Q: 1)Any plans to be able to upload resumes from dcouments or PDF's?

I think this would make this better deal. Not everyone is on linked in, and really my profile there is not related to a job I would put in for.
2)If we load a resume to Linked in, will it pull from that resume, or is it only pulling from other sections of Linked In?
3)Can we copy and past items from a doc or pdf and paste them into the resume?
4)Can we customize these resumes, add things not on Linked IN?

Thanks.

A: Hello!

1. We do want to build an 'Upload Resume' feature where the user can upload their PDF or DOC resume and it would automatically be converted to a well-formatted & stylish resume on Resumonk.

But, as you would understand, this upload functionality is a non-trivial technical problem. We need to accurately parse any resume uploaded to Resumonk and then extract the right information from it. The resume can be in any kind of layout & format, and could also be in a language other than English.

We are still exploring a good technical solution that will work for majority of cases.

2. Resumonk imports the information from the zip file exported by LinkedIn. This zip file only has information present in the LinkedIn sections. We don't get the uploaded resume in it, and even if we get it, till the time we have the generic parser available as mentioned above we won't be able to read this uploaded resume.

3. Yes, you can copy & paste information in to the Resumonk editor.

4. Yes, you can customize the resume by adding/renaming sections and updating any information that you've imported from LinkedIn. You can add any number of custom sections to your resume.

Thanks.

Q: How many total people can we make resumes for?

You said 'no' to using it for clients, but 'yes' to using it for family and friends. What's the exact limit? I'd rather know now then later when you decide to 'clarify' it. Thank you!

A: Typically we review an account if it has resumes for more than 10 people. If a user is under that limit, it’s perfectly okay.

In the review, if it seems that the person is using their account for commercial use, we politely ask them to switch to a custom business plan.

Please note that we mean 10 different individuals here, and not 10 resumes in an account. You can have 7 resumes each for 3 people and that won’t be an issue at all.

In fact, we encourage customizing the resume for each job application (using the Clone feature) and Resumonk helps in maintaining all the different versions on the same Dashboard.

Often, students in developing countries start sharing their account. It’s completely understandable that the pricing in USD can be a deterrent for them (we’ve been there ourselves at one point). We suggest them to use our referral program to get free access to our premium features.

Let me know if you’ve any other questions. Cheers.

Q: Based on your explanation that the purchase here is good for up to 10 people, e.

g. family and friends... If I indeed had 10 people wanting to use this, and each of the 10 people created one resume per person, will my Appsumo plan be exhausted at the 10 resumes? Or will each of these people be able to create more resumes as their needs and job experience change, i.e. "Create and manage multiple personal resumes. Single click 'clone' functionality".

Thanks.

Q: Can i embed it into a website or app, using iFrame html?

If possible, please share an example url where i can check how it looks.

Also, i understand this LTD is for the Forever plan, which includes x10 different people, is that correct?

PS: After reading all sumoling comments-questions, you have no doubt that an Agency plan is what´s needed here on appsumo to make your product sell-be competitive. So it would be great if you could actually confirm a date when you´re planning to launch the agency plan here... if it is in your plans.

Thank you

Q: Hi, i could be interested in offering this service to my audience, under my own CNAME and white-label branding.

My users would be able to generate their own CV´s, using the templates available etc..
Basically, if i get it right... it would be an agency LTD.

If that´s available and-or possible, i would like to check info, features and costs. As long as it is a LTD offering, I don´t go for recurring payment subscriptions.

Thank you!

- DOCX download is available for 14 templates on Resumonk while it’s only there for 2 templates on resume.io
- Custom URL for public resumes e.g. resumonk.com/your-name

A: We looked at all the feature requests for the Agency Plan that we received from the Sumo-lings.

At this point, it won’t be wise on our part to sell the Forever Plan to agencies and professional resume writers. If we hastily add a couple of features just to make it look suitable for businesses, it will still fall short of all your expectations (and also ours).

We know this will disappoint many of you and we are sorry about it. But you wouldn’t want to get stuck with something half-baked especially when your own clients will depend on this platform.

Whenever we launch the Agency Plan in the future, we will come back to AppSumo with a new deal.

Thanks again to everyone who expressed interest in having this plan and emailed us their suggestions. Much appreciated!

p.s. Just putting it here again for people who might not have read our other answers - You can use Forever Plan to create unlimited resumes for yourself, friends and family (up to 10 individuals)!

Q: I purchased a lifetime subscription some 4 years ago and quickly dropped Resumonk.

Why? Because it didn't receive any further development since and I encountered many bugs when exporting templates to Word. Also, documents created by Resumonk never imported properly into ATS. Some templates were added, but that's it. I, for one, find Rezi much more intuitive and developing to customers' needs. Your mileage may vary.

There's one feature though that I use with Resumonk: Endorsements on LinkedIn. I quickly import all of them and create a separate document with Resumonk to attach to my resume.

A: Thanks for your feedback. Much appreciated.

I’m sorry you had a disappointing experience with Resumonk. It is under active development and we’ll try to speed it up more at our end.

I'll try to address your other points here.

Unfortunately, the DOCX format has lots of limitations when it comes to updating those templates programmatically. An exact 1:1 mapping with HTML & PDF versions is not possible. The color, font, spacing & page layout settings are applied only to the PDF and not to the DOCX format.

There is no uniform standard followed by all the Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) when it comes to parsing a resume and extracting relevant text out of it. A resume might be parsed perfectly by one software and the same document might not work with another one. In fact, differences exist between different versions of the same software.

Since the ​list of ATS software​ is huge, it’s practically impossible to say this particular template or resume will get parsed by 'all' of them correctly.

Our recommendation is to ideally apply for a job through a referral so that the resume reaches the hiring manager directly. That gives the candidate the best chance and a standout resume/cover letter really helps there. This can't be done for all job applications, but the candidate should strive to do it as much as possible.

Having said that, you can choose to test your Resumonk resume on a service like Jobscan (no affiliation with us) to assess how it gets read by ATS software. I believe their software is able to parse our resumes well.

Glad you like the LinkedIn import feature. We are continually working on improving the product and hope you'll find Resumonk more useful in future. :-)
