Hey Product Hunt! πŸ‘‹ I had built the first version of hipCV 8 years ago. It kept running on auto-pilot, providing value to the people, even though it didn't receive the love it deserved. 😞 It had started to look dated and wasn't something I would use myself. I had a choice, either to let it rot or bring it back to life. Well, long story short, I decided to give it another go and get it to a level where I would be happy to use it myself. So after many many nights and weekends of hacking, I give to you the new and shiny hipCV. πŸ™ Highlights: 🌟 20 resume templates: carefully designed, with emphasis on readability, templates that you would actually want to use πŸš… Super easy to try: no credit card needed to give it a go ⚑ Phrase suggestions: not sure what to write? It has pre-written phrases that will help you get a head start πŸ“Š Analytics: not sure if the hiring manager has seen your resume? Share a link of your web resume and it will track visits 🌐 Download a print-friendly PDF or share the link of your resume πŸ“· Profile images: for jobs/countries where they are required πŸ’… Customize templates: change colors Give it a go and let me know what you think! I would love to hear your feedback. πŸ™

@websymphony Well done, really hard to bring a project up to modern standards after so long, this looks great. I was a CV advisor at my university when studying for my PhD and having seen hundreds and worked with students to improve them I can say layout and white space is the number one thing that improves a CV initially and you have solved this really well

HipCV is a super quick way to build a resumΓ© that looks great and clearly highlights all important info to the employer. I have previously struggled with terrible Word templates when putting together resumΓ©s, no more of that now! Well done amit! πŸ‘ŒπŸ˜

I think the most important is matching your skills to the position and formulating your achievements at work. Template is useful but it’s still on candidate to come up with the copy
amit
@lisadziuba Thanks for checking it out Lisa. It has two options to help out with the copy, use pre-written phrases or start from an existing example. I do need to add lot more examples for different positions and experience levels to be even more useful for folks with different backgrounds. πŸ™
