Create your account and sign in
Sign up by email or with Google, click the verification link, then get back in later and reset your password when you have forgotten it.
A FirstResume account takes an email address or a Google account, and a verification link you have to click before the app opens. Signing in afterwards and resetting a lost password both start from the same screen.
Sign up with an email address
Open https://app.firstresume.ai and go to Create an account.
- Press Sign up with Email.
- Fill in "First name" and "Last name". Letters, spaces and apostrophes only.
- Type your address into "Enter your email".
- Type a password of 8 to 64 characters into "Create a password (min 8 characters)" and repeat it in "Confirm password". The eye icon shows what you typed.
- Press Sign Up and look for "Account created successfully".
"Email already registered, please login to continue" means the address is taken, by you, most likely. Sign in instead. "Too many attempts from your network. Try again in N minutes" caps sign-ups from your connection, so wait the minutes shown or take the Google route.
Sign up with Google skips the form. Pick your account in the popup and you are in, under the message "Logged in successfully" even though you signed up.
Verify your email address
FirstResume emails you a verification link. Until you click it the app shows one screen, Verify your email address, and nothing behind it opens.
Open the email and click the link. If it has not arrived, check your spam folder, then press Resend email on that screen. Signed up with the wrong address? Sign out sits at the top right, and you can start again with the right one.
Once you are verified you land on New Application on a computer, or Jobs on a phone, and onboarding starts. Carry on with Build your profile from your CV.
Sign in later
Go to https://app.firstresume.ai and look for Welcome back!. Fill in "Enter your email" and "Enter your password" and press Sign In, or press Continue with Google and pick your account in the popup. "Logged in successfully" means you are through.
"Invalid email or password" is the one you will see most. An account created with Google has no password to get wrong, so press Continue with Google instead of guessing at one.
To sign out, open the account menu at the bottom of the sidebar and press Sign Out.
Reset a forgotten password
- Press Forgot password?, on the right above the Sign In button.
- Type your address into "Enter your email" and press Send Reset Link. The form gives way to Check your email, naming the address the link went to. Look in your spam folder if it does not arrive.
- Click the link in the email. Create new password opens.
- Fill in "New password (min 8 characters)" and "Confirm new password", then press Reset Password.
- Sign in again with the new one.
"No account found with that email." means no account uses that address. Check the spelling, then try Google, then any other address you might have signed up with. "Too many reset requests. Try again in N minutes." follows several links in a row, so wait the time shown and ask once more. "This reset link is invalid or has expired." means the link is old or already used; go back to Forgot password? for a fresh one.
