Resume Builder - Candidate guide

You can build a resume, keep several versions, and choose whether employers can find it.

Open the builder

1. Sign in and open your Candidate Dashboard.
2. Click My Resumes.
3. Click + New Resume, type a title (for example “Software Engineer Resume”) and click Create. Or click Edit on a resume you already have.

The builder opens with that resume loaded. If the site sets a limit on resumes, the page shows how many you have used, such as “1 of 2 resumes”.

Build your resume

The builder is a list of sections. Click a section header to open or close it.

Summary and profile

• Professional Summary - a short overview of your background and goals.
• Years of experience - used by the Experience filter in the candidate directory.
• Open to new opportunities - when on, you appear under Open to Work in the directory.

Add an entry

1. Open a section, for example Work Experience.
2. Click Add Entry. A blank entry opens for editing.
3. Fill in the fields.
4. Click Done. The entry collapses to a compact row.

Click the pencil on a row to edit it again.

What each section asks for

Work Experience: Job Title, Company, Employment Type, Location, Start Date, End Date, Currently Working Here, Description, Skills Used.

School: School Name, Certificate / Qualification, Field of Study, Start Date, End Date, Grade, Description.

College / University: Institution, Degree Type, Field of Study, Start Date, End Date, GPA, Description, Achievements.

Skills: Skill and Proficiency Level (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced or Expert).

Languages: Language and Proficiency Level (Basic, Conversational, Fluent or Native).

Certifications: Certificate Name, Issuing Body, Issue Date, Expiry Date, Credential ID, Credential URL.

Portfolio & Links: Label (for example “GitHub”) and URL.

Remove an entry

Click Remove in the entry, or the bin icon on its row. Confirm the prompt. Then click Save Resume so the removal is saved.

Save your resume

• Click Save Resume in the builder header at any time. The button reads Saving… while it works.
• Clicking Done on an entry, changing Years of experience or switching Open to new opportunities also saves after a few seconds.
• Click Save Resume after you add or remove an entry or change the summary.

Delete a resume

1. Open My Resumes on your dashboard.
2. Click Delete on the resume.
3. Click Confirm.

A deleted resume is removed permanently.

Choose who can see it

The Public switch in the builder header is off by default.

• Off: only you and the employers you apply to can see the resume.
• On: your resume has its own page at /resume/{slug}/ and appears in the site’s Find Candidates directory.

The switch takes effect straight away. The site owner can also limit the directory to signed-in members or approved employers. A resume you keep private never appears in the directory.
