Data Transfer Guide

Huntr doesn't offer direct data export for resume content, requiring manual transfer. First, download your current resumes from Huntr as PDF or DOCX files. Open these files and copy all text content into a plain text document. For MyCVCreator import, you'll manually enter this information section by section. Create a new resume in MyCVCreator, then paste your copied content into appropriate sections. Use MyCVCreator's formatting tools to structure the information properly. For contact information and work history, copy directly from your Huntr profile. Save multiple versions if you had different resume variations in Huntr. This manual approach ensures proper ATS formatting in the new platform.
