Can't resize my resume to 1 page. I also want to use my uploaded resume to tailor it and match all the keywords, but the system only extract the job experiences from my profiles
If you're seeing a message that the resume can’t be resized to fit one page, it usually means there’s too much content for the system to automatically condense. Here are a few ways you can tighten it up:
Refine section by section: Instead of trying to cut everything at once, go into each section (Work Experience, Education, etc.) and trim where possible.
Use Display Options: You can hide less relevant entries entirely without deleting them — great for roles that don’t require every detail.
Leverage AI Settings: When using "Rewrite with AI Suggestions", you can guide the AI by entering a prompt like “Consolidate to 2 sentences” or “Keep this concise and relevant for a [Job Title] role” in the AI Settings. That’ll help streamline each entry while still keeping key info.
As for tailoring — the builder pulls from your Simplify profile, not directly from uploaded resumes. If you want to use an uploaded resume as a starting point, re-upload it here to have it parsed into your profile: https://simplify.jobs/onboarding#onboarding-roles
Let me know if you'd like help getting the most out of those tools — happy to point you in the right direction.
