Step by step

1. 1

   Open the dialog

   Click “Create” in the sidebar and choose Résumé, or “Use this template” on any template page.

2. 2

   Choose how to start

   “Upload a résumé” turns your PDF or DOCX into an editable résumé (uses AI). Or start from your Career Vault, or from a template’s example with “Start from the example” — example lines are flagged so you replace each one.

3. 3

   Target a job (optional)

   Turn on “Target a job” and paste the job description. The résumé opens with a job match score and the keywords to work in.

4. 4

   Name it and create

   Give it a “Résumé name” such as “Northwind — Senior Frontend” and press “Create résumé”. A short tour shows you the editor the first time.
