Earlier quoted context omitted.

This is a really good point. I've also moved upwards into jobs I don't technically meet the requirements in most of my roles. I wonder if an AI tool could generate a new resume based on your existing resume and the job spec for a role to find the best intersection of the two in order to increase your chances of getting an interview...

This is exactly what i have been working on for few weeks but not been able to get a good final results. I want to make sure that AI is not overselling my skills or completely deviating from my current experiences/skill set when trying to tailor resume for a job post.

Another challenge is to get the AI generated output to fit in a page and preserve original formatting

I don’t feel safe uploading a cv to an untrusted site. It doesn’t explain what happens with the cv on first glance after it’s uploaded. Good luck

Surely your CV is inherently public information, isn't it non-negative for you if it's shared or 'leaked'?

Surely your CV is inherently public information

Says who?

I find it actually quite strange to think of not only your own, but everyone else's professional (and implicitly: social, geographic) history as "inherently public" information.

A friend of mine and I explored a similar offering. We've mostly put it on a shelf as it was very duct taped together and we're both short on time. We don't have any monetization plan but would love to hear any feedback: https://divim.shovelshop.io

That sounds like a good idea, but I do wonder if it's a little too... safe? Every job I've ever taken, there were bullet points in the requirements that I didn't have. And every job has been in a different industry. (Granted, this is only 5 job hops in over 15 years) I'm not really sure I'd want to be perfectly qualified for a new job. Part of the fun is learning new stuff. Of course, I do understand that any job is…

This. And you're like most people.

Most job descriptions and requirements lists are describing the "dream candidate". Very few employers actually expect anyone to have every requirement in the list.

What I'd love to see is a view on the "who's hiring" where I can start by saything something like: * I live in Germany, and want to work remotely. Then it filters out all the onsite jobs as well as the remote US or remote UK only jobs. It should be smart enough to know that Germany is in Europe, so Europe or anywhere remote jobs should remain. Then I would like if it could extract some features and show them for the…

Does selecting the "Germany (remote)" filter here address your use case? https://www.trueup.io/jobs

Seems pretty accurate. Based on my (almost true) resume[1] the top result was:

  Man Group Alpha Tech | Quant Python Engineer | London, UK
[1] Resume:

  male
  sharpshooter
  can run 1 mile in under 6 minutes
  bench press 300 lbs
  IQ of 137
  7/10 attractiveness
  10% bodyfat

  :D
