At first, I thought this was about generating a resume, as in creating a resume for the user. There is a niche demand for that where you can charge, maybe, $5 one time fee to create a user resume. There is no demand for "resume website". There is demand for jobs/employment. Your website doesn't offer that and if it were, things kind of function differently (employees apply for the jobs; aka a job board).
Why? Who would ever see my resume on your site? Either a recruiter is going to reach out to me and ask me to send my resume to them directly or submit it to their ATS. Anyone who finds me organically is going to be through LinkedIn.
* an XML file with all of my contact information, job history, skills, etc.
* a template/build system that can build PDF / html / MS word versions from that.
* the build system understands "profiles" and builds custom variations of the content for every profile.
For example, maybe I am looking for jobs in a few different locations / industries, my XML has phone numbers/addresses for, say, USA and Australia and Singapore, and I have some "business" jobs I leave off if I'm apply for a pure development role, and some low-level skills I'd leave off for a team lead role, etc.
In my case, it's just XML + XSLT + wkhtmltopdf + Make which does the job, but someone could do a much nicer job.
