If this worked it would be great! I tried to sign up, but it requires way too much upfront manual data entry - would be great if it parsed a CV document or read data from Linkedin. At this stage I don't want to continue testing it because I'm interested in finding out how well it works with my real data and not some test/mock data I upload in a hurry.

Hello, filling up your profile details is a one-time task, once done, you can always generate resumes at any time without any effort but that said, I will look into CV parsing system.

Thanks for checking out ResumeSet.

+1 you may look into jsonresume format, which has a tool to import from LinkedIn. Everyone hates having to retype their resume into yet another huge form.
Hi, jsonresume import is now available, you should check it out.
Thank you my friend. This is great news! the best invention since sliced bread!

I have a... lengthy job history :-) Which is also the reason why I'm interested in your solution. 60% of what I've done isn't relevant to most jobs I apply to, so filtering that out or compressing it to a few sentences would be fantastic.

Maybe I'll give it a second try this weekend.

if you have a json resume, you can now import it.
