Uploading and Editing Your Resume
Your resume is one of the first things employers see. The portal makes it easy to upload, edit, and improve.
Three ways to add your resume
- Upload a file — PDF, Word document, or image.
- Take a photo of your printed resume — the portal can read the text from a picture.
- Build one in the portal — fill in a simple form and we make a clean resume for you.
How to upload a resume file
- Sign in and go to the Documents page.
- Find the Resume card and tap Upload.
- Choose the file from your phone or computer.
- Tap Save.
How to upload a photo of your printed resume
- Go to the Documents page.
- Find the Resume card and tap Upload.
- Tap Take photo or pick a photo from your gallery.
- Make sure the picture is clear and the text is easy to read.
- Tap Save.
The portal will read the photo and turn it into a digital resume for you. This may take a minute. After it is done, check the details and fix anything wrong.
Tip: A clear, well-lit photo works best. Avoid shadows, glare, and crooked angles. See How to upload a clear, accepted document for more tips.
How to edit your resume
- Go to the Documents page or the Profile page.
- Tap your Resume.
- Tap Edit.
- Add or change your work history, skills, and education.
- Tap Save.
Your resume updates immediately. You do not need to upload a new file every time.
What employers look for
- Clear job titles and dates for each job.
- Specific skills — for example, "MIG welding" instead of just "welding".
- Certifications — driver's licence, PRC licence, NC II, first aid.
- Languages spoken.
Why your resume matters
A complete and clean resume can earn you points toward your OES score and is required for almost every job. If your resume is missing or incomplete, you will see it in your Next Best Tasks.
