Getting started

Create your account, bring in a CV if you have one, and learn what to check first so your career record is ready to use.

By the end of this guide you will have a working account and know whether to start in Nexus (review an import) or Studio (your first CV). Allow about 10–15 minutes if you import a CV and review the results.

Prerequisites

  • A valid email address you can access for registration and password reset.
  • Optional: a recent CV in PDF, DOC, or DOCX format (up to 10 MB).

Step 1: Create your account

  1. On the Alynd public site, choose Get started.
  2. Enter your name, email address, and password.
  3. Confirm the password (must match; at least eight characters).
  4. Submit the form.

After registration, Alynd opens the CV import step. You can upload a file now or skip to Nexus.

  1. Upload a PDF, DOC, or DOCX file (up to 10 MB).
  2. Wait for processing to finish.
  3. Review the import summary, then continue into your career portfolio.

Alynd extracts roles, companies, dates, skills, education, certifications, achievements, and profile details where it can. Treat the result as a draft: some fields may be incomplete or marked for review.

Verify: Open Nexus → Work experience and confirm at least your most recent role has a sensible title, company, and start date.

Step 2 (alternative): Skip import

  1. Choose to skip the CV upload.
  2. Alynd opens an empty Nexus workspace.

Recommended manual order:

  1. Profile — name, title, contact, summary, location, links, currency.
  2. Work experience — your most recent role with responsibilities and skills.
  3. Education and professional records when they matter for your target roles.

You do not need a complete Nexus record before creating a first Studio CV.

Step 3: Sign in on return visits

  1. Choose Log in from the public site or registration footer.
  2. Enter your email and password.
  3. On success, Alynd opens the Dashboard.

Forgot password: On the sign-in form, choose Forgot password, enter your email, and follow the reset link in your inbox.

Step 4: Decide what to do after first sign-in

If you imported a CV

Open Nexus and review each imported work record. Check:

Job titles and companiesAppear on every future CV
ResponsibilitiesGeneric lines weaken Studio and Lyra output
Skills and labelsPowers Dashboard analytics and tailoring
Needs review markersImported content you should verify before relying on it
Education vs professional placementWrong section makes CVs look inconsistent

If you skipped import

Add enough Nexus detail for one target application, then open Studio and create your first CV.
