elite.com/yourname)Pro Tip: Your career intent helps the AI agent provide better context to visitors about what opportunities you're seeking.
Elite offers three ways to build your timeline:
Interview Mode uses AI to guide you through building your profile conversationally.
How to Use Interview Mode:
What Interview Mode Asks About: - Job titles and companies - Start and end dates - Key responsibilities and achievements - Technologies and skills used - Notable projects or accomplishments
Tips for Interview Mode: - Be conversational - write as you would speak - Include specific details (metrics, technologies, outcomes) - Don't worry about formatting - the AI handles that - You can always edit events later - Take breaks - your session is saved automatically
Example Conversation:
AI: What was your most recent role?
You: I was a Senior Software Engineer at TechCorp from 2021 to 2023.
AI: Great! What were your primary responsibilities at TechCorp?
You: I led the development of their mobile payment system, which processed
over $50M in transactions. I worked primarily with React Native, Node.js,
and PostgreSQL.
AI: Excellent! I've created a timeline event for your role at TechCorp...
Upload your existing resume and Elite will automatically extract your work history.
How to Upload Your Resume:
Resume Upload Requirements: - File Format: PDF only - File Size: Maximum 10MB - Content: Standard resume format with work experience section - Language: English
What Gets Extracted: - Company names and roles - Employment dates (start and end) - Job responsibilities and achievements - Skills and technologies mentioned
After Upload: - Review each extracted event for accuracy - Add any missing context or details - Delete any incorrectly extracted information - Events are created as "Link Only" by default (you can change this)
Pro Tip: For best results, use a well-structured resume with clear sections for work experience, education, and skills.
Add timeline events directly with full control over every detail.
How to Add Manual Events:
When to Use Manual Entry: - Adding events not in your resume - Creating custom timeline entries (side projects, volunteer work) - Adding events with specific formatting needs - Correcting information from Interview Mode or Resume Upload
Your timeline displays all events chronologically, with the most recent at the top.
Timeline Display: - Each event shows organization, role, dates, and description - Visual indicators show event visibility (public, link-only, private) - Evidence links appear as clickable icons - Current roles are marked with "Present"
Pro Tip: Regularly update your timeline with new achievements and projects to keep your profile current.
Warning: Deleted events cannot be recovered. Consider changing visibility to "Private" instead if you might want the information later.
Evidence links are URLs that support your claims and achievements.
Examples of Good Evidence Links: - GitHub repositories you contributed to - Published articles or blog posts - Product launches or press releases - Project case studies - Patents or certifications - Conference talks or presentations
How to Add Evidence: 1. Edit the timeline event 2. Scroll to "Evidence Links" section 3. Click "Add Link" 4. Enter URL and optional description 5. Save the event
Pro Tip: Evidence links significantly increase credibility and give visitors concrete examples of your work.
Events are automatically sorted chronologically. You cannot manually reorder them.
Best Practices: - Use accurate dates for proper ordering - Break long tenures into multiple events if you had different roles - Use consistent naming (e.g., always "Google" not sometimes "Google Inc.")
Elite gives you granular control over what information is visible and to whom.
Each timeline event can have one of three visibility levels:
When Creating Events: - Select visibility level in the event creation form - Default is "Link Only" for balance of privacy and sharing
Changing Visibility: 1. Edit the event 2. Change the "Visibility" dropdown 3. Save changes
By default, your profile is unpublished - only you can see it.
To Publish Your Profile: 1. Go to your profile settings 2. Toggle "Published" to ON 3. Your profile is now accessible via your unique URL
To Unpublish Your Profile: 1. Go to your profile settings 2. Toggle "Published" to OFF 3. Your profile link will show "Profile not found" to visitors
Note: Unpublishing hides your entire profile. Individual event visibility controls what published profiles show.
Your profile URL is: https://elite.com/{your-username}
To Share Your Profile: 1. Copy your profile URL from the address bar 2. Or use the "Share" button on your profile page 3. Send the link via email, LinkedIn, job applications, etc.
Pro Tip: Add your Elite profile link to your email signature, LinkedIn profile, and resume.
When someone visits your profile, they see:
Contact links
Timeline View
Evidence links for each event
Discovery Mode Chat
What You Can Control: - Which events visitors see (via visibility settings) - What information appears in events (via editing) - Whether Discovery Mode is available (via profile settings) - Contact methods displayed (via contact links)
What You Cannot Control: - The order of events (always chronological) - The color scheme or layout (consistent across all profiles) - How the AI agent interprets your timeline (based on your content)
Discovery Mode lets visitors chat with an AI agent to explore your professional background conversationally.
Answer Questions About: - Your work history and roles - Specific technologies or skills - Projects and achievements - Career trajectory and interests - Industries you've worked in
Example Questions Visitors Might Ask: - "What experience does this person have with React?" - "Tell me about their leadership experience" - "What was their role at TechCorp?" - "Do they have experience in healthcare?" - "What are their career goals?"
What Visitors See: - The AI agent only references events with Public or Link Only visibility - Private events are never mentioned - Conversation logs are not shared with you (future feature planned)
What You Should Know: - You cannot see what questions visitors ask - The AI agent paraphrases information from your timeline - The agent will decline to answer questions it cannot answer from your profile
To Make Your Profile More Discovery-Friendly:
Example - Less Discovery-Friendly:
Responsible for backend systems.
Example - More Discovery-Friendly:
