| Work Experience | Job title, company, dates, description |
| Education | Degree, institution, dates |
| Skills | Skill name and optional proficiency level |
| Languages | Language name and proficiency |
| Certifications | Certificate name, issuing body, date |
| Links | Portfolio, GitHub, LinkedIn, etc. |
Admin Setup
Section titled “Admin Setup”Before candidates can use the Resume Builder, set it up in two steps:
- Create a page and add the Resume Builder block to it

Once assigned, the Candidate Dashboard’s My Resumes tab will link to this page automatically.

From this tab, candidates can:
- See all saved resumes with their last-updated date

- Click Delete to permanently remove a resume
