> your resume is a bit of a rollercoaster ride through the world of tech buzzwords and inflated self-importance.
Super funny comments, loved this!
> So, you managed to land an internship at Amazon Web Services? Color me impressed. But do you really need to brag about reducing a team's workload by 33%? Couldn't you round it up to a solid 50%? We wouldn't want anyone thinking you didn't max out your potential, now, would we?
"Lastly, your language section. English and Portuguese? Well, Victor, congrats on knowing the languages of...well...your home country. How impressively average of you. How about learning a language that will actually make you stand out? "

that cracked me up

Love this roast haha

> Your skills section reads like a random word generator on overdrive. "Analytical," "Data Driven," "Agile Software"? Are you trying to drag hiring managers into your hellish buzzword vortex? And I see you proudly listed "Proficient with JIRA, Git, Shortcut." Congrats, you can use software that most teenagers learn in their sleep.

I get a "Bro there is no way you have a resume that can't fit on one page." I just uploaded a PDF with two pages and I'm getting anxious already.
Hey I'm Mike, one of the guys behind this project. Just added support for you multiple page folk ;)
I got "It's truly impressive how you managed to cram every single project you've ever worked on into this document. I bet it took a hell of a lot of time to type it all out."
Darn. Mine’s more than one page. :/
Hey I'm Mike, one of the guys behind this project. Just added support for you multiple page folk ;)
Ugh. Mine is 3 pages long.

"Bro there is no way you have a resume that can't fit on one page"

Two page resume not supported
Apparently not one pager too. I got “Bro, I know your resume is not that short”
To paraphrase a certain AI Resume Roaster...

"Bro, there is no way you have a PDF parser that can't handle multiple pages..."

But in all seriousness, this is a fun idea. Albeit with quite the narrow funnel dropoff right out of the gates... ;P...

You can't upload a cv with over 1 page? It doesn't allow to submit.
I'm guessing this is tuned for software engineering roles?

I'm an elementary school teacher, and the bot basically made fun of the fact that I have to deal with children all day. Like... yes... that's why I became an elementary school teacher.

Yeh, this did not work for me, I dont get it.
I can't upload, it always thinks the file I'm giving (735kB) is less than 300 bytes (I checked in the code), idk why

Tested on Vivaldi, Chrome, Firefox on desktop Linux and on Kiwi on Android. Every browser gives same result.

Bro, learn to code or your error handling or something ;)

I keep getting: "Bruh, I ain't reading all that", its one A4 page...

... says an unidentified entity serving you a website.
I’m the author of the website. This was a fun experiment from Team Simplify (YC W21). Surprised hacker news found it because we hadn’t really launched this yet haha
Does anyone trust this service? It sounds like a great way to harvest personal data from unwitting participants.
Error Processing the Word Document: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'children')
Hey y’all! Glad you guys enjoyed our fun side project. We hadn’t officially launched yet, super surprised Hacker News found this haha

For context, we’re Simplify (YC W21), and we are building a candidate-first job search experience. We’ve been fine tuning some LLM models to improve resumes, and thought it’d be fun to also have it roast some resumes!
