Upload a resume

Keep your profile up-to-date by ensuring your Clora Consultant Profile has the most current version of your resume/CV. Clora's resume uploader takes advantage of resume parsing technology in order to make building and maintaining your profile efficient.

Review and accept suggestions that Clora is able to extract from your uploaded resume/CV.

Getting Started

Login (hyperlink to login page) to your Clora account and navigate to your profile by clicking your icon/name in the upper right corner.

Adding resume for the first time

If you have yet to upload a resume, click on +Add Resume

If you have an existing resume

If you have an existing resume/CV, click on the Edit link.

In the new window, click on the Clear File link.

Upload a new resume

Once you have opened the resume file uploader window OR cleared out your out-of-date resume/CV, click on the Select a File button and select the appropriate resume/CV file.

Click the Save button to save your file to your profile.

TIP: For best results and to maximize the chances for Clora to read and extract your information, we recommend having your resume/CV in either a Word Document (e.g. .docx, .doc) or a Non-Image PDF file type.

Reviewing suggestions (if applicable)

Once you have completed the upload, if we are able to effectively scan your resume/CV we will present suggestions for review.

We’ll do our best to scan and extract the following items:

  • Bio/About/Summary

  • Location

  • Education

  • Past Job History

If you would like to accept ALL suggestions, click the Add suggestions button OR you can skip/not accept suggestions by clicking Skip.

Accepting, Editing, or Declining Certain Suggestions

You have the option to accept, edit, or decline the suggestions on a per-item basis.

To accept, keep the checkbox ON. By default, all will be checked ON.

To edit, click on the pencil icon to make your changes.

All changes will be reflected upon saving.

If you would like to decline a certain item, uncheck the box. The item will now have a strike-through. You can check this back ON if you would like to accept.

Adding Suggestions to Your Profile

Once you have confirmed your profile suggestions, click Add suggestions.

Your profile will be updated upon confirmation.

TIP: This will overwrite information you already have in those fields.

  • Bio/about/summary

  • Location

  • Education

  • Past Job History

What type of file format should my resume/CV be in?

For best results and to maximize the chances for Clora to read and extract your information, we recommend one of the following:

  • Word Document (e.g. .docx, .doc)

  • Non-Image PDF

I didn’t get any suggestions after uploading my resume/CV. What should I do?

We will do our best to scan and extract as much as we can from your resume/CV, but sometimes due to a variety of reasons, we may not be able to return results. Reach out to Clora via chat or email if you have any questions.

Some of the common reasons include:

  • File format is incompatible >> Convert your resume/CV to a word or non-image PDF version to increase the likelihood of returning results.

  • Your resume/CV may be an “image” rather than text >> Ensure that your resume/CV is text.

    • TIP: Convert your resume/CV to a word document to increase the likelihood of returning results.

  • Unable to recognize resume sections >> Ensuring you have clear section headlines that our scans can detect will increase the chances of returning results.

My suggestions don't quite look right. What should I do?

We will do our best to scan and extract as much as we can from your resume/CV using resume parsing technology, but sometimes, we may not be able to get things exactly right. Reach out to Clora via chat or email if you have any questions.

One of the most common reasons is:

  • Unable to recognize distinct resume sections >> Ensuring you have clear section headlines that our resume scans can detect will increase the chances of better results.

I already have information in these fields. What happens to this information if I accept suggestions?

The suggestion(s) you accept will overwrite anything you may have previously entered.

If you accept a suggestion, the data in that field will be overwritten and removed entirely. If you would like to keep the information you have in a certain section, we recommend declining all suggestion(s) for that section.
