# Resumes

> Upload your resume once — Yoinka parses it so the extension can autofill any application.

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](/extension/overview) 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.

## Supported formats

| Format                  | Parsing quality                                         |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| **PDF** (text-based)    | Excellent                                               |
| **DOCX**                | Excellent                                               |
| **PDF** (scanned image) | Poor — use OCR first, or re-export from your source doc |
| **TXT / RTF**           | Good structurally, loses formatting                     |
| **Pages** (.pages)      | Export to PDF or DOCX first                             |
| **LaTeX** (.tex)        | Compile to PDF first                                    |

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How accurate is the parser?">
    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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is my resume used to train any AI model?">
    No. Your resume is stored in your account and used only to autofill your own applications. We do not train models on user resumes.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I have resumes in multiple languages?">
    Yes. The parser handles English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese. Submit feedback via [support@yoinka.com](mailto:support@yoinka.com) if your resume is in another language — we'll add it.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What if my resume changes?">
    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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does Yoinka edit or optimize my resume?">
    No. Yoinka reads what you upload. If you want rewrite tools, export your parsed JSON, feed it to an LLM, re-import.
