shouldIApply matches your resume against a job posting and gives an honest GO or NO-GO — even when the answer is "don't bother." See the ATS keywords you're missing and get a truthful rewrite only when you're actually a match. Free resume checker + keyword library included.
Love the honest "don't bother" angle, that alone makes this stand out from the usual resume scanner fluff. One thing I'd love: a side-by-side comparison of two different jobs so I can see which one I'm actually a stronger fit for before I start tailoring anything.
@diyars9zv Really appreciate this 🙏 And that side-by-side idea is a great one — being able to compare two jobs and see which you're a stronger fit for before investing any tailoring time fits the whole "don't waste effort" philosophy perfectly. Adding it to the list — this is the kind of feedback that actually shapes what I build next. Thank you.
@diyars9zv Thanks again for the great suggestion. I wanted to let you know I've implemented side-by-side job comparison so you can compare multiple opportunities and make a more informed decision before applying.
If you have a chance, I'd really appreciate it if you could give it another try and let me know how it works on your end. Your feedback has already helped improve the product. Let me know and I can share the access code, please submit access code request via the website form.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! 🚀
Tried it on a senior role I was eyeing and got a NO-GO plus the exact keywords I was missing, which honestly saved me from wasting an hour tailoring my resume. Love that it doesn't try to sugarcoat things.
@sudeyabg This is exactly what I built it for — that "saved me from wasting an hour" moment is the whole point. Tailoring a resume for a job you were never landing is the most demoralizing kind of busywork. Thanks so much for trying it on a real role, and for the kind words 🙏
Love how it tells you not to bother instead of hyping every role. That honest filter saves so much time and feels way more trustworthy than the usual "you're a perfect match" fluff.
@toprakmdrk "Trustworthy" is the word I care about most, so this genuinely means a lot. The industry norm of telling everyone they're a perfect match is exactly what I wanted to push against — it's not helping anyone. Thanks for getting it, and for taking the time to say so 🙏
