Steel Man Resumes: Truth. Told Strong.

I'm not a developer. I'm a resume writer from Wisconsin who's spent 10 years helping warehouse workers, guys fresh out of prison, people with gaps they can't explain, and anyone else the job market treats like a liability. I got tired of doing everything manually. So I taught myself enough to be dangerous, wired together a bunch of AI tools, and built this whole thing. Three sites. No dev background. Just stubbornness and a lot of late nights. Here's the pitch: Take that piece of shit resume you made on Indeed at 2am. Paste it in. The Forge (free) analyzes it and spits back a full Career Intelligence Report — your strengths, your gaps, how to frame the hard stuff, employer research, an action plan. Exponentially more data than you put in. Want us to turn that into real documents? The Refinery is $37. What you're looking at: • steelmanresumes.com — the front door, explains who we help and why • forge.steelmanresumes.com — free Career Intelligence Report, no signup, 5 minutes • refinery.steelmanresumes.com — $37 gets you everything below The $37 package is fucking massive: Tailored resume that actually addresses your situation (gaps, record, job hopping, whatever) Cover letter that doesn't sound like a template Portfolio HTML page you can share or host 50 employers in your area actively hiring, with contact strategies Spreadsheet application tracker Alloy Report (skills + experience breakdown) Interview scripts for the hard questions Wage negotiation guidance Step-by-step instructions 30-day action plan And coming soon: The Anvil — an AI interviewer that helps you practice talking about your record, your gaps, your firings. Out loud. Before you're sitting across from a hiring manager sweating. This isn't for people with polished LinkedIn profiles. This is for the guy who just got fired, the woman re-entering after raising kids, the 50-year-old who's never written a resume, the person whose background check is a problem. Every upvote helps real people find real work. I'm not being dramatic. This is the population I've served for a decade — they need tools like this, and most of them can't afford $300 resume services or don't even know where to start. Happy to answer anything. I built this with AI, Claude, GPT, etc., duct tape, and pure spite. Built with: Next.js • React • TypeScript • Tailwind CSS • Zod • Stripe • Vercel If I can do it, the barrier is gone.
