60% of recruiters cite excessive buzzwords as the biggest resume mistake (State of Hiring, 2025) Your career isn’t a list of keywords. It’s your story. How you think. Work. The problems you solve. Shine is a positioning partner that helps you articulate what’s been hard to pin down. It brings hiring data and your story together, and gives you the tools to tell it clearly. Situation Analysis, Roadmap, Career Docs (resume, bio, social), Job Posting Application Analysis and Customization
Hello Product Hunt! I'm Dorothy, founder and builder of Shine ✨.
I've been watching people I respect, colleagues with 10, 20+ years, successful in their fields, suddenly unable to get interviews. They're doing everything 'right' according to the advice out there. Optimizing keywords, tailoring resumes, blasting applications. And it's not working.
The job market isn't down. It's restructured. And nobody's telling experienced professionals that the rules changed or how they need to adapt.
Why I built this: I've spent 18 years doing innovation strategy for corporations, helping billion-dollar companies figure out product value when markets shift. Before that, I was a builder (launched a SaaS in 1995, took a broadband startup to IPO, co-founded Taproot Foundation with $300M+ impact).
I realized: experienced professionals need the same strategic positioning work I do for Fortune 500 product launches. But they need it accessible, not $50K consulting engagements.
What Shine does: Reveals your strategic value through a discovery process that surfaces what makes you distinct - then gives you the tools to communicate it. Think: strategic positioning platform, not resume optimizer.
Shine uses AI to help people be more human, not less. To find their voice, not erase it. To position themselves authentically instead of algorithmically.
Who this is for: Experienced professionals (5+ years) navigating career transitions who've never had to articulate their strategic value before.
Try it free: Discovery phase is completely free - see what strategic positioning looks like for you.
