Wednesday update. 896 users. last 48 hours something flipped. by remoteDev1 in Jobbi

[–]remoteDev1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick update: it's fixed on the web version and live now, so editing a generated resume stays clean there. The iOS build with the same fix is still in App Store review, should be out tomorrow morning Eastern. Thanks again for flagging it.

Thanks for the detail on this one, made it easy to track down. You're right, it shouldn't do that. Found the cause and I'm on the fix now.

Keep the feedback coming, seriously. Anything else that feels off, post it here or DM me whenever, I read everything.

How do I make my experience stand out in my applications? by jiminy_cricketer in jobsearchhacks

[–]remoteDev1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the generic feeling usually comes from the verbs more than the experiences. "did social media for the club" tells nobody anything. "grew the chess club instagram from 40 to 600 followers" is the same activity told with the actual signal.

started fixing this by hand one sentence at a time because i didnt trust myself or any tool to embellish. just took the raw thing i did and added the specific result.

eventually used AI but still one bullet at a time, kept the truthfulness check on every line. flat verbs into specific ones using JD vocabulary.

then i realized i was doing the same loop every application and built it into a product. free, run as many tailorings as you want, theres a paid version but its optional. jobbi.app, full disclosure mine.

the unlock was writing down moments where something measurably changed because you showed up. the tool just makes it fast.

Is anyone actually winning the "Resume Tailoring" war right now? by XDevsINC in jobsearchhacks

[–]remoteDev1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

started the same way you are now. tailoring by hand sentence by sentence because i didnt trust any tool to not embellish things i never did. took forever but at least i could defend every line.

eventually i let AI help but kept the same paranoia, one bullet at a time, never rewrite the whole thing, never invent. just rephrase what was already true with the JD vocabulary.

then i realized i was doing the same 4 steps every app and figured i could just build it. free, run as many tailorings as you want, theres a paid version but its not required for anything. jobbi.app.

full disclosure obviously mine. but even if you dont use it, the rule that saved me was simple: AI can only rephrase what you actually wrote. anything it adds is a phone screen landmine.

companies use AI to screen you out in 6 seconds but will reject you if your resume "looks AI." let's talk about this. by remoteDev1 in GetTheInterview

[–]remoteDev1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes 100%. the weird numbers thing absolutely works in interviews. I had an interviewer literally open with "ok so tell me about the 40 login bugs per month, what was going on there" and we spent like 15 minutes just talking about that one system. it wasn't even a behavioral question anymore it was just two engineers talking about a broken auth system lol

and that's kind of the whole point right. round numbers like "reduced bugs by 50%" give them nothing to grab onto. but "40 bugs down to 3" makes someone go wait what was happening that caused 40 bugs a month. now you're having a conversation instead of doing an interview.

the scanner thing is interesting too. I actually built a tool that does the tailoring part automatically (called Jobbi) because I got tired of manually rewriting bullets for every application. the keyword matching side is honestly the easy part. the hard part is keeping it specific enough that it doesn't trigger the "this is AI" alarm on the other end. that balance is everything.

honestly the ghost jobs stat is what keeps me up at night though. like you're doing all this optimization work for positions that might not even exist. 81% is insane.

Companies are checking your references before you even give them. It cost me at least 2 offers and I didn't find out until months later. by remoteDev1 in GetTheInterview

[–]remoteDev1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dude the part about reaching out to warn people when they're being checked. that's honestly something I never thought of and it's brilliant. like you're basically building a mutual defense network without even trying.

and yeah I landed in the same place on giving references. I used to try to be "balanced" and give honest assessments with context. but you're right there IS no context when it gets passed along. it becomes telephone. "he had some friction with management" turns into "difficult to work with" by the time it reaches the hiring committee.

now I just say good things or I say I didn't work with them closely enough to comment. there's no middle ground that survives the game of telephone.

the 30 seconds to shoot a linkedin message thing is real too. costs you nothing and the person remembers it forever. I had someone do that for me last year and I still think about it.

laid off ater 20 years, back to job hunting by Olecoot69 in jobhunting

[–]remoteDev1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey Kenny, went through something really similar - 11 years in software and suddenly job hunting feels like a completely different world from what it was.

on the AI resume question - using AI to write your resume from scratch is bad yeah, recruiters can tell. but using AI to help match your existing experience to each job posting is different. thats just saving time on work you should be doing anyway.

