After creating your account, Folio guides you through a five-step onboarding wizard. Completing all steps is required before you can apply to projects.

1

Step 1: Upload Resume / CV

Upload your most recent resume or CV in PDF format (max 2MB).

Why this matters: Folio automatically parses your CV to pre-fill your name, location, education, work experience, and skills. This saves time and reduces manual data entry.

• Accepted format: PDF only, 2MB maximum

• If you do not have a resume, check "I don't have a resume" to skip this step and enter your details manually

Step 2: Personal Information

Required fields:

• First Name
