Uploading and Managing Resumes
Last updated: March 2026
The NATA Career Center allows you to store multiple resume versions so you can tailor your application to different types of positions. This guide covers how to upload, label, and manage your resumes, as well as best practices for formatting.
Navigate to the Resume section
After signing in, click "My Profile" from the user menu, then select the "Resumes" tab on your profile page.
Upload a new resume
Click "Upload Resume." You can drag and drop a file or click to browse. Accepted formats are PDF and DOCX. PDF is recommended because it preserves formatting across all devices and operating systems.
Give your resume a clear label
Name each resume so you can easily identify it later (e.g., "Clinical AT Resume," "Sports Performance Resume," "Per Diem Short Version"). A clear label helps you pick the right version when applying.
Set a default resume
Choose which resume will be auto-attached when you apply for a position. You can always override this on a per-application basis. Click the star icon next to any resume to mark it as default.
Replace or delete an old resume
To replace a resume with an updated version, click the three-dot menu next to the file and select "Replace." To remove an old resume entirely, select "Delete." Employers who already received a copy will still have that version.
Pro Tip
Keep your resume under 2 pages and save it as a PDF with a professional file name such as "Jane_Smith_AT_Resume.pdf." Avoid file names with spaces or special characters, which can cause display issues on some systems.