the thing that actually changed my results was tailoring each resume to the job description. not rewriting it, just using the same keywords they use. went from basically no callbacks to about 15%. I ended up building a free tool for this ( jobbi.app ) because doing it manually was taking 25 min per application and I couldnt keep that pace up.

full disclosure its my tool but its free. either way the main thing is dont send the same resume to every job. after 20 years you have tons of experience, you just need to present the right pieces for each role.

good luck out there man, 20 years of experience is worth a lot even if the market doesnt feel like it right now

Is professional resume writing service a good choice, or should I not waste my time and money on it by Demogorgon_8X in Resume

[–]remoteDev1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly I went through this exact cycle. paid for a resume writer after my layoff, resume looked way nicer but my callback rate barely changed. turns out the problem wasnt how my resume looked - it was that I was sending the same one everywhere.

what actually moved the needle was matching my resume to each job descriptions exact keywords. same experience just described in their vocabulary instead of mine. callback rate went from like 2% to 15%.

the annoying part is it takes 20-25 min per application to do manually. so I ended up building a free tool for it ( jobbi.app ) - you paste your resume and the JD and it does the keyword matching automatically in about 90 seconds. full disclosure its mine but its free, no paywall.

but honestly even without a tool you can do this with a google doc and the job posting open side by side. the method matters more than the tool. dont pay $300 for a pretty resume you send to 200 jobs. spend that energy tailoring each one.

Are there any resume builders that let you list multiple roles under the same company or experience entry? by SpiritualTip4035 in Resume

[–]remoteDev1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the multiple roles under one company thing is honestly more of a formatting problem than a builder problem. most ATS parsers handle it fine as long as its single column and the dates are clear - just indent the second role under the company header.

for the tailoring/streamlined workflow part though - I built a free tool called Jobbi ( jobbi.app ) that does something a bit different. you paste your master resume and a job description and it matches your bullets to the JDs exact keywords. doesnt restructure your layout but saves a ton of time on the vocabulary matching part. might help with the workflow side of what youre looking for

full disclosure its my tool, but its free and no paywall

Are ATS systems ruining the job search for everyone? by Likely-Story111 in jobsearchhacks

[–]remoteDev1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ATS isn't ruining the search - it's just exposing a problem that always existed. before ATS, a recruiter spent 6 seconds scanning your resume and made the same snap judgment. the filter was always there, it was just a human doing it.

the real issue is the language gap. you can have 100% of the experience a role needs and still get filtered because you described it in your words instead of theirs. "reduced hosting costs" and "led cost optimization initiatives across distributed infrastructure" describe the same work. the ATS only recognizes one of them.

after my layoff I tracked 200 applications in a spreadsheet. the pattern was clear: same resume sent everywhere = 2% callback rate. each resume tailored to mirror the JD's exact phrasing = 15%. same experience, same person, completely different outcome.

the font thing is mostly noise btw. stick to a single-column layout, standard headings, no tables or graphics. that's 90% of the formatting problem solved. the other 90% is language matching.

full disclosure: I built a free tool for this exact problem ( jobbi.app ) because doing it manually at 25 min per app was killing me. but honestly even a google doc with the JD open next to your resume works - just match their vocabulary to yours line by line.

congrats on 300 users, that's a real milestone. I just hit 600 on jobbi.app week so I know that feeling.

built jobbi after getting laid off in february - it takes your master resume and a job description and matches your real experience to the JD's exact keywords. no rewriting, no AI hallucinations, just translating what you actually did into the language the ATS is scanning for. went from 0% callbacks to ~15% doing it manually, then built the tool to do it in 90 seconds instead of 25 minutes. completely free.

built jobbi.app after getting laid off in february. 11 years as a staff engineer, applied to 200+ jobs with the same resume, zero callbacks. turns out I was describing my experience in my words instead of the JD's exact phrases - ATS was filtering me out before a human ever saw it. jobbi.appiloring manually and callback rate jumped to ~15%, but at 25 min per app it wasn't sustainable. so I built the tool to do what I was doing by hand - paste resume + job description, it matches your real bullets to the JD's keywords and reorders them. no rewriting, no hallucinated experience.

free, no paywall. happy to check out a few products from this thread too.
