chitufl··on Onecv.ai – customize your resume for each job application
My wife has been struggling to find a job so she’s been on the journey of applying for a while now. It is a soul wrecking journey. One of the biggest pain points is that while most of us have one resume, we always feel that we could stand a better chance if we customize even just a bit the resume for each application…. however this just adds more friction to an already painful process and just doesn’t scale.

I helped her build onecv.ai - a one page app where you enter your resume as is and the job description you want to apply for and after a couple of minutes you get back a new version of your resume tailored for the job application. It’s a good tool. If anyone is looking for a job and could use it or if you are willing to just try it out and share your feedback please use this invite code : 5051 and let me know what you think. I’ll try to keep it running with this invite for a while, but if costs go too high, I might have to stop the free access. It’s not magical but I think it helps. Looking forward to your candid feedback. Thank you

chitufl··on Resumes are bull. HireArt is better.
There is a joke in somewhere.. this reminds me of all those start-ups on a mission to kill email with some great alternative which asked you to register by entering your email. As for hireart ...Since I'm building a company in the same vertical, after the flashy title in techcrunch I went really quick and registered.. and guess what ??? You can't go beyond step one without uploading your frickin' resume !!! How can one have the statement that resumes are bullsh* and make it mandatory at step one to upload your resume... Really ??? .. http://i.imgur.com/IxDJ3sB.jpg?1
