I was like one of you folks once, trying to think how to write a resume before I started working as a full-stack dev at a place I love. Over the years I have obsessed about how to make it easy for every one to build their resume. Using some AI magic, I ended up creating a site (a side project) that allows you to create a resume for free. Here’s the link: https://thisresumedoesnotexist.com/
I've used https://github.com/minimaxir/textgenrnn/tree/master/textgenrnn to generate the text by feeding it data scraped from various resources. My script runs in a "while true" loop and generates a new resume every 3-4 seconds. Resume is then saved to S3 and the same resume is loaded via CloudFront for all users.
I plan to make it more and more awesome, like you add your name and designation and it fills up your resume. But, I thought it would be nice to get a feedback from you folks and see if I can add the to my to-do for the side project.
I’d the following thoughts on why I started working on it:
- I knew a guy who got a job at Google, who previously couldn’t get a job at an IT agency just cause his resume wasn’t good enough
- Not all of us have the skills required to write creatively and organize it. That doesn’t mean you don’t qualify for a job
Things like these are weirdly still a hurdle for many (it is going to be 2020 next year!). I want them not to be a hurdle anymore :slightly_smiling_face:
So, pitchfork me if you hate what I built, but if you loved it or have any suggestions do share your thoughts with me. Appreciation will make my day, critique will help me shape it.
Thanks,
Alex
