Show HN: A website that tailors your resume for each job you apply
for
Hey HN, I'm excited to share a project I've been working on for
the past few months. As someone who has spent countless hours
tweaking my resume for different job applications, I wanted to find
a way to make this process more efficient and effective. So, I
built a website that tailors your resume for each job you apply
for. You can check it out here: https://resume.ink Looking
forward to your thoughts! Cheers, Sami

| I think Resume.Ink is different because it generates a new PDF
| resume tailored specifically to the job you're applying to.
| While JSON Resume generates a cover letter. I think they
| actually complement each other quite well.

| questions - It would be great if the homepage

| - There was a bug in my upload (Thomas Davis pdf if you are
| looking at the database). It hallucinated a whole job I've
| never had into my finished resume.

| Thanks for the feedback: 1. You're right, the UX can use
| some improvements there 2. I've just updated the landing
| page with a before/after example 3. Ooh, that's not good,
| thanks for reporting this, I'll look into it asap

| a GPT replies ['music', 'gardening', 'racing',
| 'competitive driving'], you don't want additive synonyms.
| And then more complicated is deletions, if it replies,

| it in the response so should I just merge the old and new
| array.

| strategies) in the near future.
