This is just part 1 of a major overhaul. If you go to the applications page and click on any application, it will load the job description, job fit, resume, and cover letter for that job. Applications is now the "hub" and artifacts you create or import are the "spoke". Huge changes to ease of use are coming!

2 big updates! It's important for your resume to have a headline. Like a headline in a newspaper article, it immediately tells the recruiter what you are about. Now, AI can generate the headline, in many common styles.

People have said to me, "I like everything the AI made in the resume except just one section, can it make just that section and preserve the others?" In that case, the answer is yes! You can click on the circular arrow to regenerate the section. [image: 1768950812431-b28db978-e0c4-4958-bc3f-2277990a8f77-image.png] As always, let me know if you encounter any bugs, or give a shout if you find the feature useful.

I did deep research on modern cover letters and there is general consensus that the 3-paragraph format is ideal. First paragraph is an attention grabber and connects some significant accomplishment to the job title. Second paragraph is expanding on why you are a great fit. Third paragraph is a strong closing and expresses enthusiasm for the role without being cliche. Please give me feedback below on your thoughts and results!

To help you get the most out of Hirecarta, I'll be running beginner and advanced workshops. You can sign up on the events page. [image: 1767751789700-8562e017-fc69-431d-9fcf-5678b99782f1-image.png]

I'm using one of the top frontier AI models to build the resumes. I spent hours comparing all the models and updating the prompt to minimize hallucinations and make it sound more "human". Post your feedback below and whether you notice any difference. If anything should be tweaked, let me know.

It's now clear what should go in each input box: [image: 1766013665160-6f30c751-6590-4429-9eab-bd1b8981cd5c-image.png]

It looks so simple, but it took 2 days of coding to get it to work perfectly!

There's a major security vulnerability that was just announced. It affects a large percentage of web apps out there. I'm releasing this update as soon as possible. Just taking care of my users.

Added a button to clear the job description fields, in case you're pasting in a new job description. Use the Chrome extension whenever you can, it's so much faster! Also fixed lots of "under the hood" look and feel issues. What else would you like to see? It's Giving Tuesday, please consider donating even a small amount!

Conducted a security and bug review to fix several issues. If you don't have a LinkedIn profile, the cover letter signature block will no longer just show "LinkedIn:"

I also improved the dark mode theme on most pages.

MAJOR UPDATE: You can now auto-fill job application websites with information from your profile. Please provide feedback in the comments below about how useful it is, how you'd like to see it improved.

On the interview prep page, added storage of the generated company research so you can come back to it again.

Important feature! New tab (looks like LinkedIn logo) that will generate messages to send to the possible recruiters, hiring manager, and connections you have at the company. This will get your application more looks than other candidates, for sure.

Redesign UI so that each page has consistent title, subtitle and recommended next step.

Fixed bug in importing jobs from LinkedIn because LinkedIn changed their site again. If you see something broken in the Chrome extension, please report it on the bugs forum.

Improved the intake process to be more clear about each step, testing voice mode, and showing people this community.

I made major changes to standardize the date format on the back end. It will make supporting Hirecarta much easier in the future. If you notice anything weird with dates, PLEASE report it here or in the bug reports section. Thanks. I also tweaked the prompts for resume summary and cover letter to avoid cliches like "result-oriented" or "motivated". Let me know if it improves quality.

great! Thanks for doing this so quickly.

Fixed bug where the extension was not able to import jobs from websites. If you find a bug, please report it!
