Getting Started

How do I get started with TrailScout?

The fastest path is to add at least one career source, then let TrailScout build your Career Profile from it.

Start by adding a career source. This can be an existing resume file, a paste of your LinkedIn experience, career notes, or your public Trailblazer profile URL. You do not need a polished resume to begin.

Once you have added a source, TrailScout analyzes it and builds your Career Profile: a private layer of verified career evidence that powers every resume version, interview prep session, and learning recommendation.

After your Career Profile has some evidence, you can generate a master resume. From there you can create targeted versions for specific roles or a general handout for networking.

If you are not ready to work on a resume at all, you can also start in the Learning Hub or use Interview Prep to practice for a role you are eyeing.

The onboarding flow will guide you through each step, but there is no wrong place to begin.
