Hey, the maker here. The custom GPT resume writer will convert your existing PDF or plain text content into an organized, well-formatted, rewritten, and ATS-optimized version of your resume. It really fulfills many parameters with its enhancements. It provides actionable recommendations and explains itself in detail. The enhanced resume, or CV if you're in Europe, can be used for work, job searches, and more. Most importantly, I'm trying to help people tailor their resumes to specific vacancies. You can share the link in a chat, or you can copy and paste the requirements from the new job position description, and the Resume Writer will produce a well-formatted, clean markdown resume optimized for that particular position. And, I guess, this is the main thing that happens in ChargeGPT (if you have access to ChatGPT Plus, unfortunately), the GPT itself comes for free. You can always take that enhanced resume out of the chat and do more with it using resume-building software-as-a-service tools. The Resume Writer GPT is powered by the latest GPT technology and simply does the job. Enjoy.

  How did it make it to read pdfs? I tried to create a tool that would extract tables from pdf and covert into CSV. https://chat.openai.com/g/g-e3jhasATL-pdf-ninja https://chat.openai.com/g/g-e3jhasATL-pdf-ninja but it fails. It works a bit better if I extract the string in python and do some clean up before sending import fitz # PyMuPDF pdf_document = fitz.open("foo.pdf") page_number = 1 page = pdf_document.load_page(page_number - 1) text = page.get_text("text") response = client.chat.completions.create( model="gpt-3.5-turbo", messages=[ { "role": "system", "content": f""" ..... {text} .... """

    It's done via the internal ChatGPT PDF parsing. The 'Code interpreter' feature is off, so the chat assistant is NOT writing any code. It simply follows the instructions given in the (quite voluminous) prompt .

While I appreciate the desire to show off your creation, a "Show NH" that requires people to sign up for a $20/month service isn't all that great from my perspective.

  I wonder what the percentage of HN users does not currently have a ChatGPT Plus subscription. Poll: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38303703 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38303703

    I don't have a ChatGPT Plus subscription but I do have access to the GPT API.

    Maybe some of them do not have ChatGPT account at all. Since you need to provide phone number.

      I "solved" the phone number problem by getting a one-month, one-time $15 anonymous (as much as a cell phone can be anyway) prepaid sim just for signup. It expired months ago while my (paid) GPT account continues to function happily. They don't use the phone for any kind of 2fa stuff. If they ever block my account, I'll just repeat the process.

  Thank you for pointing that out. I don't control OpenAI pricing, unfortunately. On a positive side, I believe it's a matter of time. In a couple of months it'll be cheaper or free for all.

How do you sustain this as being free? Uploading personal data to a site like this is always disconcerting for me -- especially when I can't see how they're making their money. I already have a GPT-Plus subscription, so that part isn't a barrier for me. Do you get money from that integration, or is it something else?
- kulesh 3y ago
  Thank you for asking. It's processed by OpenAI atm. No money from the integration. Resume writer GPT provides valuable advice and really cool features (e.g. tailored resumes), and the further fine-tuning can be done at https://resume.co https://resume.co – that one is the regular SaaS product.

  Is a resume "personal data"?, Honest question, I want to evaluate if I'm crazy, I've always treated my resume as a public advertisement of my abilities. There are copies of my resume floating around on linkedin, monster, my personal website, and probably a bunch of places I've forgotten.

The PDF reading seems to have issues. At first it says that it can’t read PDFs, but then after I encouraged it, it did try to read it, but said that it was unreadable due to formatting issues…

  Some PDFs are weird. Try simply cmd+a, cmd+c, cmd+v copy and paste its content into the GPT. Should do the trick.
