Yoinka stores your resume as both a file (what you upload to companies) and a parsed JSON version (what the extension uses to fill forms).

​
Upload a resume

  1. Go to the Resumes page.
  2. Drop a file or click Upload. Supported formats:
    • PDF
    • DOCX
    • TXT / RTF
  3. Yoinka parses it immediately. Parsing usually takes 5–15 seconds.

​
What Yoinka extracts

From a typical resume, Yoinka pulls:
  • Contact — name, email, phone, location
  • Links — LinkedIn, GitHub, portfolio, personal site
  • Work experience — company, role, dates, bullets
  • Education — school, degree, dates, GPA
  • Skills — languages, frameworks, tools
  • Projects (if present) — name, link, description
Anything Yoinka couldn’t confidently extract is left blank — you can edit the parsed version directly on the resume detail page.

​
Multiple resumes

Some roles want a SWE-flavored resume, others want an ML-flavored one. You can upload multiple:
  • Resume A — default, general
  • Resume B — ML/research specific
  • Resume C — design-forward
Mark one as your default. The extension uses the default unless you change it per-application.

​
Editing the parsed version

Click a resume, then Edit parsed data. Fixing a misparsed date or company name here makes every future autofill better.

​
Privacy

Resumes are stored in your account only. We don’t train any model on them. You can delete a resume at any time — the file and the parsed JSON are removed immediately.

​
Using with the extension

Once the Chrome extension is installed and signed in:
  • The extension pulls your default resume and parsed fields.
  • On a Greenhouse / Workday / Lever / etc. application page, click the Yoinka button to autofill.
  • Review the form, upload the resume file (the extension attaches it), and submit.

FAQ

For a well-formatted resume (text PDF, standard sections), expect 90%+ of fields captured correctly. Less-standard layouts (columns, graphics, custom sections) drop to 60–80%. Always review the parsed fields after upload.
No. Your resume is stored in your account and used only to autofill your own applications. We do not train models on user resumes.
Yes. The parser handles English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese. Submit feedback via support@yoinka.com if your resume is in another language — we’ll add it.
Upload a new version. Mark it default and the extension switches to it on the next page load. Previous versions stay stored unless you delete them.
No. Yoinka reads what you upload. If you want rewrite tools, export your parsed JSON, feed it to an LLM, re-import.
