Building the BEST Video Resume Tool in 5 days

📅 DAY 0: The Idea

I’m building a new free tool for ResumeMaker.Online, and I think this one is more robust and has more potential than any of the other free tools I’ve made so far.

That’s why I thought it would be a good idea to share the process as I go.

The idea is simple: I want to help people create short, 30-second video resumes.

Not to replace their CVs, but to stand out a bit.

Here’s he issue that I see today: everyone’s using AI and have perfectly written resumes, which is great … but it means everyone kind of blends in.

So, what if you could just add a short video? It could make your application way more memorable. You can attach it to your resume, or post it on LinkedIn.

Now, obviously, not everyone is comfortable with this:

• People aren’t video editors.
• Most webcam recordings look terrible.
• And a lot of us are shy or not great at speaking on camera.

That is why I need to make it as easy as possible for someone to hit record.

I know there are also concerns around bias, like in some countries, you’re not even supposed to add a photo to your CV… so the idea of a video might sound like a terrible idea.

But again, this isn’t a replacement for a traditional resume. It is just a complement. A way to show a bit of personality, if you want to.

Anyways… 5-day challenge. That’s the plan.

Day 1 drops on Monday. Follow along and see what happens!
