Resumes & CVs

You don't keep several resumes here. You keep one profile, and a set of versions that each decide which parts of it to print.

That is the whole idea, and it's worth getting straight before anything else: a version is a filter over your profile, not a copy of it. Fix a typo in a role once and every version showing that role is fixed. Nothing goes stale in a document you forgot you had.

Your versions live at Resumes & CVs.

Resume or CV

Every version renders as both. They come from the same profile — the CV is simply the longer form, printing more than the resume does (on the standard template: references, and fuller dates on your education).

You never choose one globally. You pick which of the two you're sending on the application itself, and each version can be told to appear on one and not the other.

Making a version

On Resumes & CVs, click Add New Version and give it a name — "Backend Engineer", "Data", "Short one-pager". That's the only required field; the URL slug is generated from the name.

Under advanced options there is Extends. A version that extends another inherits its choices and then adjusts them, which saves rebuilding a near-copy by hand. Handy when your "Data" version is your "Backend" version plus two projects and minus a role.

Deciding what goes on it

Nothing is dragged into a version. Instead, each item on your profile carries its own rule, set from the tags button on that item:

• All versions — the default. It prints everywhere.
• Show only on — pick versions, and it appears on those and nowhere else.
• Hide from — pick versions, and it appears everywhere except those.

You can set this at real granularity: whole roles, individual achievements within a role, side projects, education, skill categories, skills and technologies. That granularity is the point — trimming a resume is usually about dropping three bullets, not a whole job.

resume and cv are available as targets alongside your own versions, so "never print this on a resume, only on the longer CV" is a rule you can state directly.

Profile-only items

Hide something from both resume and cv and it becomes profile-only: it still counts toward job matching, but no document prints it and the AI won't write about it. That's the right home for a skill you'd happily discuss but wouldn't headline. There is more on this under Getting the best results.

A version can override it. Tag the item onto one version by name and it comes back on that document alone — off by default, on where you meant it.

Per-version settings

Open a version to find:

• Contact details — uncheck a field to keep it off this version's documents. Fields you left empty on your profile never appear anyway.
• Use as public resume / Use as public CV — which version answers your public profile link. Set neither and that link stops working entirely, leaving your documents reachable only through a private share link. See Sharing your CV.

Templates, languages, PDFs

Template and Language at the top of the page are lenses over the whole list — switch either and every preview and download below re-renders through it. You get the built-in Standard template plus any custom templates on your profile. The language selector only appears once your profile has translations.

Each version offers Resume and CV, each viewable in the browser or downloadable as PDF. Viewing is free; generating a PDF costs one credit, so they're kept once made rather than re-rendered each time.

Tailoring one to a specific job

From an application's Document for this job tab, you can build a version aimed at that one posting.

It picks what to show from everything on your profile — which achievements, which side projects, and any skill the job asks for that your document would otherwise hide. It never rewrites your words. Nothing on your profile is edited; the tailored version is a set of exceptions layered over a version you already have.

A few things worth knowing:

• It starts from the version you'd otherwise send, stated under the button. You can pick a different base.
• Each version in the picker is annotated with how much of what the job asks for it would actually print — "names 3 of 7". That's information about the choice, not a recommendation.
• Roles and skills it held back are listed, each with a one-click way to put it on this job's version after all. Overriding here stays local to this job.
• Tailored versions don't clutter your library. They belong to their application. If one turns out to be generally good, Keep in my versions promotes it into the library under its own name.

Recording what you sent

On the same tab, record which document actually went out. It's a small habit that pays off twice: months later you can see exactly what an interviewer read, and the pending answer is what lets the page warn you when the document you're about to send leaves out something the job explicitly asks for.
