Profile information
Profile holds the details Callings.ai puts on your resumes, cover letters and outreach (photo, name, contact details, links and address), and the answers the Callings extension fills into job applications for you (work authorization, screening questions and voluntary EEO answers).
Overview
The page has five sections, listed on the left:
| Section | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Identity & contact | Your photo, name, emails, phone, links and public handle |
| Address | Where you live |
| Work & eligibility | Your current employer, work authorization, desired pay and start date |
| Qualifications & screening | Answers to screening questions, learned from applications you filled |
| Voluntary EEO | Your standing answers to voluntary self-identification questions |
The header above them reads Account > Profile > and the section you are on. Hover the About pill for a one-line description of the section, or click it for an overview of the page.
Auto-filled from your resume or LinkedIn: when you first upload your resume or connect your LinkedIn profile, Callings.ai extracts and fills in your contact details. Review them, especially your phone number and address.
What your information is used for: - Contact headers on resumes and cover letters - Your phone and email for recruiter follow-up - Your LinkedIn profile on professional documents - Location-based job matching - Your LinkedIn profile and scheduling link in the Links menu of outreach emails, and your scheduling link in Custom Outreach messages that suggest a meeting or call - Answers the Callings extension offers when you fill a job application
Privacy first: your information is private and never shared with employers or third parties. It is only used to provide you with our services.
Accessing your profile
- Click your name and photo at the top right of any page
- Select Profile from the menu
On a phone, open Me from the bottom bar and tap Profile. The page opens on Identity & contact. On a phone, Account shows Identity & contact and Address together.
Saving your changes
There is no Save button. Each field saves as soon as you leave it (click or tab away, or press Enter), and a choice picked from a list saves at once. The line above each section's blocks says Changes save automatically, then Saving... and All changes saved. If a save fails, the line says so and offers Retry; what you typed stays in the box.
Switching to another section, or to another page of the app, also saves anything you were still typing. If you close or reload the browser tab while a save is still on its way, your browser asks you to confirm leaving first.
Identity & contact
This section has one block for each of Profile photo, Name, Account email, Contact email, Phone, Links and Callings handle.
Profile photo
Your profile photo personalizes your account and can be used in AI-generated visual materials. Click Change photo to upload a new image (or Upload photo if you have none yet), or Remove photo to delete it. Click the photo itself to re-crop the one you have. The new photo shows in the block once it is saved; if something goes wrong, the block says so.
Uploading a Photo: 1. Click Change photo 2. Select a JPEG, PNG, GIF or WebP image under 12 MB 3. Drag to position it and use the slider to zoom, then click Save
Tips for the best profile photo: - Frame your shot from the chest up: this gives AI-generated visual materials enough context to create the most representative and professional images of you - Use good lighting: natural light or well-lit environments work best - Choose a neutral background: simple backgrounds keep the focus on you - Look directly at the camera: it creates a more engaging and professional appearance
The square crop area shows exactly how your photo will appear throughout the platform.
Name
First name and Last name: your name as it appears on your documents. A name you type all in lowercase or all in capitals is capitalized when it saves; one you type in mixed case, such as McDonald, is kept exactly as you typed it.
Account email
The address you sign in with and where Callings sends your account, security and billing messages. It is never shown to other members. To change it, click Change email: the Change account email dialog asks for the new address and your current password, then Send verification email sends a link to the new address. The change takes effect when you click that link (it expires in 1 hour), and you then sign in with the new address.
Contact email
Your contact email is optional. By default, the address other people see when Callings connects you with someone (Coffee Meetup and Community Support introductions, replies to your referral invites, and your public Calling Card) is your account email. To show a different address instead (for example, if you use email aliases), click Add contact email and enter it.
A confirmation link is sent to the new address. The contact email is only used once you click that link (it expires in 24 hours) and it shows as Verified; until then, your account email is used. If the link expired, click Send the link again. Click Remove contact email at any time to go back to your account email. To change the address, remove it first and then add the new one.
The contact email only changes what other people see. Everything Callings sends to you (daily and weekly job notifications, meetup reminders, security, billing and sign-in messages) still goes to your account email.
Where your contact email is used: - Coffee Meetups - the introduction email addresses you at your contact email, and your match sees that address - Community Support - the introduction sent when an offer is accepted shares your contact email - Give Callings (invites) - replies to your invites go to your contact email - Calling Card - the email shown on your public card (templates that display an email) - AI-drafted outreach - generated messages include your contact email in the signature
Phone
- Phone number - Your phone number, used in generated application materials
- Phone type - What an application form calls this phone. Pick Mobile, Home or Work, or type your own
- Country code - Pick your country from the list; type a name, or a code such as +44, to find it. It is saved as the country and its dialling code, for example United States (+1), which lets the extension match however a form spells it
- Extension - A desk phone extension; most people leave it blank
Phone type, country code and extension are the details many application forms ask beside the number. The Callings extension saves them the first time you answer them on a form and fills them on the next one; you can also set them here. An answer the extension saved in a form's own spelling ("United States of America (+1)") is shown as the matching country, and saved in the standard form once you pick it from the list.
