IS THIS A GOOD IDEA?? Making a website that improves your Resume and it helps you find Networking Events and Professionals

Hi everyone,

My friends and I have been working on a career development platform called Professionist. The website is almost complete with most of its main features built.

The platform is meant to help students and early-career people improve how they present themselves professionally, especially with resumes, profiles, career planning, and job preparation.

Before we officially release it, we are looking for honest constructive feedback from people who would actually use something like this. Here are the 3 main tools:

  1. Magic Resume: Improves your existing resume by looking what keywords your lacking, gaps in your resume, formatting, etc.

The following tools use the Magic Resume as the base.

  1. Event Hub: Looks at the resume that you made on the website and see which networking events around your area like Hackathons, Meetups, Workshops for different students.

  2. Connection Nexus: Looks at your resume and helps you find recruiters or professionals you should reach out to or see how they're resume looks so you can see what your resume lacks.

Some feedback we are looking for:

  •  Do the features feel useful for students or early-career job seekers?
  •  Is the platform easy to understand and does it look professional?
  •  Does anything feel generic, unnecessary, or missing?
  •  Would you actually use something like this? If you would, what features would YOU LIKE?

However we are wondering if this is worth pursuing?

If anyone is cool sending their thoughts let us know.

The resume improver feels like the least differentiated part. The more interesting wedge is “given who I am, which rooms should I be in and who should I talk to?” because students already get endless resume advice but still don’t know what to do next. I’d test the Event Hub + Connection Nexus as the core promise, then make the resume just the input that powers better recommendations.
