JD-to-resume customiser
The assignment
Build a tool that takes a job description and customises your resume to match. Outputs a finished PDF — not a chat-bound Gem.
✳What Sonali shipped
ResumeFit lets users upload a resume and paste a job description to generate a tailored version that highlights the most relevant skills and experience for that role, with a dedicated output panel for the generated resume.
✳Our read on this build
Sonali shipped a deployed web app you can open. This read comes from the artifact and Sonali's own account of it — no scores, just what the build does and does not show.
What it demonstrates
- It reads the posting before it rewrites: tailoring.
- And it is shaped like something you would run again: uploads and paste-in input.
What is not shown
- Whether it produces a real downloadable resume file is not visible publicly, and that is the exact line this quest drew.
Take this awaySteal the framing: the deliverable defines the product. Deciding 'this outputs a PDF a recruiter can open' forces every design decision after it.
✳Why this quest matters
The output format is the product. A resume that only lives in a chat window can't be sent to a recruiter — forcing a real PDF is what turns a nice answer into a tool someone would actually use.
✳What separated the strongest builds
A finished file, not a chat answer
Something you could attach to an application: a formatted, downloadable PDF. The brief ruled out anything that only ever prints text into a chat window.
Matching that has actually read the JD
Responding to that specific posting's language and priorities and reordering real experience — as opposed to sprinkling its keywords into the same resume.
It survives the second job description
A pipeline you can run again on Monday, not one artful manual edit dressed up as a tool.
