I believe the big challenge for any job seeker is to get the interview in the first place. I'd love to see an app that could provide me with insights about my resume, and how it stands against the type of job I'm looking for.

Jobscan (https://www.jobscan.co/) might be helpful. It scores your resume based on a pasted job description.

Any plans on adding an ability to import job applications? I would love to switch to your product but unfortunately I already have a Google Sheets document with about 60+ applied companies and 50 rejected. If there were a way for me to at least import the company names that would make it easier to switch.

Wait.How does one give feedback to the interviewer? Thought even as the interviewee, getting post interview feedback is not your prerogative. Am I missing something here. Also someone posted this a while back essentially for the same purpose of tracking various interviews and feedbackshttps://jobhound.io

Would love to use this , but I’m sure this is one those many rushed applications with the startup mentality. Personal and Senstitive data is probably stored in a totally unencrypted manner and developers have unrestricted access to production. We’ve seen what happens in terms of security when you give something like Firebase to startups « developers »[0] Love the concept , but I Care more about privacy. [0] https://s…

Do you have evidence or are you just being unnecessarily unkind?

OP isn’t being unkind, it’s simply feedback. Not disrespect intended, but don’t be so sensitive:)

> Interview feedback - Give interview feedback to your interviewer and get feedback back.

I'd be very surprised (and impressed) if any interviewer gives honest feedback on the interview, in writing (via the app), esp. in cases where candidate was rejected / didn't receive an offer.

Cos that would have a discrimination lawsuit written all over it. HR and/or Recruiters also never gives candid feedback for the same reason. Because if they do, someone will eventually sue the company for discrimination.

Ex: The most common cookie cutter response for rejection based on ageism is "We really loved you, but unfortunate there wasn't a cultural fit."

I'm seeing more companies do this, actually. For example Dropbox gave me very specific and helpful rejection feedback. I'm sure they have guidelines in place to make sure they don't invite lawsuit. It was all strictly about my performance on specific questions. Also they tend to do it over the phone, again I assume to reduce chance of lawsuits.
