Pro Tips

  • Use a clear PDF - Make sure your resume is readable. Scanned images might not work well.
  • Check the extraction - AI is smart but not perfect. Review everything and fix any mistakes.
  • Add missing info - If something didn't extract, you can add it manually.
  • Use tags - Add tags like "tech", "marketing", or job titles to stay organized.
  • Keep LinkedIn updated - The better your LinkedIn profile, the better the import will be.

Supported Formats

  • PDF files (recommended)
  • File size: Up to 1MB
  • LinkedIn PDF exports

Troubleshooting

"Import failed" - Try a different PDF or check file size (max 1MB)

"Data looks wrong" - Your PDF might have unusual formatting. Try re-exporting it.

"Missing information" - Some data might not have extracted. Add it manually.

"LinkedIn import not working" - Make sure you're using the official LinkedIn PDF export, not a screenshot or third-party export.
