1. Our's is a free extension with no login required. 2. It's not clear how these tools grab this data without some direct integration with LinkedIn or Violation of their terms 3. We use AI to craft resume language, Kick Resume is a copy/Paste 4. We provide a word doc you can download and edit yourself.

>Our's is a free extension with no login required. So, the people installing this extension are the product then?

There's a paid premium tier.

Why isn't there an XML or JSON format widely used for CVs? It would make sifting through CVs so much easier, plus it would make CVEO (CV engine optimization) a thing.

I have used this in the past, https://jsonresume.org and can vouch for it. Probably this is exactly what you mean

Looks interesting and could not have come at a more convenient time for me (.. unfortunetaly). I’ll give it a try. Thanks

Hopefully it at least provides a nice place to start from! And saves you time... If it comes out any decent, lmk and we'll give you some credits for the paid service. The UX around tailoring resumes isnt as intuitive. You can do some free tailoring on the home page as well, this ux is straight forward: cvgist.com

Tried to use the tool and it never worked (just no reaction after clicking on the "generate" button). Disabled the adblocker to see if it was the cause but with the same result. Getting a "'Save to PDF' button not found " error in console.

Not sure how to fix it. Thought you might like to know.

It looks like it taps into the LinkedIn pdf resume. Do you have the ability to download that on your profile? There is a button on everyone’s profile (usually) in the header section called “resources”

That might be related to me using a localized version (FR_CA) of LinkedIn because I do have this option in "resources".

OH! Localization... sorry we are reliant on english semantic mapping. OK, we will look for a solution.
