Simplify.jobs is a useful platform for job research, offering valuable insights and job recommendations. However, its resume building feature needs improvement. The available templates are basic and lack sophistication for professional careers. Additionally, the AI-generated suggestions for resume customization seem disingenuous. The strategy of adding adjectives to enhance resume appeal is short-sighted, as it may lead to discrepancies between the resume and actual skills demonstrated during interviews. This could potentially undermine the credibility of job seekers during the interview process.
I regret paying for the subscription. The resume generation is useless without the ability to edit the resume or increase indent on bullets. Most concerningly, the 'Tailor Resume' feature hallucinates constantly and adds experience or achievements that I don't actually have - now I can see why people are getting interviews with this tool, it makes them look more qualified than they are. Until I can edit tailored resumes or do more advanced formatting on the resume generator, I won't be renewing and I'll be regretting the 3 month subscription I paid for.
