Hey just a free idea if anyone want to build it, I think a web app that generated stylish resumes automatically from your LinkedIn profile would be great. It could make watermarked ones for free preview and then charge you a few bucks if you wanted to download a real one. I can't tell you how many times I've heard "Well, my resume's a bit out of date, but here's my linkedin.." Also, if you are LinkedIn, you could do this.

  Not stylish ones. You can generate a PDF resume off of your linked in profile, but really it's not very good.

    Just because someone has an idea before you doesn't mean your idea is not worth pursuing. Execution is sometimes more important than being big or first.

I am actually working on this exact idea, except I plan on making the entire thing free.

  I as well did this last year, at http://resumatic.net/ http://resumatic.net/ Unfortunately, I don't have the same talent for design.

I was a TechStars finalist last year and there was another finalist at our Vegas interviews who did exactly that. Can't recall the name, sorry.
