Delete a resume
You may need to delete a resume if you want to upload a new resume, but already have five in your profile. When you delete a resume, it will be completely removed from your profile.
Make a resume searchable
You can make your resume searchable, so your profile and resume will be visible to recruiters searching our resume bank. Learn more about making a resume searchable.
Upload a resume or create a resume
You can upload a resume or use our Resume Builder to build one. Resumes can be no larger than 5MB in size. You can upload in the following formats:
- GIF
- JPG
- JPEG
