Creating Your First Deck

Step 1: Open the Create Deck Modal

From your dashboard, click the "New Deck" button. This will open a modal where you can configure your new deck.

Step 2: Enter Company Information

Fill in the "Target Company" field with the name of the company you're applying to (e.g., "Vercel", "Google", "Microsoft").

This information will be used to generate a company-specific deck URL and helps personalize your application.

Step 3: Enter Position Title

Enter the exact position title you're applying for (e.g., "Senior Software Engineer", "Product Manager", "Marketing Director").

This helps create a unique URL for this specific application: yourname.roledeck.io/t/company/position

Step 4: Upload Your Resume

Upload a PDF version of your resume. The file must be:

• In PDF format (.pdf)
• Less than 10MB in size
• Your most up-to-date resume

RoleDeck will automatically extract text from your resume and use it to populate your deck. You can also use this resume for future decks or upload a new one for each application.

Step 5: Add Job Description (Optional but Recommended)

Paste the full job description in the "Job Description" field. This helps RoleDeck:

• Structure the job requirements for reference
• Generate a better-tailored cover letter (if you don't provide one)
• Help you align your experience with the role

Step 6: Write Your Cover Letter (Optional)

You can either:

• Write a custom cover letter in the "Tailored Cover Letter" field
• Leave it empty and RoleDeck will generate one based on your resume and the job description

You can always edit your cover letter later from the deck editor.

Step 7: Create Your Deck

Click the "Create Deck" button. RoleDeck will:

• Parse your resume PDF
• Extract and structure your information
• Generate your personalized deck
• Create a unique URL for sharing
• Generate a tracking email address

This process usually takes just a few seconds.
