Resume Tracking
Manage multiple resume versions and track which one you used for each application.
Why Track Resume Versions
Most job seekers maintain multiple resume versions tailored to different roles. Tracking them helps you:
- Know exactly which resume you sent to each company
- Prepare for interviews by reviewing what the company saw
- Analyze which resume versions get more responses
- Avoid confusion when recruiters call about specific applications
Adding Resume Versions
To add a resume version:
- Navigate to Resumes in the sidebar
- Click Add Resume
- Give it a descriptive name
- Add a description of what this version emphasizes
- Optionally upload the file or paste the content
Resume Information
Required:
- Resume name (e.g., Frontend Developer Resume)
Optional:
- Description of focus areas
- File upload (PDF recommended)
- Text content for search
Naming Your Resumes
Use clear, descriptive names that help you identify each version:
Good Examples:
- Senior Frontend Engineer - React Focus
- Full Stack Developer - Startup Version
- Tech Lead Resume - Management Experience
- Backend Engineer - Python/AWS
Avoid:
- Resume v2 (unclear what changed)
- New Resume (will be outdated soon)
- Final Resume (rarely actually final)
Setting a Default Resume
You can mark one resume as your default. This resume will be pre-selected when adding new applications, saving you time.
To set a default, open a resume and toggle the Default option, or click the star icon on the resume list.
Linking Resumes to Applications
When adding or editing an application, you can select which resume version you used:
- Open the application form (new or edit)
- Find the Resume Used field
- Select from your saved resume versions
- Save the application
When viewing an application, you can see which resume was used and access it directly.
Uploading Resume Files
You can upload the actual resume file for reference:
- Supported formats: PDF (recommended), DOC, DOCX
- Maximum file size: 5MB
- Files are stored securely and encrypted
Having the file uploaded means you can quickly review exactly what a company received before an interview.
Tips for Managing Resumes
Keep Versions Focused
Rather than making small tweaks for each job, create a few well-defined versions targeting different role types.
Add Descriptions
Include details about what each version emphasizes, making it easy to choose the right one when applying.
Review Before Interviews
Always check which resume you sent before an interview so you can speak to the exact experience you highlighted.
Archive Old Versions
Keep but clearly label outdated resume versions. They provide useful history but should not be used for new applications.
