I've had similar issues - so much so that I've created Resgen[0] just because it was tough getting call backs. It turns out I really needed to tailor my resume to each job and it resulted in a lot more call backs.

i've bookmarked ResGen in case i ever become desperate / crazy enough to rejoin the working class. But may I just say sir, I LOVE your lightweight pixel inspired web page -- so clean! We need more sites like this, well organized and thoughtful without the clutter

Hey thanks!

Pixel inspired? I think it looks like a Lichtenstein painting. Neat.

Wow, that design is modern but brings me back to the days of application skin sites and early digital art communities back in the early 00s. Great job. I'm going to sign up.

It's like gumroad.com (the design I mean)

I definitely had a lot of inspiration from gumroad - love their design too.

Thanks! Let me know what you think when you try it out.

To be fair this Mondrian style is a web design trend right now.

I like the idea of ResGen. But I think you should consider changing your pricing.

10 free resumes per month seems too generous. Also, $7 is very low for a paid plan, when your users are likely to churn as soon as they find a job. If this tool is really as valuable for job hunters as it aims to be, they should gladly pay three times that amount.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll experiment with it - currently still early stages and feeling out what people are comfortable with.

This site is amazing. Finally something with a clean design, no fluff and it's fast.

Gotta love Sveltekit SSR for snappy response

Similar to what we're building at rezi. https://www.rezi.ai/

Nice! I've used Rezi a couple of times.

Great project but I don't have LinkedIn. I've previously used ChatGPT to do something similar. Wrote a text about myself, copy-pasted the job description and then asked it to generate resume bullet points. It worked well. Maybe your site can do something similar? Instead of requiring a LinkedIn job posting, users can copy/paste a job description.

I plan to have support for other job boards (greenhouse, ashby, indeed, etc.) soon.
