Ask HN: Review my startup mojoLive (CV/Career Management)

6 points by jqueryin 14y ago

We're looking to change how you go about managing and maintaining your professional CV. One of our goals is to encourage you to keep your CV up to date so you (and everyone else) won't forget how awesome you are. Now that we've built out the profile management functionality, we're looking to build a recommendation/suggestions engine to help point you in the right direction in terms of career moves. This could be anything from attending specific conferences and meetups, reading certain books, learning new skills, all the way to leaving your current employer. http://mojolive.com/profile/corey

Direct link to my example profile: http://mojolive.com/profile/corey http://mojolive.com/profile/corey Direct link to the homepage: http://mojolive.com http://mojolive.com Direct link to an early beta invite so you can skip the private beta waiting line a bit quicker, courtesy of myself: http://mojolive.com/invite/corey http://mojolive.com/invite/corey So, what do you think? Any and all feedback is welcome. If you see anything glaring, please consider filing it on GetSatisfaction :D

I like the design. On the sample profile, I like the timeline tab. Your landing page seems a little confusing to me. Your tagline says "If life is a game, then level up..". ok so the product lets you create a profile and earn caps/points to represent career progression? Worth a shot but not sure how useful mixing the 2 will be. Just my 2 cents.

  Thanks :) I'd say the caps are both a representation of your progession as well as a motivator; encouraging you to keep your profile up to date with new information. I'd love it if we could get people to remove the somewhat taboo nature of frequently updated their public CVs even when they aren't looking for a change in scenery. While caps/points aren't necessarily the answer to that, I believe that providing suggestions for personal growth and improvement would be strong motivators.

I love the design. Whichever framework you are using I suggest a cleaner URL for user profiles. For example for me I would like to have www.mojolive/frantzdyromain
