r/ResumeTips

Recently got my CV to receive a much better response rate through open source contributions. Disclaimer: it was all AI generated PRs.

So the idea was to contribute to popular open source repositories and then add them to a list of projects I've contributed to in my CV. I used [Probus](https://github.com/etairl/Probus) to automatically detect & create PRs for Vercel's AI SDK (#14751, #14750), n8n (#29405), haystack (#11248) with scanned vulnerabilities. BTW I guess that even using Claude directly might be good enough.

So far I'm seeing very good results in terms of calls back from recruiters that get all hyped up that I contributed to n8n but I do wonder if I'm gonna get "called out" in a live interview with a more technical person..

Thoughts? Is this "ethical"?

Well, actually, there was one reply, but then they wrote back saying they’d responded to me by mistake lol. Was I upset? Very much so. And that’s exactly why I decided to buy a resume, cause, why not? After that, I received interview invitations and  
I’d like to share my experience writing resumes and maybe talk about my experience with services and tools. So, AMA
