Kickresume 3.0 - Build resumes. Blow minds. Get hired. Fast and easy

@__tosh Thanks for hunting us! It’s so good to be on Product Hunt again! Kickresume has sure come a long way since the last time we were here. The old Kickresume was great but it feels like it’s only now that it has finally matured and begins to resemble the vision we had for it years ago. This new version of Kickresume is built on thousands of feedback pieces from our customers. We implemented most of them and it made the result so much better. We also put together a fantastic team of HR experts, UX designers, typographers, writers, developers, and others, all of whom have poured their effort and expertise into the new Kickresume. What has changed? We’ve redesigned all landing pages, overhauled the typography and user experience, improved ATS compatibility, added new templates, colors, fonts, guides, and much, much more. We invite everybody to give it a try. If you used Kickresume years ago and you liked it, you’re going to love this new version too. If you hated it before, there’s a good chance you’ll like it now. You can’t be sure unless you try. In any case, everything we do is to help our customers get hired a bit faster and a bit more easily. The new Kickresume 3.0, as we call it, does just that. ** Log in via Product Hunt to get 15 days of free Kickresume Premium. **

Thank you @renato_marinelli! I can totally see your point there because that’s exactly what we thought back in the early days of Kickresume. Unfortunately, the pay-per-download model got very confusing very quickly. It took us months of trial and error to find out that the subscription based model is the easiest for our customers to understand. It works really well and most of our customers are happy with it because we wanted to make sure that our pricing is fair. But that’s not the only reason. Pretty much all HR experts agree that having just one generic resume is not enough. Ideally, you want to keep updating your resume as you continue your job search. Also, you want to tailor your resume to every job opening you’re applying for. It adds that little extra touch that often makes a difference between getting hired and never hearing back from them. In reality, you end up downloading your resume more times than you’d expect. Also, you don’t have to upgrade to a paid subscription if you don’t want to. Kickresume lets you create a perfectly good resume for free, too.

@renato_marinelli @tomas_ondrejka alrighty, that explains a lot. Many thanks

@martin_bloksa Oh boy, I don’t even know where to begin! We’ve just released our biggest redesign ever and almost everything about Kickresume is now more polished, more functional, easier to use, and generally better. Probably the biggest thing is the improved typography and completely redesigned templates. We also reworked the UI and UX, added live preview ( 拾 ), produced an enormous number of new guides, resume examples, improved security, and...Well, there’s a lot. If you want to know more, check out this handy article about our redesign: https://blog.kickresume.com/2020...

@martin_bloksa @tomas_ondrejka Thanks Tomas, looks like you guys have moved mountains with this new version. Good job and good luck to you! I'll be definitely sharing your tool with some of my friends :)

@martin_bloksa thanks for being an awesome supporter! :)

@stephnass In the onboarding process, you ask about salary expectations but it's not clear wether it's monthly or annual.

@stephnass thank you for your feedback. Great point! We'll fix it in the next update :)

@milan_sarzik It's always pleasure to hear success stories. Thank you Milan. :))

@paul_nica I can totally see your point there because that’s exactly what we thought back in the early days of Kickresume. Unfortunately, the pay-per-download model got very confusing very quickly. In reality, you end up downloading your resume more times than you’d expect. What do you mean by ''create a resume with any existing template?'' Do you mean a resume example/sample?

@tomas_ondrejka Oh ok, I believe you. Yea, from all the free and premium templates that you guys have, the user could choose a template of choice, create his resume and pay when he downloads it. So there was not the case for pricing plans, you had all the templates and you just paid for download

@paul_nica sure I see your point. It took us months of trial and error to find out that the subscription based model is the easiest for our customers to understand. It works really well and most of our customers are happy with it because we wanted to make sure that our pricing is fair. But that’s not the only reason. Pretty much all HR experts agree that having just one generic resume is not enough. Ideally, you want to keep updating your resume as you continue your job search. Also, you want to tailor your resume to every job opening you’re applying for. It adds that little extra touch that often makes a difference between getting hired and never hearing back from them. We are also working on new features like resume analytics or job matching which will be simply added to our subscription plans.

Hi @peter123456789, Thank you! Yes, there is a free version. Kickresume lets you create a resume without having to pay a single cent — all you have to do is sign up. You get 4 versatile resume templates, 2 cover letter templates, and 1 website template. The free customization options are a bit limited but even if you don’t want to upgrade to a premium subscription, you will be more than able to create a really good looking professional resume. Probably the best part is that you can create as many resumes as you want and download them as many times as you want — still for free. Also, all students get 6 months of Kickresume Premium for free. All they have to do is provide a valid student ID, such as an ISIC card. (If you’re a student but don’t have an ISIC, just contact our customer support. They’ll be happy to help.) For more details, see our pricing -> https://www.kickresume.com/en/pr...

@pavel_pol_koci Hey Pol. Thanks. Very good question. We continuously collect approvals from people we knew have been hired and ask them if we can share their resume as a sample with the community. This is perfect especially for people who struggle with things like how to start or finish a resume to its finest shape. Now we're preparing great new analytics features where we apply NLP/AI on our data sets. Analyzing everything from templates usage, content to grammar typos...but this is for a longer conversation. Amazing things are about to happen in a few weeks. Yeeah, We did. Here is Elon's infographic resume - https://blog.kickresume.com/2017... Bill Gates is actually a great idea. The newest we have is for the president Joe Biden. Check it out here --> https://blog.kickresume.com/2020...

@ondrej_prostrednik Thank you. I’m happy you like the new templates! Many of them were designed with specific jobs or industries in mind, but I feel like we need to communicate that more clearly. But to answer your question: We’re already working on improving the categorization and labeling of our templates so stay tuned. We’re taking our time because we want to do it right but it should go live soon.
