Show HN: I Built an AI Tool That Turns Your Resume into a Job Magnet in Seconds

10 points by yregmi 2y ago

Here’s what it does: Customizes resumes in seconds based on job descriptions. Optimizes for ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) to ensure resumes actually get seen. Simplifies the entire application process, saving me hours of work. Returns a pdf of the updated resume I made with latex and is keyword rich and no fluff.

Seems to be a commercial offering? "50% discount if you sign up in next [24 hour countdown clock ticking]."

  Yes, the goal is to make career-building tools accessible. When I was job searching all the tools were charging an atrocious one time fee or $10 per week for chatgpt answers. The 50% discount is a limited-time offer to help as many people as possible get their resumes optimized affordably . Let me know if you have any questions!

Sleazy to use Swift in the domain name and use the popularity of the programming language. I assume it's not a coincidence?

  Good question! Actually I chose the name because it reflects what the tool does, I was thinking resumefa.st or fastresume.ai but they didn't click. The similarity with the language is purely coincidental, but I do see how that might raise some eyebrows. Thank you for bringing that up.

  That's a ridiculous accusation. Swift is not an uncommon adjective.

I don’t understand how AI is supposed to be a mind reader… most of any CV is supposed to be examples of how you excelled in each position, to demonstrate your worth. Or am I supposed to come up with 10 pages of this for each prior position, so the AI can pick and choose?

  Good question - My tool isn't mind reader but it helps tailor your resume by highlighting the most relevant achievements based on the job description you provide. You only need to provide your core resume, and the AI refines it by selecting and emphasizing the experiences and keywords that align best with the role. There is an assumption that the core resume does have valid experiences, using this we can create a tailored and targeted resume for any job listing.
