Hi everyone!
I'll be quick, I'm looking for somewhere to buy my wife a Cartier watch that looks good, is reasonably priced (I can't afford the real thing). Do you know where I can find a good replica?
Background: I build HAIRED (haired.app), an AI resume tool. I'm sharing this because I've seen more resume data than most people, and the "best AI resume builder" discussions here tend to be either outdated or written by people who tested each tool for 20 minutes. I tested all of these properly. I'll be upfront wherever my bias might show.
The short version for people who won't read the whole thing:
— Best pure ATS optimization → Rezi — Best for managing a complex job search → Teal — Best design + ATS balance → Kickresume — Best for European/LATAM markets + iOS → HAIRED (yes, mine — take that with appropriate salt) — Best for optimizing an existing resume → Resume Worded — Most overrated → Canva (great for design, terrible for ATS — and ~80% of rejected CVs we see were built there)
The detailed breakdown:
Rezi — still the ATS benchmark for tech roles. If you're applying to FAANG or any company using Greenhouse/Workday, Rezi's keyword targeting is the most precise I've tested. The Rezi Score (0-100) is genuinely useful — aim for 85+. Downsides: templates are basic, customer support has gotten worse, no mobile app. Pricing is reasonable with the lifetime option.
Teal — the best job search management platform disguised as a resume builder. The real value isn't the resume itself, it's the job tracker + keyword optimizer + LinkedIn import all in one place. If you're running 30+ applications simultaneously, Teal keeps you sane. Pure resume quality is middle of the pack though.
Kickresume — best balance of design and ATS compatibility in the list. The templates actually look good AND pass ATS, which is harder to achieve than it sounds. GPT-powered writing assistant is solid. LinkedIn import saves time. Weak point: cover letter generator is template-based, not truly AI-generated.
Enhancv — strongest for storytelling and non-linear careers. If you've had gaps, pivots, or an unconventional path, Enhancv's narrative approach beats the others. Watch out: some templates use formatting that breaks certain ATS parsers. Test before submitting to large companies.
Resume Worded — not a builder, an optimizer. If you already have a resume and want line-by-line feedback, this is the most thorough tool I've found. Think of it as a code reviewer for your CV. Free plan is very limited — needs a subscription to get real value.
Jobscan — similar to Resume Worded but more focused on keyword matching specifically. Better for rapid iteration across multiple job descriptions. Less useful for overall resume quality.
VisualCV — ignore for tech roles at large companies. ATS will butcher the formatting. Only makes sense if you're sending your resume directly to a human, not through an online portal. Designers and creatives only.
HAIRED — I built this so make your own judgment. What we do differently: built for European CV standards (photo guidelines, A4 format, multilingual English/Spanish), includes LinkedIn profile analysis, native iOS app. Our data shows users who complete the full ATS optimization flow get 36% more interview callbacks. Weakest on template variety compared to Kickresume. Best fit if you're applying in Spain, Germany, France, or LATAM — or if you want to optimize your LinkedIn alongside your resume.
What actually matters more than which tool you pick:
The tool is maybe 20% of the equation. The other 80% is whether you tailor your CV for each application. Our data on 10,000+ resumes is unambiguous on this: people who send one generic resume everywhere get ~2% callback rates. People who spend 15 minutes tailoring per application get 36% more callbacks. Every tool on this list helps with tailoring — most people just don't use that feature.
For tech roles specifically: the keyword gap between how candidates describe their stack and how job postings describe it is surprisingly large. "Built microservices" vs "microservices architecture" vs "distributed systems" — they mean similar things but ATS treats them differently. Run your resume against 3-4 target job descriptions before your next application cycle regardless of which tool you use.
Happy to go deeper on any of these ATS behavior by company/ATS system, keyword patterns by role, or anything else from the data. This community has given me a lot over the years, trying to give something back.
Mi experiencia buscando trabajo en este mercado fué horrible
Hice un post hace tiempo sobre esto y creo que solo vengo aqui a desahogarme un poco acerca de la situacion laboral actual, hay muchas gente que esta perdiendo su trabajo, e incluso ayer el CEO de Coinbase dijo que echana al 15% de la plantilla,. son tiempo muy inciertos y el encontrar trabajo se hace cada vez mas dificil
Yo estuve como 1 año y medio haciendo trabajos de freelancer de un lado a otro sin que de verdad me pagasen bien y teniendo que pagar una barbaridad de impuestos, entendí que lo mejor que se puede hacer es en verdad trabajar en una empresa que te paguen y eso es lo que te da una "cierta seguridad" pero cada vez apuntarse a eso es cada vez como literalmente aprobar una oposición.
Estuve un tiempo dando tumbos y aplicando a todo lo que veia en Linkedin, que creo que ese fue mi primer error, nadie mira esom y las apps solo ponen sus puestos de trabajo ahi para posicionar mejor en Google..... Eso me dio darme cuenta de que el "hago el easy apply de linkedin ya no vale mas" y empecé directamente a aplicar yo a puestos de trabajo en las mismas empresas, estas si que me contestaban, pero nunca me llamaban, entonces hice una cosa, le di mi CV a chatgpt para que me lo mejorase, si es cierto que la IA funciona, pero no me aclaraba mucho con como hacer los prompts o como se diga.
