What are the best tools for job search?


Do you know tools to make the life easier when looking for a job?

Do you think that AI resume or cover letter tools are helpful?

Thanks!

I've used chatgpt to improve both my resume and cover letter. It takes a decent amount of finesse to dial it in but it's very much worth the time and effort. That's about it for me. I monitor about 10 different job sites, along with several other subreddits, slack teams, and discord servers

I’ve actually built Resgen[0] to help tailor resumes to job descriptions. It’s been a boon for my own job search, getting me a lot more call backs. I plan to build it out to a whole personal recruiter that sources and applies to jobs for me.

As for sites, LinkedIn and Otta are the two that I’ve had the most results from.

Hands down LinkedIn is the single one.

Other than that - I haven't found anything useful among myriads of cv-ai-smart-ml-web3-bla-bla tools that are all over the internet these days.

I might only use Grammarly and ChatGPT for more or less adequate outreach.
