Create/Upload your Initial Resume

1. Open the menu using the 3-line button in the top left corner and select ‘Initial Resume Loader’.
2. If this is your first time here, you’ll have 2 options to either upload or create your initial resume
3. If you choose ‘Create Initial Resume’, you will need to enter all your employment and education history manually. You can copy and paste from an old resume, or just type it out from scratch.
4. If you choose ‘Upload initial resume (pdf)’ you’ll be asked to select a pdf file for the system to read and enter your details. This can be an existing resume, but as each resume is formatted differently our system may only be able to read part of the information. The most effective option is to use a copy of your Linkedin profile saved to pdf.
Note: If you're using the Upload option, the AI will attempt to rewrite your experience details at this point. Please don’t close the browser window or your Initial Resume may not be created correctly.
5. Check over the details that the system has managed to extract/create from your uploaded file, and add/edit/delete as required. If no edits are required after uploading, select 'Generate Application' from the main menu to move to the next step
Note: The most successful applications have at least 3 relevant experiences and at least one education listed, but if you don’t have all of those our AI will still work with as little as one experience or one education listing.
6. If you edited or created your Initial Resume, click/tap the floating green button to Update your account in the cloud
Note: If you don't have at least 3 experiences and 1 education you'll get a prompt to confirm that you want to go ahead with the Update.
7. If you manually created your Initial Resume, our AI will rewrite the ‘Achievements and Responsibilities’ section based on the information you enter. It works best if you have 3-5 relevant points for each employment, especially anything with specific metrics/measurable outcomes.
Note: If you leave this section blank our AI will try to come up with some good dot points for your resume, but you will want to check and edit those before sending off your application just in case they aren’t applicable to you.

Create a pdf of your Linkedin profile

1. Go to the Linkedin website (https://www.linkedin.com/) and Click/Tap on your name to open your Profile
2. Just under your photo and name, click/tap the ‘More’ button and then select 'Save to PDF'
3. This will download a handy version of your Linkedin profile as a .pdf file that is easier for our system to read, so you don't have to re-enter the same information
Note: This only works on the Linkedin website, you are not able to extract your profile in this way from the Linkedin Mobile App.

Generate a New Job Application

1. Open the menu using the 3-line button in the top left corner and select ‘Application Generator’.
2. Copy and paste across the details of the job you’re interested in applying for.
Note: The ‘Job Title’ is the only section required, but the more information you can provide the AI, the better it can create a targeted resume and cover letter for each job - especially getting information about the role/applicant that the employer is looking for
3. Once all the information has been entered, click/tap the floating green button to Generate your new application.
Note: Please don’t close the browser window or your application may not be created correctly.
