Single-page resume form
You can choose how candidates edit a resume. Pro has three forms. All three save to the same resume, so a candidate can switch between them without losing data.
The three forms
Section titled “The three forms”| Form | Block | Shortcode | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Resume Builder | wcb/resume-builder |
[wcbp_resume_builder] |
Candidates building a resume section by section. Sections open and close and entries show as compact rows. |
| Resume Form (Single-Page) | wcb/resume-form |
[wcbp_resume_form] |
Candidates who want every section visible on one scrolling page. |
| Resume Form (Quick Profile) | wcb/resume-form-simple |
[wcbp_resume_form_simple] |
A short profile in a sidebar, modal or onboarding step. See Quick Resume Form. |
The Resume Builder and the single-page form edit the resume in the ?resume_id= address parameter. If the address has no resume of the candidate’s own, they open the candidate’s most recently edited resume. The Quick Profile form edits the candidate’s existing resume, or creates one on the first save.
What the single-page form shows
Section titled “What the single-page form shows”- A Public switch. Off means only the candidate and employers they apply to can see the resume. On lists it in the candidate directory.
- Professional Summary, Years of experience and Open to new opportunities.
- One block for each section: School, College / University, Work Experience, Certifications, Skills, Languages and Portfolio & Links. Each has an Add button, for example Add Work Experience, and each entry has a Remove button that asks for confirmation.
- Additional details for any custom fields you add.
- A Save Resume button. A “Saved” message shows when it finishes.
Switch a page to the single-page form
Section titled “Switch a page to the single-page form”- Go to Pages → All Pages and open the page that holds the Resume Builder block.
- Remove the Resume Builder block.
- Add the Resume Form (Single-Page) block, or the shortcode
[wcbp_resume_form]. - Update the page.
Candidates keep their existing data.
The candidate dashboard opens its own built-in Resume Builder when a candidate clicks Edit. It does not use the block you place on another page.
Block options
Section titled “Block options”Resume Form (Single-Page) has one option, compact, for tighter spacing in narrow columns. It is off by default.
Change the sections
Section titled “Change the sections”These filters change the sections of both the Resume Builder and the single-page form:
wcbp_resume_groups- add, remove or rename sections and their fields.wcbp_resume_textarea_fields,wcbp_resume_checkbox_fieldsandwcbp_resume_date_fields- change a field’s input type.
The Quick Profile form has no repeating sections, so these filters do not apply to it. Use the wcb_resume_form_fields filter to add a field to all three forms.
