Show HN: Open-source resume builder and parser
Hi HN, I recently created and published an open-source resume builder as a weekend project. The idea came to me while I was mentoring students and noticing common mistakes they made in their resumes that I had also made in the past. I thought to build a tool to help people easily create a modern professional resume with built-in best practices to avoid those mistakes.<p>Top highlights of the resume builder are:<p>1. Real time UI update as you type<p>2. ATS friendly to top ATS platforms, e.g. Greenhouse, Lever<p>3. Privacy focus - no sign up is required and data is stored locally in browser that only users have access<p>4. Support import from existing resume PDF<p>The tool also includes a resume parser to help people test their existing resumes’ ATS readability if they might not be interested in using the builder. I also explained the parser algorithm in an article with interactive tables that might be an interesting read to see the steps and logics it uses (<a href="https://www.open-resume.com/resume-parser" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.open-resume.com/resume-parser</a>).<p>I hope others might find this tool useful and I look forward to hearing any feedback the community has. Thanks all.<p>Home Page: <a href="https://open-resume.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://open-resume.com</a><p>Github Repo: <a href="https://github.com/xitanggg/open-resume">https://github.com/xitanggg/open-resume</a><p>Product Hunt: <a href="https://producthunt.com/posts/openresume" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://producthunt.com/posts/openresume</a>

Tell HN: Interview take home assessments without feedback are frustrating
I'm in the process of interviewing for senior and staff front end positions. I've done several multi-hour take home projects now and a couple were rejected with generic rejection messages. It's pretty insulting to be frank. Spending 2-4 hours on likely valueless work is a substantial amount of time relative to the week day. If I've spent the time making the project and they've spent the time recruiting me and reviewing the project, the recruiter and reviewer could spend 5 minutes sending constructive feedback.<p>Anyone else share in this frustrating experience? Have you successfully asked for feedback before?
