Managing Your Resumes

Upload resumes, set a default for applications, create variants, and rename or delete them on the Documents page.

  • Upload one or more resumes on the Documents page and Aplyr parses every section automatically.
  • Set one resume as your Default — that's the one Quick Apply and Autopilot send unless a job has its own tailored version.
  • Keep multiple variants for different roles, then rename or delete any of them whenever you like.

How to upload a resume

Everything lives on the Documents page, under the Resumes tab.

  1. Go to Documents and make sure the Resumes tab is selected.
  2. If this is your first resume, click Upload your resume; if you already have resumes, click the dashed New Resume card.
  3. Drop a PDF here or click to browse, or use Choose File to pick one from your computer.
  4. Aplyr parses your name, experience, skills, and education into editable sections. Click the resume card to review and tidy anything that didn't come through cleanly.

💡 Tip Already added a resume during signup? On the empty state you can choose Or import from your profile instead of re-uploading.

Setting your default resume

Your default resume is the one Aplyr submits for you. Quick Apply and Autopilot use it for every application unless that specific job has an AI-tailored version attached.

  1. Hover over (or tap) a resume card and click the ⋮ menu in the top-right corner.
  2. Choose Set as Default.

The chosen resume gets a Default badge, and any previous default is unset automatically — you always have exactly one. If you only have a single resume, it's your default by definition.

Creating multiple resumes and variants

There's no limit to keeping a few versions on hand — for example one for product roles and one for program-management roles. You can build variants two ways:

  • Upload another file using the New Resume card, the same way you added your first.
  • Duplicate an existing resume from its ⋮ menu, then open the copy and edit it. This is the fastest way to spin up a near-identical variant without re-uploading.
📌 Note Duplicating and editing creates a separate base resume you can set as default. It's different from AI-tailored versions, which are generated per job — see AI resume tailoring.

Renaming a resume

Open a resume by clicking its card, then edit the title at the top of the editor. The card on the Documents page updates accordingly. A descriptive title such as "Senior PM — 2026" makes it easy to identify the right variant. Each card also shows when it was last Edited.

Deleting a resume

  1. Open the resume's ⋮ menu and choose Delete.
  2. Confirm in the dialog. Deleting is permanent and can't be undone.
⚠️ Warning Don't delete the resume that's currently set as Default without picking a new one. If you have no default resume, Quick Apply and Autopilot can't submit applications until you set one.
