HotSeat accepts supported PDF resumes within the displayed upload limit. Exporting or printing a difficult file as a fresh PDF can improve readability.

Yes. You can review and edit your profile fields instead of relying blindly on automatic extraction.
Is my resume public?
No. Your resume and profile belong to your account and do not appear on public pages.
