| Love this askHN post. I'm currently working on "JobMailer". When I was looking for a job and applying to 100-200 positions, I got really good at the process. To me it seemed like a somewhat wasted skill set, because I was just looking for one job (unlike, for example, trying to acquire customers). "JobMailer" rebundles paid subscription features that a job seeker might use only a handful of times over their search period and automates manual application tasks: - Find good fit companies and jobs - Reword resume/CV to mirror or match job description and keywords - Find recruiter and hiring manager email addresses - Write cover letter and send email to recruiter/hiring manager to get noticed - Track email opens - Single page hub for all application statuses (think Mint but for all different company application login pages) The goal would be to semi-automate and submit ~50 high-quality and tailored applications in the first 30 days for a user. |
