A new free tool, ResumeMaker.Video, has been developed to help people create short, 30-second video resumes alongside their traditional CVs, aiming to make job applications stand out.
The tool facilitates the process by allowing users to upload their resume, extract the text, pass it to ChatGPT for generating a video script, and record a video based on the script.
Features include a webcam preview, customizable video aspect ratios, and options for users to add a personal touch to their video resumes.
Day 2 focused on developing a teleprompter to enhance the recording process, ensuring comfort and ease for users while recording themselves speaking.
Day 3 emphasized customization options, such as adding user details to video overlays, selecting background music, and designing templates to enhance the overall video presentation.
On Day 4, efforts were made to improve the tool's visual appeal by refining video overlay templates, font pairings, user interface design, and teleprompter functionality.
The final day, Day 5, involved finalizing the tool with a logo, landing page design, multi-language support, and launching the tool as a standalone product with a simple yet effective user flow.
The tool offers a straightforward process of uploading a resume, generating a script, selecting a template, recording with a teleprompter, and downloading the video resume directly in the browser, without requiring signups or logins.
The creator aims for the tool to be a standout product that can assist job seekers in differentiating themselves during the application process.
The tool's launch on Product Hunt on May 2nd marks its official availability, inviting users to explore and provide feedback on the innovative approach to resume creation.
Ultimately, ResumeMaker.Video stands out as a unique tool in the job application market, offering a blend of AI-driven text generation and user-friendly video recording features for enhanced resume presentation.
