Smart Text Extraction

Upload a job description file—PDF, Word, or Excel—and extract the text in one click. It fills your job description field so you can edit, use AI to format it, or generate a tailored CV. No copy‑paste.

How it works

How it works

Add a job application, upload a file, then extract its text into the job description—optionally with AI formatting.

Step 1

Add an application and upload a file

In My CV → Job applications (or the content editor job list), add a new application or open an existing one. Upload the job description as a PDF, Word, or Excel file using the file upload area.

Upload PDF, Word, or Excel to your job application
Step 2

Click Extract Text

Next to the uploaded file, click Extract Text. The text is pulled from the document and inserted into the Job description field. You can replace existing text or extract into an empty description.

Step 3

Edit, format with AI, or generate your CV

Use the extracted text as-is or tick Format with AI when extracting for clearer sections and paragraphs. The same description is used when you generate an AI CV variant or extract keywords for the role.
