Adding a résumé to the Résumé Bank

How to add one

1. Open the Résumé Bank and press Add Resume.
2. Give it a name if you like. If you leave it blank, we use the file name.
3. Choose a file, or paste the text into the box under "Or paste manually".
4. Press Add Resume.

Which files work

• PDF — as long as it contains real text (you can select the words in a PDF viewer).
• Word (.docx).
• Plain text (.txt).

Older .doc files may not read correctly. If one fails, open it in Word or Google Docs and save it as .docx or PDF first.

A résumé needs at least 50 characters to be added, and at least 120 to be refined — in practice, paste the whole document.

Your file stays on your device

The Résumé Bank reads the file in your browser and saves only the text. The file itself is not uploaded.

Scanned résumés

A scanned PDF is a picture of text, so there is nothing to read and you will see "Could not extract enough text from the file". What to do
