This is really cool! I've been toying with trying to make this as well. What are you using for parsing PDF's? I've found most libs are pretty bad at extracting content well from PDFs. If anyone else has any recommendations would be much appreciated!

#13Maybe just my CV but none truly fit
Honestly I've found that with my resume as well. Like others are saying, there truly is no perfect job. That said, perhaps you could try searching previous months and see if anything good comes up that way?

#14You need a privacy policy!
I'll second this.
I would like to give this a try (been job hunting for the past 6 months), but I'm also a bit paranoid in sharing a lot of data, especially with a service that has no privacy policy.

Very fair point! Not to put the onus on you but do you happen to have any pointers on where I can get started?
As it stands, I am using google analytics, and also storing the resume text (though not the document), and the embedding of the text. I hope at the very least that provides some transparency.

I am using a tool called pdftotext (https://www.xpdfreader.com/pdftotext-man.html) here. I have used it in a previous project with great success when other tools would bug out or return a bunch of weird junk text. Give it a try!

#17Very cool, but it actually works better if I just use the CV field as a search field and type what I'm interested in working on.

#18I 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
This, and it kind of bothers me that that is my first thought on the internet these days. I get enough unsolicited mail/phone calls from recruiters as it is.

#19That 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…
Is this not a matter of training? once you know career moves on resumes and how experience can provide the next jump in role it'll then isolate those roles for you. same for cross industry successful moves. I'm sure this is how LinkedIn does this although it's never perfect.
recent advances would allow a platform to conversationally review your CV and probe you're desires to help with recommendations. super interesting space.

I appreciate the well wishes, your suspicion completely understandable (and frankly warranted). Others in this thread have suggested a Privacy Policy, looks like that's the next thing on my todo list. But as it stands, the resume text is stored, while the document itself is not. This is so I can cache resume embeddings to try and keep my OpenAI API costs to a minimum.
