JobProfile Reviews

JobProfile has undeniably streamlined my workflow, offering a superior alternative to comparable products on AppSumo. The user-friendly interface and robust features stand out, making it a valuable tool for professionals. However, there is room for improvement. Currently, the "About-Me" section struggles with paragraph formatting, which can be frustrating. Fixing this issue would elevate the user experience significantly. Otherwise, at just $19, it's a worthwhile investment that delivers substantial value. Please add a multilingual function to the editor!

I’ve been experiencing a recurring Error Code 521 (Web server is down) on jobprofile.io, especially when trying to access the site at crucial times. It appears the server is either overloaded or there’s a connectivity issue between Cloudflare and the host. While Cloudflare seems to be functioning properly, the host server often fails to respond, causing downtime.

This issue is disrupting my ability to access the website, and I hope the host can resolve this server-related problem soon to ensure smoother access. Would appreciate timely communication or resolution from the hosting team.

Thank you for providing such outstanding applications! We are able to write a stress-free resume. Your platform has been an absolute game-changer, making the process of crafting a professional resume a breeze.

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional service and user-friendly interface you have developed. Your team's dedication to creating a seamless experience for job seekers is truly commendable.

The tool worked without issues. I could upload a resume in PDF format, which was reformated into one of the templates available.

Unfortunately, that's about it!

It is a fill-in-the-blank form with 12 basic templates to choose from. The completed resume will be available only as a PDF.

Do not be fooled by the AI! It's only for suggestions on specific fields, and the outcome (many times) is repeated.

I refunded it, as I could do better with ChatGPT.

To the creator, I would suggest to consider adding the following:

1. Leverage AI to audit uploaded resumes, score them based on best practices, and suggest improvements.

2. Integrate with LinkedIn to use profile information as a source for the resume and even audit and score user profiles based on best practices.

3. Adding a cover letter generator to the tool's features would provide users with a more comprehensive job application solution.

4. Leverage AI to adapt resumes and cover letters to the requirements of a specific position.

5. Expanding the template library to include a wider range of designs and formats would greatly benefit users across various job roles and industries.

Glad we can make a quick refund on Appsumo. JobProfile is far from ready for the market. It offers 12 outdated templates, and limited capabilities to edit a file. Missing export as editable format and cannot read imported pdf files.
Refunded after 4 minutes.
Don't waste your time

There are so many issues with this tool that I'm surprised with all the previous high ratings. They are not justified even if this is the first version of it. While the product may make your resume look somewhat decent, serious applicants need more than just a nice-looking resume to apply successfully. Here is why I would not recommend using it based on my extensive experience in working with it:

1) The most important aspect of any resume is that it needs to be ATS-friendly, which ensures an Applicant Tracking System, like Workday, can easily read it when it is uploaded. In fact, most recruiters will tell you that Word documents are often preferred for their ATS-friendliness, as the text can be easily parsed. So it is odd that this tool does not provide the option to export the resumes in Word format. This would also allow the ability to easily edit the content afterward without having to do it all inside the platform since it is quite restrictive. However, even after testing the resume format generated by this tool, I found that my old resumes, which were built in Word, were far more ATS-friendly than the terrible PDF format this tool generates. What made it even more frustrating is that the Applicant Tracking System I tested this with, Workday, struggled to recognize some of the information consistently depending on the template design I generated from this tool. In some cases, company names, job titles, and dates were partially or completely omitted from certain sections. In comparison, the same sections I had in a Word doc version of my resume were recognized with no issues.

2) The template designs available in this tool are limited and not easily customizable. Some even look outdated and not appealing. I also question the design choices as the font styles, sizes, line and column spacing, and overall lack of formatting options are so limiting and problematic that they end up working against you in ways that cannot be ignored by you or anyone else who sees your resume. This again goes back to my concern over the use of a PDF format as the only export option.

3) To make matters worse, some templates have formatting issues that others do not. For example, when using the Simple template, if the company name is a little long in the Experience section, it forces the start and end dates next to it to stack up over multiple lines on the side in a narrow column (sometimes up to 3 or 4 lines). This also occurs with Skills where multiple words describing a single skill stack up over several lines in a narrow column. This may explain why some resume information is not being properly processed when uploading resumes from this tool to an ATS.

4) Bugs, bugs, bugs! I came across so many just in my first couple hours of use and have reported most of them. There are too many to list here but it shows that there was not sufficient testing done before rolling this tool out. For instance, if your resume title contains a period, for example, "Jane Doe Ph.D.", it will not export the PDF file name correctly as it then omits the .pdf file extension. As a result, the file won't work unless you manually add the .pdf extension onto the end of the file name.

5) Unable to save customized design choices based on the template design. Color choices or other specific template design choices you make can't be saved as part of a profile or in a separate folder. The only thing you can save is your recent text edits. So once you switch to a different template, you will need to reset design choices all over again.

6) The AI job description feature was one that I was excited to try out but it was a complete letdown. While it does recommend a list of skills you can include in your Skills section that align with the job description, it does not do much for your other sections. In fact, all the AI does for your About Me or Experience section is provide a summary sentence for whatever you already have there. It has very little to do with the job description or what your resume needs to include to better align with it which is quite pointless in my opinion. If you don't have anything in those sections already, the one-sentence suggestion from the AI is quite generic and useless since it needs information about your experience to suggest something.

Overall, I wanted to like this product, but it still has a long way to go before it can be seen as a serious tool. Based on its significant shortcomings, I've requested a refund and plan to stick to using Word for my resume needs until something more reliable comes along.

Jobprofile is awesome as you upload your pdf CV and it transfers most of it into the professional templates provided, and you can add information or delete or you let AI help you. Its just awesome!

You can save different resumes and change the design of each one. There are some minimal details it could be improved, like possibility to change all labels, change language of the months for the dates or select the font of the template.

For that price and first version, it is definitely worth.

Five tacos.

I needed to update my resume for a job opportunity that came up in a rush. Bought this, tested it and in 20 minutes I had my resume updated and looking pretty awesome. Sent it over to the recruiter, and now I have an interview scheduled. For the price, this is a steal.

I love how simple and easy it is to edit my resume in this tool. I especially love the templates, and yes they are ATS friendly (I applied to a few companies with the resume created through this tool, and the auto-fill function worked nicely on all portals). Coming to the AI part, the skill suggestions are incredible. However, the writing part could use some more effort from the development team. Nevertheless, at this price, it is a star!

Honestly, this is a solid platform and so easy to use, it does what it says it will and it does it well. I had an old CV/Resumé so uploaded that which allowed the platform to pre-fill the majority of it. I spent about an hour updating things and making it look good with the help of their template library. I especially liked the AI features.

For $19 this is a hidden gem and a tool I didn't know I needed but now I can ensure my CV/Resumé is always up to date because you never no when an opportunity may present itself. You can even chuck in the job description and AI will make suggestions to improve it based on the job spec - although I haven't tried this feature yet.

Well done to the devs. A great, solid platform. Good job 👏
