The problem
In the competitive landscape of job hunting, a perplexing challenge plagues job seekers: despite sending out a multitude of applications, only a handful of interview invitations materialize. The root cause of this predicament lies in the prevalence of non-tailored resumes – a problem that severely hampers candidates' chances of standing out in a sea of applicants.

The root cause of this predicament lies in the prevalence of non-tailored resumes – a problem that severely hampers candidates' chances of standing out in a sea of applicants.
The Challenge
The heart of the issue is that many job seekers opt for a one-size-fits-all approach to their resumes. This results in generic documents that fail to address the specific requirements and nuances of each job position. As a result, resumes lack the personalized touch that recruiters seek in identifying the most promising candidates.

The research phase started with investigating white papers to understand resumes, the hiring process, and resume customization, where I encountered fascinating statistics. A survey by TopResume in 2021 revealed: ~Customizing a resume for a particular job can boost interview chances by up to 50%. A staggering 75% of job applications get rejected by applicant tracking systems (ATS) even before a human recruiter assesses them~

User Interviews
I conducted in-depth interviews a sample of users who are most likely to use a resume generator to discover what problems are they currently facing in creating their resume. What do they need most from a resume generator? The interviews include questions about the user's expectations and experience with an AI resume generator, perceived benefits and drawbacks, and suggestions for improvement. When recruiting participants, I targeted people that will most likely use a resume generator such as job seekers, career changers, recent graduates, professionals looking to advance, and Individuals with disabilities who may need assistance in highlighting their skills and experience to potential employers.

Formatting Challenges
Ensuring a professional and visually appealing resume format can be a daunting task and Inconsistent formatting may lead to an unimpressive presentation of their skills and achievements.
Lack of Relevance
Generic resumes often include a laundry list of skills and experiences that might not align with the specific needs of the job. This makes it challenging for recruiters to see the direct match between the candidate's background and the role's requirements.
Time Constraints
Job seekers often lack the time to create and customize multiple versions of their resume for different job applications, especially when they are already balancing their current work or studies.
Missed Keywords
Many employers use applicant tracking systems (ATS) to scan resumes for specific keywords. If a resume is not customized to match the keywords in a job description, it might not even reach the hands of a human recruiter.

Wireframes
It was important for me to think through the entire flow of creating a job posting and explore how it could be streamlined in a holistic way. A top-down view before delving into details and specific features.
During the design phase of the project, I recognized the paramount importance of validating the wireframes and gathering user insights before finalizing the designs. To accomplish this, I conducted remote usability testing, a method that allowed me to gain valuable feedback from potential users in a controlled yet real-world setting. Through remote usability testing, I identified instances where users struggled to find their way around the wireframes. This led to immediate improvements in navigation cues and labeling to enhance overall user understanding. The feedback highlighted certain areas where the content hierarchy wasn't as intuitive as intended. This led to a reevaluation of content prioritization and adjustments to ensure that users could readily access key information.
