The Profile and Resume tab in your Preferences is where you manage every resume on your account and the profile information Auto Apply uses to tailor applications. Keeping this up to date matters more than most users realize — job matching is driven primarily by your resume, not by your preferences.
Why your resume matters most for matching
Auto Apply uses your preferences (job titles, locations, salary, etc.) as filters, but the actual matching between you and a job is based on your resume. The system looks at your experience, skills, and background to decide which roles are a good fit — so an incomplete or outdated resume leads to weaker matches, even if your preferences are set perfectly.
If you’re not happy with the matches you’re getting, the first thing to check is your resume. Make sure it includes:
All relevant work experience, with clear titles and dates
Specific skills and tools you’ve used
Education, including languages and certifications
Anything else that reflects your current experience level and direction
Managing your resumes
The Manage your resumes section shows every resume on your account and lets you choose which one is used for your applications.
Auto-Customize
When Auto-Customize is on, we tailor your resume for each job before applying. You’ll see this toggle at the top of the Resumes section.
Your active resume
Right below the toggle, you’ll see which resume is currently in use. Two options appear by default:
Your Uploaded Resume — the resume file you’ve uploaded
AIApply Resume — a resume generated from the information in your profile
Only one is active at a time. You can switch between them using the Use this instead button.
Choose from your resumes
Below that, you’ll see a list of every resume on your account. The one currently in use is marked Used by this role. You can switch to a different one by clicking Use this resume, or edit any of them.
Adding a new resume
At the bottom of the list, you can:
Build a new resume from scratch using the Resume Builder
Upload Resume to add an existing file
Open Resume Builder to work on your profile-based resume
Auto-Customized Resumes
The Auto-Customized Resumes section shows the tailored versions of your resume that AIApply has created for each job you’ve applied to. Each tailored resume appears here automatically once an application goes out, so you can review what was submitted on your behalf.
Resume Information
The Resume Information section is where you enter and edit the structured information Auto Apply uses to build and tailor your resume. It covers:
Experience — your work history, including role titles, companies, dates, and descriptions
Education — degrees, institutions, dates, and areas of study
Languages — languages you speak and your proficiency level
Skills — specific skills and your level for each
References from previous employers — professional references you’d like to include
Keeping this information complete and current directly improves the quality of your matches and the resumes we tailor on your behalf. If your experience changes, update it here.
