Ask HN: What are the best tools for job search?
Do you know tools to make the life easier when looking for a job?
Do you think that AI resume or cover letter tools are helpful?
Thanks!
- runjake 3y agoBuilding a network of people, preferably over a wider geographic area and nurturing those relations. These people could be a mix of people you know in person or on social media, particularly on Twitter, LinkedIn and perhaps GitHub. You typically meet these people via events (conferences, hiking, kickball, running, etc) and shared interests.

- squeegee_scream 3y agoI've used chatgpt to improve both my resume and cover letter. It takes a decent amount of finesse to dial it in but it's very much worth the time and effort. That's about it for me. I monitor about 10 different job sites, along with several other subreddits, slack teams, and discord servers
- rrmdp 3y agoDo you have a tool to monitor the jobs sites? What sites are those?
- 4hEn 3y agoI wrote one. It's in my comments feed.
- squeegee_scream 3y agoNo tool to monitor, I just setup email notifications for each job site so I get emails regularly
- Ilasky 3y agoI’ve actually built Resgen[0] to help tailor resumes to job descriptions. It’s been a boon for my own job search, getting me a lot more call backs. I plan to build it out to a whole personal recruiter that sources and applies to jobs for me. As for sites, LinkedIn and Otta are the two that I’ve had the most results from.

- mr_o47 3y agoThis sounds like a really useful tool I’ll definitely give it a try
- highhedgehog 3y agoSeems very cool! Might give it a try
- cultofthecow 3y agoHands down LinkedIn is the single one. Other than that - I haven't found anything useful among myriads of cv-ai-smart-ml-web3-bla-bla tools that are all over the internet these days. I might only use Grammarly and ChatGPT for more or less adequate outreach.
