Every company sent the same AI rejection, so I built a resume tool and got two interviews

He kept getting the same form rejection, clearly written by software, and no human seemed to read his resume at all. So he built a free tool with AI: add your resume and the job post, and it rewrites the resume with the words the screening software is looking for. Using it, he got two interviews in one week.

How it works

  1. Get rejected by screening software again and again
  2. Build a tool with AI that takes a resume and a job post
  3. Have it add the keywords the screeners look for and produce an updated resume
  4. Apply with the new resumes
  5. Land two interviews in one week

Why it’s worth knowing

He stopped trying to impress the human reader and wrote for the robot standing in front of them. That is what got him the interviews.
