One of the most frustrating parts of job hunting today isn’t just applying — it’s the constant silence or rejection after sending dozens of applications.
Many people send the same resume everywhere, but most companies now use ATS filters and keyword matching, so resumes often get rejected before a human even sees them.
The advice everywhere is:
“Customize your resume and cover letter for every job.”
But doing that properly takes 20–40 minutes per application, which makes it hard to apply consistently.
So I built cvrepair.guru.
- Upload your resume (once)
- Paste the job description
And it generates:
a resume optimized for that specific role
a natural-sounding cover letter tailored to the job
The goal isn’t mass-applying to hundreds of jobs. It’s helping people quickly tailor applications so they have a better chance of passing ATS filters and getting interviews.
I originally built it after seeing friends (and myself) send many applications with very few responses.
Would really appreciate feedback from the HN community.
What I’m curious about:
- What would make this more useful in your job search workflow?
- Any features you wish existed for customizing resumes faster?
The app gives 3 free credits initially, which you can use to tailor your resume and cover letter for a job posting. The reason for the limited free credits is that the tool runs multiple AI models, and with large resumes the processing cost can get fairly high.
Feel free to test it with a real job description and share your feedback, I’d genuinely appreciate hearing what works and what could be improved.
