They make you pay for that? Interesting, there’s a market for everything.

I totally agree the product isn't for everyone. I have a number of friends who regularly source a number of example lines from LinkedIn and their friends when they want to update their resume. Some people will continue to do just that while some people would prefer to pay for the convenience of all lines being shown to the user in one place. Thanks for the feedback!

Same here, I am always retooling my profile. There is definitly a market for that but it might be a less for a tech oriented crowd. You could also think about a similar project about job titles and the demands / qulifications that similar companies listed in the past for that, i.e. if I want to become the CIO of a mid-size manufacturing firm, what qualifications did similar firms request in the past and how were they wording it. I would encourage you to be more creative with your pricing because currently I would not be subscribing. Something like a high one time fee (for those that have some sort of urgency ($29 for 1 month)) and a really low per month fee ($2.45 per month for 12 month).

Thanks for the feedback! The pricing is something a lot of people have asked about so I will review it in the coming month.

I think this service combined with a review services would be an even greater market. I've not had much luck with professional reviewers, though I've admittedly not used anyone local or expensive. I usually get vague feedback from online reviewers with basic hints (like, "You need to use less action words and more accomplishment words") so a service like this would give me the ideas the reviewer didn't. I've already found a couple of ideas in the free section.

Hey thanks for the feedback! Glad you found some ideas in the free section. I think a complete resume review is a natural next step for the product - we have people in our network who are willing to do complete resume reviews.
