👋Hi PH community, My name is Xitang. Zhigang and I are super excited to launch our first product hunt submission OpenResume - a free, open-source, and powerful resume maker and parser. The idea came to us while we were mentoring students and noticing common mistakes they made in their resumes that we had also made in the past. We thought to build a tool to help people easily create a modern professional resume with built-in best practices to avoid those mistakes. Top highlights of the resume builder are: 1. 👀 Real time UI update as you type 2. ✨ ATS friendly to top ATS platforms, e.g. Greenhouse, Lever 3. 🔒 Privacy focus - no sign up is required and data is stored locally in browser that only users have access 4. 🔍 Support import from existing resume PDF 5. ⭐ Initial success - Early users have landed interviews and offers from top companies, such as Dropbox, Google, Meta to name a few. The tool also includes a resume parser to help people test their existing resumes’ ATS readability if they might not be interested in using the builder. We hope others might find this tool useful and we look forward to hearing any feedback the community has. Many thanks & loves, Xitang and Zhigang

Very cool! Not useful for me atm since I don't need to make a resume. But I know a few friends outside of PH who would find this useful and shared out with them!

@pothamram Thank you for your support and for the great question! Other than OpenResume, there are some great free resume builders out there as you note, e.g. Reactive Resume, FlowCV. However, OpenResume stands out with 2 distinctive features: 1. OpenResume is designed specifically for the U.S. job market and best practices. Unlike other resume builders that target a global audience and offer many customization options, OpenResume intentionally only offers options that are aligned with U.S. best practices. For example, it excludes the option to add a profile picture to avoid bias and discrimination. It offers only the core sections, e.g. profile, work experience, education, and skills, while omitting unnecessary sections like references. Additionally, OpenResume only offers a top down single column resume design as opposed to two column design, because single column design works best for AST. 2. OpenResume is super privacy focus. While other resume builders may require email sign up and store user data in their databases, OpenResume believes that resume data should remain private and accessible only on user’s local machine. Therefore, OpenResume doesn’t require sign up to use the app, and all inputted data is stored in user’s browser that only user has access to.

Can it output to notion? I find hosting cvs on notion gets a lot of traffic etc.

@sentry_co This is a great idea. Thanks for sharing it. We haven't thought of it and will take a look into potential notion integration next.

Best thing about this is that it doesn't even require a sign-up.
