Question / Potential feature request if it doesn’t exist
there used to be a free resume service called rhubarb that’d let you write a bunch of bullet points and swap them in and out of your resume depending on the job you’re applying to, so you’d essentially have one base resume that you could make variants of quickly and easily. their implementation let you click the “skills” section or the “work experience” section and a side bar would open up with your “bank” of all the skills or experience snippets you’d written and you’d simply click the plus or minus button to add or remove them for a specific “variant” of a resume you were working on.
this was insanely useful in tech jobs where you’d have experience with like 20 different pieces of tech but a specific job you’d apply to would only use 10 and you could only fit like 15ish on your resume so you’d swap them around depending on the specific job you’re applying to. do you guys have any feature like this where you support quickly making variations of a base resume to more custom tailor it to a singular position?
It’d also let you track the jobs you’ve applied to by uploading the Job description (just simple copy and pasting of the page into a rich text editor, no link scraping or formatting or anything) and it’d give you basically an “match” score on how good the specific variant of your resume aligns with the skill sets posted for that particular position’s job description. This part was probably just a simple python off-the-shelf machine learning script that does NTM or LDA or something, it wasn’t amazing, and with chatgpt integration already in your app, you could probably do something a lot better for a lot lower effort.
if these features don’t exist in your app, adding them i think would make your app the resume app, because in the current job market, it’s becoming more and more of the norm to shoot out dozens of resumes to land a single bite, and more and more, those resumes need to be custom tailored to the position especially in the age of chatgpt mass produced resumes. Even in tech, if you aren’t custom tailoring your resume for each application your prospects of getting a call back are greatly diminished.
So really this creates two problems your app could solve, easily customizing a “base” resume and keeping track of which job postings you’ve sent which resume to, both of these could be super overengineered, or just simple solutions, and both of these would make your app amazing if it doesn’t have either!
this looks great!
