Recruiters spend an average of 3 seconds looking at a CV (assuming AI doesn't do it first), which is why I’m sharing this with you:

This is one of the basic structures you should keep in mind when creating your CV, as it’s what recruiters focus on when reviewing it.

That said, there are platforms like haired app or kickresume that automatically improve your CV using AI to help you quickly get past those filters.

I made this quick visual because identifying foils isn't always as obvious as it sounds, especially when you're sorting a big collection or dealing with older printings.

The easiest check is to tilt the card under a strong light. A traditional foil will reflect light differently and usually show a rainbow-like effect, while the regular printing stays comparatively matte.

A few things I normally check:

• How the surface reacts to light
• Whether the artwork or frame has a reflective finish
• The texture compared with the regular printing
• The exact set and collector number
• Whether that specific card actually has a foil printing

It gets more complicated with etched foils and some of the newer treatments, so I wouldn't rely on shine alone.

I'm building Lotus Scan for iPhone to make this kind of collection management easier. You can scan your MTG cards, identify the printing, check prices and keep track of your collection.

Curious how everyone else handles this when sorting hundreds of cards. Do you separate foils first or scan everything and sort afterwards?

I got tired of seeing huge lists with 100+ websites where half of them aren’t useful anymore.

So I made a much simpler one.

Job boards, startup jobs, freelance work + a couple of tools I use for the actual application process.

GetLandeo → applying to jobs
Haired → tailoring the CV / ATS

Nothing fancy. Just thought it might save someone some time.

Anything obvious I’m missing?

LinkedIn is a terrible site where people promote themselves and post things nobody cares about.

Here are a few websites I’ve found that list job openings; they are free to use (though some may charge a fee depending on the country).

The ones I personally like best are:

- Wellfound: You’ll find all kinds of jobs here, but especially at startups. It’s not like the typical corporate job where you have to go through endless interview rounds; often, you speak directly with the founders.

- JobSpresso: Almost all listings here are for remote roles, and they’ve recently opened up positions for Europe and Asia.

- Dynamite Jobs: These are also fully remote companies, focusing exclusively on IT jobs. It’s a great option if you’re looking for a developer role.

- Getlandeo: This site is relatively new. In Europe, it lists jobs at companies like Revolut and other well-known fintechs. It’s just getting started, and the application process involves simply uploading your CV; the system then finds similar job offers for you.

Hopw this helps!

I feel like remote job searching gets frustrating pretty quickly when every search sends you back to LinkedIn/Indeed and the same listings with hundreds of applicants.

So I started checking companies directly instead and put 25 of them into this list.

Not saying they're all hiring right now or that every role is work-from-anywhere, so obviously check their careers pages before applying.

One thing that helped me was tailoring my CV instead of sending the exact same one everywhere. I use Haired for that, and GetLandeo for automating some of the application process.

Anyway, thought the list might be useful to someone here.

What companies would you add?

Hi everyone! Here are some of the platforms used for job hunting, along with reviews of the ones I’ve personally tried. Keep in mind that some of these services might not be free depending on the country, but this has been my experience from Europe.

- LinkedIn: Honestly, this is the worst of the lot. I think you *can* find a job if you’re really persistent with specific people, but it’s more of a social network for showing off achievements than anything else. I don’t recommend it at all.

- Monster: This worked quite well for me, and I landed a few interviews. That said, the site design is terrible nowadays—super outdated. They have all kinds of jobs, which is great, but the filters don't work very well.

- getlandeo: This is a somewhat newer platform. I really liked the automation—you just hit "apply," and it submits the application for you (email and all), unless there’s extra info to fill in. The only downside is that you have to pay (I was pretty desperate back then), but hey, I got my current job at a fintech company by applying through them.

- Wellfound (AngelList): This platform actually surprised me quite a bit; there are lots of startups, and you speak directly to the founders. The hiring process is much faster than average, though the jobs themselves tend to be a lot more chaotic.

- Glassdoor: I used to use this platform mainly to compare salaries, but I recently realized you can find jobs directly on it, too. It’s pretty good and free to use.

- Haired: Just for the record, I created this app. I launched it to help people find work because I was in a tough spot myself a while back. You can upload your CV, and it gives you free tips on how to get past screening filters. You can also download your CV and use templates based on the resumes of people working at Uber, Spotify, and OpenAI—they shared the actual CVs that helped them land those roles.

Hope this helps!

Here are some of the best sites for finding remote work. Keep in mind that some require a subscription depending on your location, and others have changed over time, but I hope they help you find something.

You can also try this approach:

1- Identify the hiring company.

2- Search for it on Google.

3- Check their available positions (or look for a contact email).

4- Email them directly.

We also have a platform that offers free tips for your CV. While we do have a paid version, the tips themselves are free—so if you prefer, you can use them to create your CV elsewhere.

The site is called haired.app. Any questions or suggestions for improvement are welcome!

Good luck with your search!

Hi!

We’ve implemented a free system that lets you test your CV using the Haired app. Simply upload your CV, and the system will provide free tips on how to improve it.

