Use OpenRoles

Resumes and versions

Versions is where your saved resumes live. A good setup is a base resume plus a version for each kind of role, for example “Backend · Java” and “Lead · Web”.

Add a version

• Upload or write one on OpenRoles.
• Have your assistant write one. Paste a posting and ask it to tailor your resume. It reads your saved resume, writes the new one, and saves it as a version linked to that job. Saving a version this way is free.
• Tailor from a job page. On a role’s page, choose a resume and Tailor a version for this job. OpenRoles makes a new version named “Company — Role” in about twenty seconds, and leaves the resume you started from as it was.

Score a version

Ask your assistant to score a resume, or run the score on OpenRoles. You get a score out of 100, a breakdown across six criteria, and the specific problems to fix.

Linked to a job

A version made for one posting is remembered for it. The extension offers it first on that job’s form, and lists it last on every other form.
