Step 2: Upload Your Resume
Upload the resume you want to analyze for this specific job. This should be a Base Resume or a doc/PDF you uploaded previously, as the system will use this to generate your skill match score.
Step 3: Review the Analysis
Once your resume is uploaded, take a moment to review the detailed analysis generated by the tool.
Step 4: Tailor Your Resume
After reviewing the analysis, click "Create Job Tailored Resume." This feature will provide tailored recommendations to enhance your resume, ensuring it effectively showcases your qualifications and maximizes your chances of catching the employer’s eye.
⚠️ Important: You can only create one job-tailored resume per job card. Once a tailored resume is generated, you won’t be able to link another base resume into it.
