Resume Upload Fails with 405 Error

Author: nmktadCreated Jun 30, 2025Updated Sep 12, 2025

Problem Summary

When I try to upload my resume as a PDF, the upload consistently fails. The browser console shows a 405 Method Not Allowed error, which isn't allowing me to submit my resume.

Steps to Reproduce

Go to the resume submission page: https://app.techinterviewhandbook.org/resumes/submit

  • Fill in the "Upload Resume" form on the page.
  • Click the "Upload File" or "Browse" button.
  • Choose a PDF file from my computer.
  • Click the "Submit" or "Upload" button.

Expected Behavior

My resume file should upload successfully, and I should see a confirmation message or be taken to a success page.

Actual Behavior

After clicking "Submit," the page briefly tries to process the upload and a loading state occurs and hangs in that state indefinitely. Then, an error appears in the browser console. No file is uploaded, and there's no error message visible on the webpage itself. The console clearly shows a 405 Method Not Allowed error for the upload request.
