Show HN: My Personal Resume Improver (aycabtu.com)
2 points by Appesteijn on March 16, 2025 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
While looking for a job (mainly through LinkedIn) I encountered the thing called ATS (Application Tracking System) that made my resume land up on the pile of other resumes and never to be seen again. Because I also wanted to build a product again, I started with Aycabtu.com to make it easy to optimize my resume for a job vacancy.

My goal was to keep my own tone of voice and have a nice pdf as output that I could send without a lot of modifying or hassle. Most recently I also added a Motivation Letter generator and a Interview Tip & Tricks section. I use Rails 8 and Anthropic.

Although I don't have a new job yet :) I do have the feeling I'm getting more job interviews and compliments on my resume. (Of course this could also be the Ikea effect)

You do need to sign up with your e-mail and a name but then you can use it immediately. I'm using a credit system now, so all new accounts can generate up to 3 resumes/motivation letter/interview tips (or until my credit at Anthropic is depleted :) )

I know there are already a gazillion other resume generators/improvers. But I would still like your input on how to improve, thanks!



After some user feedback I changed the flow in my app. Now it is possible to directly generate an Optimized resume, a Motivation letter or Interview tips. All of these can be edited and exported to a pdf. I do struggle with the UI, I have the feeling it is not simple enough. Any tips would be more than welcome!