Links
- LinkedIn - Your LinkedIn profile URL
- Website - Your personal site, blog or portfolio, offered on application forms that ask for one
- Scheduling link - Your booking page (see below)
Scheduling link
Your scheduling link is the URL of your personal booking page, such as a Calendly link, a Google Calendar appointment page, or any other scheduling tool you use.
How to set it up: 1. Create a scheduling page with your preferred tool (Calendly, Google Calendar, Cal.com, SavvyCal, and so on) 2. Copy the public booking URL from that tool 3. Paste it into the Scheduling link field 4. Click or tab out of the field: it saves on its own
Where it is used:
Once set, your scheduling link is one tick away in outreach emails, and Custom Outreach weaves it into messages that suggest a meeting or call. You do not need to paste it in each time.
Example 1 - Networking introduction email:
"I'd love to learn more about your work at Stripe. If you have 20 minutes, feel free to pick a time that works for you: https://calendly.com/yourname"
Example 2 - Recruiter follow-up email:
"I'm flexible on timing. If it's easier, you're welcome to grab a slot directly: https://calendly.com/yourname/30min"
Currently used in: - Custom Outreach - Emails generated for any purpose that includes a meeting or call ask - The Links menu of the Outreach Assistant and Recruiter Outreach - Tick Scheduling link and the email gets a sentence inviting the reader to pick a time, just above the sign-off (see Links)
If no scheduling link is set, the Links menu shows Add in Settings for it, and Custom Outreach writes its messages without one.
Callings handle
Your public username, used in your public page addresses (for example callings.ai/u/yourhandle/campaign). Click Edit handle to change it: a handle is 5 to 30 lowercase letters and numbers, and the dialog checks that it is available as you type. Links you have already shared keep working, because your old handle forwards to the new one and nobody else can take it.
Address
The Address section is one block:
- Street address - Your street address
- Address line 2 - Apartment, suite or unit, when you have one
- City - Your city of residence
- Zip code - Your postal code
- State - Your state or province
- Country - Your country of residence
Callings.ai stores State and Country in capital letters. Address line 2 is also offered on application forms that ask for it.
Work & eligibility
The answers nearly every application asks for, stored once so you do not type them on every form.
- Current employer - Where you work now
- Work authorization:
- Authorized to work in the U.S.? and Will you require sponsorship? - Pick Yes or No, or type your own answer
- Countries you're authorized to work in - The country or countries where you may legally work. Separate several with commas
- Pay and start date:
- Desired pay - Write it the way you want it offered, for example "$95,000 / year" or "Negotiable". Applications ask in different units, and whatever you write here is offered back as-is
- Available to start - For example "Immediately" or "2 weeks notice"
How the extension uses them: a wrong answer to an eligibility question can get an application rejected automatically, so Callings never fills right-to-work or sponsorship questions in for you. When a form asks about the same country you listed here, the extension offers your saved answer and you click to use it. See Form Assist for how each kind of question is handled.
Qualifications & screening
The reusable answers Callings learned from screening questions on applications you filled: a driver's license, certifications, years with a tool, willingness to travel. The list grows as you apply; there is nothing to set up.
Each answer is a block: the question as it was asked, when it was learned, and your answer, with a label saying where the answer came from. Until the extension has learned one, the section says Nothing stored yet.
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| From a form | Saved from an application you filled in |
| From your resume | Callings read it from your record rather than being told it. Check it, and edit it to make it your own answer |
| Your answer | You set or edited it here. Nothing overwrites it |
Answers with an amount. A question with a threshold in it ("lift 50 pounds", "travel up to 25% of the time") is stored with that amount, shown as a line such as Asked at most 25%. The answer is offered again only where the same or an easier amount is asked, never a harder one.
Editing and deleting. Change an answer in its box; it saves when you leave the box or press Enter, and becomes Your answer. Emptying a box does not delete the answer (it goes back to the stored one when you leave it); to delete one, click the bin icon and confirm with Delete.
These answers are offered back on future forms as a suggestion you click to confirm. They are never filled in automatically, and job-specific questions (a schedule, a pay figure for one role) are never stored here.
Voluntary EEO
The demographic questions U.S. applications include for government reporting. Answering is always optional. Store your standing answers here (including "decline to answer") so you are not asked the same questions on every form.
