The review screen, with the sections recognised in the sample resume.

What you get

  1. Four sources accepted

    PDF, Word, LinkedIn export or JSON Resume, and pasted text if the file won't read.

  2. You approve each section

    A section already filled in arrives unticked: nothing replaces your text without your say.

  3. File not kept

    It is read, its sections extracted, then discarded. Only what you tick joins your resume.

Frequently asked questions

Is the import accurate?
A column layout or a scanned resume reads poorly: that is why the review screen exists. Whatever wasn't recognised is listed, so you can add it yourself.
Will it overwrite what I've already written?
Never without your tick. A section already filled in arrives unticked and is labelled “to replace”.
Do I need an account?
Not to import and write. A free account keeps the resume and lets you download it.
