Built a personal AI job search advisor that ranks postings and tailors my resume

Rundown Member · 3H AGO

I built a job search advisor that starts from my resume and LinkedIn profile and tracks my whole search. It is for anyone weighing more than one career path, or running a long job hunt who wants one place to see what fits and where each application stands. 1. Ingest my resume and LinkedIn profile. 2. Save my priority job criteria: location, pay range, and role aspects. 3. Classify and score two future career paths: full-time and semi-retired. Searches major job posting services and local business openings and industry top 40 employers (eg Insurance) 4. Preserve each posting's content and rank new search results by how well their attributes match my skills and experience. 5. Create a position-specific resume that emphasizes the skills best aligned to the posting. 6. Retain the lifecycle status of each action: not applying, applied, HR screen, interview, offer, or declined. 7. Preserve all history and roll-up stats for everything found. 8. Compare new openings to historical ones and comment on the history, how often a role is reposted, and a summary of why it is a match. 9. Provide watch-outs: topics that may come up in discussion based on where the opening asks for something I lack. 10. Store my notes and comments on every interaction across the applicant lifecycle. It produces a ranked feed of matched openings, a tailored resume for each application, and a complete record of every posting and conversation. I never did any coding, simply chatted with Claude and iterated on changes and new functionality as I used it. It saves me four hours a day from my manual efforts that predated it. Looking at the stats also confirms my faith in just how bad the job market is right now. 🤣
