How to Use the Custom Resume Generator

Step 1: Complete Your Profile

Before generating your first custom resume, you need to add your professional information to your Migrate Mate profile. This information will be the foundation for all the resumes you generate.

Access Your Profile

1. In the left sidebar, look for your name at the bottom
2. Click on your name to access your profile
3. Click the purple "Edit" button at the top

Add Your Work Experience

In the edit panel that appears on the right, you'll find several sections. Complete the information in each one:

• Experience: Add your complete work history, including job titles, company names, start and end dates, and detailed descriptions of your responsibilities and achievements.
• Education: Include your academic degrees, institutions, graduation dates, and fields of study.
• Skills: List your relevant technical and professional skills.
• Desired Role: Indicate the type of position you're looking for (e.g., "Project Manager").
• Upload Resume: You can upload your current resume in PDF format so our system can automatically extract your information.

Important: Make sure to provide detailed and accurate information. The more complete your profile is, the better the generated resume will be. Include numbers, metrics, and specific achievements whenever possible.

Step 2: Find a Job That Interests You

Once your profile is complete, it's time to search for job opportunities.

1. Go to "All Jobs" in the left sidebar
2. Use the filters and search bar to find jobs that match your interests and qualifications
3. Click on any job card to view the full details of the position
4. Carefully review the job description, requirements, and responsibilities

Step 3: Generate Your Custom Resume

When you find a job you want to apply for, our Custom Resume Generator is ready to help you.

Start the Generation

1. On the job details page, scroll down to find the "Apply Now" button
2. Just below it, you'll see the "Generate Custom Resume" button with a magic wand icon
3. Click on "Generate Custom Resume"

Review and Confirm Your Information

After clicking, a window will open showing:

• The specific job you're generating the resume for
• Your current profile information, including your work experience, education, and skills
• Recommended skills relevant to the position that you can add
• A link to edit your profile if you need to update any information

Review carefully: This is the perfect moment to ensure all your information is accurate and up to date. If you notice something missing or needs correction, click "Edit Profile" before continuing.

1. Review the displayed information
2. If everything is correct, click the purple "Generate Custom Resume" button at the bottom
3. Wait 10-20 seconds while our system creates your customized resume

Step 4: Download Your Resume

Once the generation is complete, you'll see a preview of your customized resume.

• Download as DOCX: Click the "DOCX" button to download an editable Microsoft Word version that you can modify if needed
• Download as PDF: Click the "PDF" button to download a ready-to-send version that maintains professional formatting

Recommendation: Download both formats. Use the PDF to send your application and save the DOCX in case you need to make minor adjustments later.

Additional Options After Generating

Regenerate Button

If you're not satisfied with the generated resume, click "Regenerate" to create a new version.

Edit Button

After generating your resume, click "Edit" to make additional refinements to the draft. Please note that any edits made at this stage apply only to the current resume version and will not update your profile information.

Access Previous Drafts

If you generate a resume for a job and don't download it, you can go back to that job and view the draft you previously generated by clicking "View Custom Resume."

Why Use the Custom Resume Generator?

Our Custom Resume Generator offers multiple advantages:

• ATS Optimization: Our system analyzes the job description and optimizes your resume with the keywords and skills that Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) are looking for.
• Personalized relevance: Each resume is specifically adapted to the job, highlighting the most relevant experience and skills for that particular position.
• Time savings: Instead of manually creating a different resume for each application, our generator does it for you in seconds.
• Professional format: All generated resumes follow best practices for professional formatting and design.
• Higher interview chances: By tailoring your resume to each specific job, you significantly increase your chances of being selected for an interview.

Tips for Getting the Best Results

1. Keep your profile updated: Regularly update your profile with new experiences, skills, and achievements.
2. Be specific with achievements: Include numbers, percentages, and concrete metrics when describing your achievements (e.g., "Increased sales by 30%" instead of "Increased sales").
3. Add suggested skills: Pay attention to the recommended skills displayed by the system and add them to your profile if you possess them.
4. Review before sending: Although our generator is very accurate, always review the final resume before sending it to ensure it reflects exactly what you want to communicate.
5. Generate a unique resume for each application: Don't use the same resume for all jobs. Take advantage of our tool to create a customized one for each opportunity.

Troubleshooting

The "Generate Custom Resume" button doesn't appear

• Make sure you have completed at least your basic work experience information in your profile. The generator needs this information to function.

The generated resume seems incomplete

• This usually means information is missing from your profile. Go to "Edit Profile" and complete all sections with as much detail as possible.

The system takes a long time to generate the resume

• Generation normally takes 10-30 seconds. If more than a minute has passed, try refreshing the page and trying again