The system will examine how your CV is written, the actionable items, and whether it passes ATS checks.

I hope this helps you land your next job!

Hope this helps some of you to find a job!

Best of luck!

Here are some of the most popular sites for finding a job.

Remember, you have tools like Haired App to build your CV and GetLandeo to apply automatically.

Hope this helps

There is a list of home job boards.

This is a Remote Job Board Site

Hello everyone!

The new version of Lotus Scan is out! Version 8.2 is now available with several improvements over the previous version.

- It now detects cards on any surface.

- Card detection speed has been increased by 42% thanks to tips from the community (thank you very much!).

Export collection to CSV — "Export Collection to CSV" button in the Collections tab (exports all collections together)

Export an individual collection to CSV — "Export to CSV" option in the menu within each collection

New "Editions" tab in the tab bar — lists all Magic sets grouped by category (Expansions, Core Sets, Commander, Masters & Reprints, Draft Innovation, Other), with the visual design you sent but using the app's colors

Pull-to-refresh in Editions — reloads the live set list from Scryfall (fixes the issue where "The Hobbit" wasn't appearing due to caching)

I hope you're enjoying the app, and remember that any changes or improvements you see are always welcome!

Have a great day!

Try this before sending another 20 applications.

Find ONE job you genuinely want.

Open the job description and your resume side by side.

Now check:

• Are the skills they ask for easy to find on your CV?

• Are your relevant achievements near the top?

• Do you show results, or just list responsibilities?

• Does your resume use the same terminology the employer uses, where it's accurate?

• Would you send this exact CV to a completely different role?

That last question is the interesting one.

If you're applying to 100 different positions with exactly the same resume, I'm not convinced sending application #101 is going to fix the problem.

I'd rather test 10 well-matched applications than spray the same CV everywhere.

I've been working on Haired. app partly around this problem. You can compare your CV with a specific job, check ATS-related issues and see where the match is weak before applying.

I'm not talking about stuffing your resume with keywords or inventing experience. The goal is to present the experience you already have around the position you actually want.

So here's the challenge:

Pick ONE job today.

Spend 30 minutes adapting your CV specifically for it.

Then apply.

For people currently job hunting: how many applications are you sending per week, and how many are turning into interviews?

Every few weeks I see headlines saying:

>

I don't think it's that simple.

The way I see it, jobs fall into three broad categories:

High risk

Repetitive, predictable, rule-based work.

Examples:

• Data entry

• Basic bookkeeping

• Level 1 customer support

• Receptionists

• Basic content generation

Medium risk

Jobs where AI will become part of the workflow rather than replacing the person.

Examples:

• Marketing

• HR

• Graphic design

• Junior software development

• Project management

Lower risk

Roles that depend heavily on human judgment, physical work, trust, or empathy.

Examples:

• Doctors and nurses

• Therapists

• Construction workers

• Pilots

• Personal trainers

• Artists

To me, the biggest takeaway isn't "AI will replace jobs."

It's that AI will replace tasks.

The people who learn to work with AI will probably have an advantage over those who ignore it.

The same goes for job hunting.

Your resume will increasingly be read by software before it's read by a human, so understanding ATS systems and tailoring your CV is becoming more important every year. That's one of the reasons I built Haired.

I'm curious where people stand on this.

If you had to pick one profession that will be affected the most by AI over the next five years, what would it be?

I wanted to understand the total value of the trading card game market, rather than comparing the price of one Black Lotus or one rare Pokémon card.

So I made this visual showing the biggest TCG ecosystems:

• Pokémon TCG
• Magic: The Gathering
• Yu-Gi-Oh!
• One Piece Card Game
• Disney Lorcana
• Flesh and Blood

One important clarification:

There is no official “market cap” for each card game like there is for a public company or cryptocurrency

Different reports measure different things:

• New sealed-product sales
• Singles and secondary-market transactions
• Digital products
• Retail revenue
• Estimated value of cards held by collectors

Because of this, market estimates vary widely. Research reports place the total global TCG or collectible card game market somewhere between roughly $7.4 billion and $13.3 billion for 2024, depending on the definition used.

The ranking also changes depending on the country and marketplace.

For example, TCGplayer’s Q4 2025 marketplace data ranked Magic first by gross merchandise value, followed by Pokémon, One Piece and Yu-Gi-Oh!

Magic also had a strong commercial year. Hasbro reported record Magic growth during 2025, including a 23% year-over-year revenue increase in its second quarter.

My main takeaway:

Pokémon has enormous collector and mainstream demand.

Magic has one of the deepest singles markets, supported by Commander, competitive play, old sets and the Reserved List.

Yu-Gi-Oh! remains a huge global game with decades of cards and players.

One Piece and Lorcana are newer, but they have gained market share fast.

I added Lotus Scan to the graphic because tracking individual card prices is still the best way to understand your own part of this market.

With Lotus Scan, you can scan MTG cards, organize your collection and follow its estimated value over time.

Which TCG do you think has the strongest long-term market: Pokémon, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece or something else?
