This might sound really stupid, but I'll ask anyway.

Could one expect to do the following WRT prompts:

"Write me a resume based on my linkedin profile directed at this job description"

"Rewrite my resume based on my current one"

etc...

Writing resumes is hard, time-consuming, frustrating etc.

Linkedin had the goal of being the online resume, but even still regardless with whom you are applying - you still always have to reiterate a ton of information. I want an atomic single-source link to point people to WRT to a resume, and I shouldnt have to re-sign-up/enter my BS in every single Workday, indeed, whatever stupid resume farm sites that a company chooses to work with.

I'd rather feed the job-desc in and say write me a resume for this job-desc based on X (pdf, linkedin, whatever)

and perhaps it could write cover letters too.

If you have a singular 'portfolio' private page of accomplishments, skills, projects etc... it could just pull from that.



AFAIK doing something like that is possible but it would require a bit of "glue code". In fact, someone launched something related recently: https://thisresumedoesnotexist.com/


Having cover letters generated would be amazing!
