r/Rezi

I began using Rezi free today after months of attempting to solely utilize ChatGPT to make my resume get through ATS and land interviews. So far, the parts that I really like are:

- The auto-reformatting (formatting a decent resume seems like it would be so easy, but doing it manually proves to be such a pain, especially when tailoring a resume for each job posting)
- The AI Keyword Targeting function seems to be much better than ChatGPT. In my ChatGPT prompts, I always tell it to try and include keywords that the ATS will look for, and Rezi found many improvements, even on the free version
- The breakdown of the Rezi score. Obviously there are certain insights that I am unable to see with the free version, but the insights that are available help me figure out where to further tweak my resume

- I like being able to enter my information into separated sections and have Rezi create the final draft of the resume for me

I would love to have access to the Pro version, and am excited to see the results of using this tool in my job search.

Thought I'd write here my review as seems an actively monitor sub-reddit....

Positives:

• Has helped me create an optimised CV which I think is a big improvement to my previous CV
• Its basic keyword optimisation tool for each individual job is useful, but could be improved (see below).
• Clean layout and easy to do things
• All in all I think it was worth it to get a better CV and the above tools

Improvement points, and especially when on a subscription model for an amount of time (i.e. not just 'create a good CV and then leave')...

• Unfortunately I have to use other AI agents to create a cover letter because I feel Rezi's cover letter tool is flawed:
  • Forces me to highlight a piece of education. I'm a relatively senior candidate and never bring up education, it's all about my experience
  • Unlike the CV, I'm unable to go in and edit the text
  • Wants me to put in skills. I'm sure, as the work has already been done on the CV side, that this could be input for me automatically, or at least allow me to choose some that have been pre-generated
• Whilst I like the keyword targeting for the CV, I think Rezi could take it up a notch with the analysis of the job description and the CV, and give a better analysis of gaps etc. I used briefly a tool called Resufit which gave a much better CV score against the job role, giving honest and quite detailed feedback about my experience. I seem to just get very high scores in Rezi, with the feedback that my CV is just suitable for every role, which to me must mean the model has a low suitability threshold, because I'm not getting interviews for every role! I decided upon Rezi vs. Resufit because the ability to generate actual output (CV) was better, but the other tool's actual analysis was way better. Maybe something to consider.

Hope this is useful to any readers / the Rezi team!

Hey folks,

I am a software engineer having experience at an mnc in a data-related team (legacy). I have a regular experience of 3.1 years; after that, I have, like, a career gap of 1.5 years from then until now. during this gap, I genuinely took a break; after the break, I tried my luck with Java roles and am currently learning SQL, PySpark, and Azure Databricks. My interest largely lies in writing SQL, and i am currently positioned for data engineer roles. Please advise on how to navigate further. I am comfortable around South India

I've just signed up for three months expecting specific role matches. However, the CV score seems to always be the same and therefore quite generic, not creating a score that matches exactly with the job role. Is this correct?

Recently, I had to update my resume on extremely short notice. I know, I know, I should have been updating it all along. But! Sometimes you get just wrapped up in your career, right?

So, when a new job opportunity presented itself that matched my skills and would have been a huge salary increase, of course I was ready, but the application deadline was that night, and my resume was nowhere near ready for submission. Through Rezi's upload + analysis tools, I was able to update all aspects of my resume to be specific to the job while helping my current skills and experience shine! And the format was 🧑‍🍳 chef's kiss! 10/10.

I can't wait to keep using Rezi to keep things moving smoothly!
