JobHuntPilotAI

Hey Indie Hackers 👋

Last year, I finished my master’s in the UK and started searching for a job. I thought I was prepared: good degree, decent projects, lots of enthusiasm. What I didn’t expect was how brutal the process would be.

I spent months tailoring resumes, writing endless cover letters, and carefully applying to roles — only to hear nothing back. I barely got any interviews. Turns out, most companies were using AI systems to filter resumes before a human even glanced at them.

It hit me that getting a job wasn’t about being the “best fit” — at least not at first. It was a numbers game. The more applications you send, the better your odds of slipping past the filters and landing an interview.

So I decided to flip the process. I built a tool that does what I was spending hours on:
✅ Finds relevant jobs based on my profile
✅ Customizes my resume and cover letter for each one
✅ Applies to hundreds of openings automatically

I used it myself and finally started getting responses. That feeling of going from total silence to booking interviews was incredible.

Now I’m turning it into a product, hoping it can help others stuck in the same loop.

If you’ve ever been through the grind of sending applications into the void, I’d love to hear your experiences. How did you handle it? What tools did you wish existed?

Thanks for reading! Always happy to share more or show what I’ve built. 🚀
