Mention a resume, portfolio or application in chat

Point Yara at a specific application, portfolio or resume so it answers from that item

Written by Abdullah Atif

You can point Yara at a specific job application, portfolio or resume in your message. Yara opens each item you include and answers from what is in it, so you do not have to paste details or explain which one you mean.

1. Open the mention menu

In the message box, type @ (or click +). A menu opens with your applications, resumes and portfolios. Use the tabs at the top, All, Applications, Resumes and Portfolios, to narrow the list.

  • Keep typing to search, for example @Linear to find an application at Linear.

  • Click an item to add it to your message as a colored chip. Type @ again to add another.

2. Mention an uploaded resume or a tailored copy

The resume you uploaded as a file, for example during sign-up, is in the @ menu too. It shows by its file name and is marked View only. Pick it and Yara attaches the file to your message.

Tailored copies are listed under the company they were made for, with their Library name underneath, for example Stripe over Resume for Stripe. You can also name one in words, for example "use Tailored for Mercury Technologies", and Yara finds it by its Library title.

3. Ask your question and send

You can include several items in one message, for example a portfolio, an application and your resume together. After them, type what you want to know or change, then send.

Some examples:

  • "What is my most recent title on this resume, and what does my portfolio headline say?"

  • "Tailor this resume for this application."

  • "Does my portfolio headline match the role I applied for?"

4. See what Yara used

Yara shows a step such as Read a file, opened the portfolio, and checked applications. Click it to see the details. Cards for the items it opened appear in the reply:

  • Click an application card to see the job, its status and your application kit.

  • Click a portfolio card to open it in the pane next to the chat.

Tips

  • Mentioning an item is the surest way to make Yara use the right version when you have several resumes or portfolios.

  • For resume edits, open your uploaded resume in Library and choose Convert to edit to make an editable copy first.

  • If an answer looks wrong, open the item from Library or Applications to check what it currently says, then ask again.
