The problem in their words

People applying for internships and first jobs send many applications and hear nothing back, or only get an automated email saying the company is "not moving forward." Some have strong records, like a 4.0 and prior experience, and still get rejected. They have heard that tailoring a resume with keywords from the job description helps, but are unsure how to do it, and some get ghosted even after a first recruiter call.

If you tested it

A headline for the page: “Get replies to your applications, not automated rejections”

Test first: The riskiest assumption is that people will pay for per-job resume tailoring; a page with a priced offer would show it through checkout clicks or paid sign-ups.

  1. Build a one-page site offering resume review and tailoring to a specific job posting, with a clear price and a button to start.
  2. Share it where students and new grads ask for resume help, such as accounting and sales communities, and answer resume questions there.
  3. Count it as yes if a meaningful share of visitors click to buy or leave their email and a resume within the week.