Tuve que recurrir a herramientas gratuitas diferentes, pero poco a poco iba afinando mi cv y empezaba a ver que me llamaban mas, empece a practicar las entrevistas y eso me llevó a que me sintiese un poco mas comoda en las entrevistas y creo que se empezó a notar, hasta tal punto que cuando llegue a una entrevista ya literalmente me daba igual si me cogian por que lo tenia todo como muy automatizado, pero eso me ayudó mucho a literalmente enseñar mas lo que de verdad podia aportar y a mostrar mi seguridad y personalidad.
con este post lo que quiero decir es que si estas struggling con la busqueda de trabajo y sientes que el mercado esta falta....si lo esta...pero hay salida al final del tunel.
Practica tus entrevistas, crea un buen CV y por favor (sobretodo a las chicas) aunque no cumplas con los requerimientos, pasa tu cv para que pase los ats y aplica igualmente, mi trabajo actual no estaba siquiera cualificada para el y ahiora estoy ganando el doble que lo que ganaba antes.
I never thought being in a calorie deficit would change my life this much.
For context, I’m a woman who used to feel stuck in a cycle of starting over every Monday. I would eat “perfectly” for a few days, then feel like I ruined everything after one bad meal. I thought weight loss meant cutting out everything I liked, doing endless cardio, and feeling hungry all the time.
Learning about a calorie deficit changed that for me.
It made things feel simple for the first time. Not easy every day, but simple. I stopped labeling foods as good or bad. I started looking at my meals with more balance. Protein, fiber, portions, and consistency became more important than trying to be perfect.
The biggest change was mental.
I stopped punishing myself. I stopped thinking I had to earn food. I stopped quitting after one higher-calorie day. I learned that one meal does not ruin progress, the same way one salad does not create progress.
Physically, I lost weight, but that was not the only win.
My clothes fit better.
I had more energy.
I felt less bloated.
I became more confident.
I started taking photos again.
I stopped avoiding mirrors.
I felt like I had control without being controlled by food.
What surprised me most is that a deficit taught me patience. The scale moved slowly sometimes. Some weeks it did not move at all. But I kept going because I finally understood that consistency matters more than speed.
I still eat chocolate. I still go out with friends. I still have days where I eat more than planned. The difference is that I do not spiral anymore.
For any woman who feels stuck, I would say this: you do not need to starve yourself. You do not need to be perfect. You do not need to cut out everything you enjoy.
Start small. Track honestly if that helps you. Eat enough protein. Walk more. Sleep better. Be patient with your body.
A calorie deficit did not just help me lose weight. It helped me rebuild trust with myself.
I’ve been trying to keep my breakfasts simple and track calories better.

Please follow this steps if what you want is to gain muscle, stop doing cardio, It WONT WORK.
I'm a personal trainer, and many people come to the gym without realizing that the glutes are made up of several muscles. So, they usually just focus on one muscle and don't see results. This is because they genuinely don't understand the importance of differentiating between the various muscles.
Don't train your glutes blindly. Always keep in mind that each part of the glutes is different, and you need to work them all. Look at this image to see how you can get rock-hard glutes.
It's also crucial to monitor your diet, which is why I always recommend the Pontefuerte Protein Tracker app. It provides a comprehensive analysis of your nutritional needs.
Most people think muscle gain comes only from lifting heavier weights—but after 15 years in the gym, I learned the hard way that training alone isn’t enough. For years, I struggled to see progress until I discovered the missing piece: tracking calories and macronutrients consistently.
Once I combined structured workouts with precise calorie tracking, my results skyrocketed. In this guide, I’ll share the best apps to track calories for muscle gain in 2025, plus the unique approach I use today with PonteFuerteAI.
Muscle gain isn’t just about lifting weights—it’s about fueling your body correctly. To grow muscle, you need to be in a caloric surplus (eating more calories than you burn), but not just with junk food.
The key is hitting your macronutrient goals (protein, carbs, fats) consistently. Tracking calories helps you:
When I ignored nutrition, it took me years to see muscle growth. Once I started logging calories and macros daily, my progress finally accelerated.
We've analyzed the core principles of muscle gain and created a complete 4-week workout & nutrition guide. Get it for free and start your own transformation today.

Personally, I got frustrated switching between one app for diet and another for workouts. That’s exactly why I built PonteFuerteAI: to combine both in one place.
Here’s a breakdown of the most popular calorie tracking apps—and the one I recommend if you want both diet + training together.
| App | Best For | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| MyFitnessPal | Huge food database | Easy logging, integrations, barcode scanner | Free version limited, ads-heavy |
| Lose It! | Beginners & social users | Very user-friendly, community support | Food database less precise than MFP |
| Cronometer | Precision tracking | Extremely accurate nutrition data (micros) | UI less “fun,” more technical |
| PonteFuerteAI | Muscle gain (diet + gym) | Combines calorie tracking + workout plans in one app; designed by athletes for athletes | Newer app, but growing fast 🚀 |
