Description

WP Resume Manager allows users to create more than one resume (if selected in settings). This is a nice feature, however it also displays all published resumes by the author in the search results.

This can be confusing for employers and potentially damaging to candidates, since employers can easily see multiple versions of a candidate's resume (some of which may be inappropriate for the potential employer / job opportunity).

There should be a setting whereby search results are limited to the most recently updated resume, or a setting where the user must select the resume they want to appear in search results at that time. This setting could be updated accordingly by the candidate at any time from their dashboard.

Research direction

Review the existing resume search behavior, the settings that allow multiple resumes, and the candidate dashboard flow. Define whether search should use the latest updated resume or a candidate-selected resume, then verify that only the intended published resume appears in employer search results and that the choice can be changed from the dashboard.
