ResumeWizard: value focused AI resume writing tool for jobseekers.

My friend applied to 50+ jobs he was overqualified for. Zero interviews.

We ran his resume through Resume Wizard. 26% keyword match.

He had every skill they wanted—just used different wording. "Collaborated with stakeholders" vs "cross-functional team leadership." "Ubuntu" instead of "Linux." Same things. ATS didn't care.

He fixed the keywords in 30 minutes. Two weeks later: 3 interviews.

That's when I decided to build ResumeWizard.

What it does:

  • Paste your resume + any job description
  • Get your ATS compatibility score in seconds
  • See exact missing keywords
  • Get specific rewrite suggestions with metrics
  • Clearly demonstrate your value to hiring managers

Tech stack: Next.js, TypeScript, compromise.js for NLP parsing

Traction so far: $29 (1 user in the first week)

Pricing: Free first analysis, $5 for 5 more, $29/mo unlimited

Link: https://www.resumewizard.pro

What I'm working on:

  • Improving keyword extraction accuracy
  • Adding PDF parsing (currently paste only)
  • Industry-specific optimization tips

Questions for IH:

  • What's worked for you in resume/job search tools?
  • Should I add LinkedIn profile optimization?
  • Best channels for reaching job seekers?

Would love your feedback! Happy to answer any questions about the tech or approach.

    Nice write‑up. The keyword mismatch story is real — we’ve seen people accept a score only when it’s tied to concrete issues (missing keywords + where they belong, ATS parse errors, weak impact bullets).

    Two ideas that might help conversion:
    • Show a tiny “why” for each keyword gap (e.g., which job requirement it maps to) so it feels role‑specific.
    • A quick before/after example can make the value tangible.

    Re LinkedIn optimization: I’d keep it optional unless you can reuse the same role‑fit logic. We’re building a similar structured report at https://resume.easy-ai.me/ and the role context is what users mention most.
