How to duplicate or create multiple resume versions
Scale tailored applications with versioning, naming discipline, and targeted edits.
Most serious job searches fail on operations, not effort. Candidates lose track of what they sent, where, and why. This guide gives you a simple versioning system so you can tailor aggressively without creating chaos.
How to duplicate a resume
- Go to your Resume List on the dashboard.
- Find the resume you want to copy.
- Click the three-dot menu (⋯) on the resume card.
- Select Duplicate.
- A copy appears immediately with the name 'Copy of [original name]'.
- Rename it to match the role or company you are targeting.
Managing multiple versions
Keep one master resume with your complete, unedited history. Use this as the source for all duplicates. Name each copy clearly so you know which version you sent where — for example: 'Nielsen - Product Manager - Spotify 2026'.
What to change in each version
- Profile summary: adjust for the role and company.
- Top bullet points in your most recent roles: prioritise the most relevant ones.
- Skills list: match the terminology in the job description.
- Template or accent colour: optional, but some people use different styles for different industries.