The questions: - Sex - The question U.S. government reporting asks. Some forms label it "Gender" - Gender identity - A separate question some employers ask. It is never used to answer the one above - Are you Hispanic or Latino? - Asked on its own, before the race question, on most U.S. forms - Race - Protected veteran status - The VEVRAA question. It is not the same as "Are you a veteran?", which Callings leaves to you - Disability - How you would like voluntary disability self-identification questions answered - Sexual orientation - Not part of government reporting; some employers ask it as voluntary diversity data
Each question is a block. Pick an answer from its list or type your own. The switch under the answer says what happens on a form: Fill for me answers it for you, Ask me leaves it to you, and No answer means nothing is stored for that question.
These answers are used for one thing only: completing voluntary self-identification questions on forms you apply through. They are never used for job matching, recommendations or fit scores, never shown to anyone at Callings, and never added to the application records Callings keeps. Nothing here is ever guessed from your resume, and leaving an answer blank never stops an application. In the Clear your answers block at the end, Clear all deletes every stored answer after you confirm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is there a Save button?
A: No. Each field saves when you leave it, or as soon as you pick from a list, and the line above the section's blocks says All changes saved. Moving to another section or page saves anything you were still typing.
Q: How do I change my account email?
A: Click Change email in the Account email block. Enter your new email and your current password, then click Send verification email. Click the link sent to the new address within 1 hour; the change then takes effect and you sign in again with the new email.
Q: What is the difference between my account email and my contact email?
A: Your account email is what you sign in with and where Callings sends you account, security and billing messages; it is never shown to other members. Your contact email is what other people see when Callings connects you (introductions, referral replies, your Calling Card). If you do not set a contact email, your account email is used for those too.
Q: Will my daily and weekly job notifications go to my contact email?
A: No. Notifications, reminders and every other message Callings sends directly to you still arrive at your account email. The contact email only changes the address other people see.
Q: Why does my contact email say "Pending verification"?
A: We only use a contact email after you prove you own it. Check that address's inbox for the confirmation link (it expires in 24 hours), or click Send the link again. Until you confirm, your account email is used.
Q: How do I change my contact email to a different address?
A: Click Remove contact email, then Add contact email with the new address. The new address needs to be verified before it is used.
Q: Why are there questions in Qualifications & screening I never typed here?
A: The Callings extension saves your answers to screening questions as you fill applications, and a few answers come from your resume (labelled From your resume). Edit any of them to make it your own, or delete the ones you do not want offered again.
Q: Does Callings fill in my work authorization for me?
A: No. Right-to-work and sponsorship questions are yours to answer. When a form asks about a country you listed under Countries you're authorized to work in, the extension offers your saved answer and you click to use it.
Q: Who can see my Voluntary EEO answers?
A: Nobody at Callings. They are stored privately and only used to complete the voluntary self-identification questions on forms you apply through. Clear them at any time with Clear all.
Q: What happens to documents I already generated if I update my information?
A: Documents you already generated keep the information that was current when you created them. Regenerate a document to include your updated details, or edit the contact details directly in an editable document such as a custom resume.
Q: Is my LinkedIn profile required?
A: No, LinkedIn is optional. Including it can strengthen your professional presence, and recruiters in many industries expect it.
Q: What scheduling tools are supported?
A: Any tool that gives you a public booking URL works: Calendly, Google Calendar appointment pages, Cal.com, SavvyCal, HubSpot Meetings, Doodle or any other service. Paste the full URL into the Scheduling link field.
Q: Where does my scheduling link appear?
A: In outreach emails (the Outreach Assistant and Recruiter Outreach), only when you tick Scheduling link in the email's Links menu: the email then gets a sentence inviting the reader to pick a time, just above the sign-off. Custom Outreach weaves it into messages that suggest a meeting or call.
Q: What if I don't have a scheduling link?
A: The field is optional. Without one, the AI still generates outreach messages, without a booking URL. You can add one later.
Q: Can I use a P.O. Box instead of a street address?
A: Yes, you can use any address format you prefer. Many job seekers list only city and state for privacy.
Q: What if I don't have a permanent address?
A: Use your current location or a reliable mailing address. City and state matter most, because they drive location-based job matching.
Q: Does Callings.ai verify my information?
A: No, we don't verify personal information, so check that it is accurate. Incorrect details can end up in your resumes and cover letters.
Q: Can I leave fields blank?
A: Yes, every field is optional. More complete information leads to better generated documents and fewer questions left for you on application forms.
Q: What image formats are supported for profile photos?
A: JPEG, PNG, GIF and WebP images under 12 MB. The crop editor lets you adjust the framing before saving.
Q: Why should I include my chest area in my profile photo?
A: Including your upper body gives the AI more visual context when generating personalized materials, so it can create more accurate and professional representations of you.
