# Quick Start Guide **Set up Callings.ai in 5 minutes: create an account, upload your resume, find matching jobs, and generate your first custom resume.** Welcome to Callings.ai! By the end of this guide, you'll have your profile set up and be ready to apply for your first job with AI superpowers.  ## Step 1: Create Your Account & Set Up Your Profile Everything in Callings.ai starts with understanding **you**. 1. Go to the **Sign Up** page. 2. Create an account using your email or social login. 3. When prompted, set up your profile using **one of three options**: ### Profile Setup Options The Profile Setup modal offers three convenient tabs to import your resume: | Tab | Description | |-----|-------------| | **Upload File** | Drag & drop or browse to upload your resume file. Supports PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, PNG, TIFF, RTF, and more. You can even upload a photo of your resume taken with your phone! | | **LinkedIn** | Paste your LinkedIn profile URL (e.g., `https://www.linkedin.com/in/your-profile`) to automatically import your professional experience. | | **Paste Text** | Copy and paste your resume content directly from any source—minimum 50 characters required. |  **Tips:** - **Don't have your final resume?** That's okay! Upload an older version or draft—you can update it anytime, and the platform will automatically refresh all insights. - **All three methods work equally well**—the AI uses your content to build your profile regardless of the source. - *Important: Your resume is only used to set up your profile and power all the AI features, personalized job matching, and custom content generation. Nothing will be shared or submitted without your consent.* ## Step 2: Review Your Insights Once your resume is uploaded, our AI immediately analyzes it to create your "My Insights" profile. 1. Navigate to **My Profile > My Insights**. 2. Review the **My Goals** section. - The AI has inferred your career goals based on your experience. - **Action:** Edit any goals that don't feel right. This helps the AI find better job matches for you. ## Step 3: Find Your First Job Opportunity Now let's find a job to pursue. 1. Go to **Find Jobs > Matching Jobs**. 2. Browse the list of AI-recommended roles. 3. Click on a job card to see a quick summary. 4. Click the **+ Add to Tracker** button on a job that looks interesting. *Alternatively, if you have a specific job URL from LinkedIn, a company career page, or other job boards, go to **Job Tracker** and click **Add Jobs Manually** to paste the URL.* ## Step 4: Analyze the Opportunity Let's see if this job is actually a good fit. 1. Navigate to your **Job Tracker**. 2. Click on the job you just added to open the **Job Details** section. 3. In the **Evaluate** section, click on **Job Fit Report**. 4. Read the report to understand your strengths, potential gaps, and match score for this specific role. ## Step 5: Generate a Custom Resume Ready to apply? Let's tailor your resume. 1. In the same Job Detail, scroll to the **Prepare** section. 2. Click **Custom Resume**. 3. The AI will draft a version of your resume specifically highlighted for this job description. 4. Review the changes, make any edits, and click **Download PDF**. ## Congratulations! You've just completed your first workflow in Callings.ai. You've gone from a raw resume to a tailored application in minutes. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: I uploaded my resume but don't see any job matches. What's wrong?** A: It may take a couple of days to get a good feed of matching jobs. Let the agent work behind the scene. If you still don't see matches, check your Search Preferences—they might be too restrictive. **Q: Can I skip the My Insights step and go straight to applying?** A: You can, but we don't recommend it. The 5 minutes you spend reviewing your goals dramatically improves the quality of your job matches and custom resumes throughout your search. **Q: What if I don't like the AI-generated resume?** A: All AI-generated content is fully editable. You can modify any section, add new content, or use it as inspiration while keeping your original resume. **Q: How many jobs should I add to my tracker?** A: Quality over quantity! Start with 5-10 strong matches. It's better to deeply work 10 opportunities than to superficially apply to 100. **Q: Can I use this on my phone?** A: The application is currently not optimized to run on small screens. ### What's Next? - **[Deep Dive into My Resumes](/docs/my-profile/base-resume/overview)**: Learn how to optimize your resumes. - **[Master the Job Tracker](/docs/job-tracker/overview)**: Organize your entire search. - **[Explore Job Tools](/docs/job-tools/overview)**: Learn about Cover Letters, Networking, and Interview Prep. --- *You&#x
