@andrewreid Did you tell AI what you want in the AI prompt box? Does it do what you ask for?

Exciting new feature! Hirecarta can now, using your complete master profile, generate your ideal LinkedIn headline, about, and experience descriptions. You can edit it as you wish, then copy and paste to your LinkedIn profile. Check it out from the Career tab at the top. Provide feedback in your comments below.

It took over 2 weeks to iron out the kinks but the Hirecarta subscription is live. For the past year, Hirecarta has been on a "donationware" model. Under that model, a number of people have donated generously. The economic reality is that only a few percent of users donate and I spend hundreds of dollars a month paying for infrastructure, AI tokens, voice recognition APIs, and so much more. Furthermore, I have gotten many comments that said, "I can't believe Hirecarta is free! It's better than the other paid tools I've tried." My mission is still to help people find jobs, so if you are in severe financial hardship, tell me about it and I would be happy to give a substantial discount. Hirecarta can't live without your help in spreading the word, so I'm also offering discount codes to people who post on social media about how they use Hirecarta. Send me a public link or a screenshot and contact me for a code. The best days are yet to come. Now that subscriptions are done, I'm back to coding up some great features to help you land a job! ~ Chester

As always, if you see a bug, please report it.

Ever want to show or hide certain application status types, like "new", "ghosted", etc? Now you can! [image: 1774661982446-ef16852e-3f2f-4bc9-b5e7-6cc73d1b6703-image.png]

To help everyone get the most out of Hirecarta, there's now a built-in tutorial. Access it from the tutorial icon at the top: [image: 1774298353985-42e254aa-41d9-4fa2-83fe-7d245f12c0ca-image.png]

@christiangaston if you use the Chrome extension to import jobs, it's the same workflow. Go to a job site, click import on the extension, it will automatically take you to the Job description tab of the Application section. If you are cutting and pasting a job description in, click on Applications at the top, then Job Description tab. Click Clear Fields and paste it in. You can find every tab from Hirecarta 1 by switching between Career, Application, and Support tabs at the top. Let me know if you need me to clarify anything.

@varunchaturvedi that's coming! Stay tuned

Having a resume headline is so important I've integrated it into the default flow of creating a resume. You can choose what style of headline the AI generates, you can click on it to edit it. If you really don't want a headline, you can go to "Customize Style" -> Sections tab and click the visibility toggle for headline. Also, I made the resume directly editable so you can make edits without opening the separate edit window. Let me know what you think!

A bug prevented auto-fill feature from communicating with the Hirecarta app but that's fixed. If you use the feature, please leave comments. I know it doesn't completely fill out forms but if you let me know what's important to you, I can prioritize it.

Thanks. So you noticed the new docx download option? How is it working out for you?

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. [image: 1768950677199-b01ae166-27a7-456e-9d2e-4492a4a46152-image.png] When you click "Edit Resume", you can now regenerate individual sections. 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.

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.
