MegaResume is a resume building application which simplifies the creation of single-page resumes. By selecting specific tags, users can filter their experience and accomplishments based on a job description.

This application is designed for people that have a wide breadth of experience, but find job applications that do not require all of their skills as values

Motivation

Previously to solve this problem, I created a master resume document which contained all of my experience. When I would create a resume for a specific job, my process would look like this:

  • Create a copy of the master document into a new file and open it.
  • Find the experience that was irrelevant to the job description.
  • Delete the irrelevant job experience.
  • Format the document to ensure it remained at one page.

This was a very time-consuming process which took the wind out of my sails when searching for work. However, MegaResume has made this process much easier to do!

Goals

This application is the most useful if the following happens:

  • My time to apply for jobs is reduced
  • The friction to apply for a job is reduced
  • I can increase the number of job application in a shorter period of time
  • I get more responses from my resume
  • My resumes that are generated are readable by application tracking software
  • I can use this device on mobile devices
