This material is not devoted entirely to how to learn to work - but it is devoted to the automation of an important aspect of work - writing a resume. Writing a resume is quite an important point for the applicant. Many of us do this not very well. Of course, the machine is unlikely to make a resume perfectly - but at least you can look at the structure, design and borrow ideas. In addition, you can publish your resume on the web - of course, this is not HeadHunter, where employers go by the jambs (slightly thinned in the last couple of months), but there is no need to look at the resume when looking for a job. So, my colleagues at Ruformer have found and compiled reviews of several services for automating the preparation of resumes, and I gladly summed them up and presented a short excerpt to the habrasociety.
Staffery Online is, in my opinion, the most useful service for Khabrovsk citizens, because it is not a spherical resume in a vacuum, but a resume for IT specialists. When creating a resume, you can specify your competencies in great detail - how the dialog looks like is shown below. The final resume is posted on the site and at the same time becomes available for download in DOC and PDF formats. Having indicated your skills in such detail, you can hope that you will quickly find a “target” employer - it’s a pity that there is no vacancy section with the same detail.

Crew- service of Kazakhstan origin. Fill in the fields: education, work experience indicating the positions held and a listing of the duties performed, data on language and computer skills, a list of awards and achievements, and you get an accurate PDF output. In the comments on Ruformer, the development team promised to build a full-fledged social network around this function and even threw a screenshot . This idea is already dubious, but a resume on Crew is quite possible. It’s better not to do anything else. A step to the left, a step to the right is a broken link or a section that is not yet open.
The disadvantage is a summary in the PDF, which creates certain difficulties when editing.

GitTide- a more "advanced" site. The basis is the same - you enter data, you get a resume. This time, the resume is posted on the pages of GitTide itself. A funny bonus, which I personally did not find practical application - for $ 5 you can place a video summary. Exporting resumes is in DOC and PDF, but Cyrillic does not work in PDFs. A small problem - you can’t create a resume without filling in the required fields - the system strictly watches. Well, and yet, in my very subjective opinion, they were vainly trying to make a rather stupid flash, because of which they did not give a link to the internal pages.

getCVcreates a resume and places them on his third-level domain. This is very convenient for throwing a link. But, unfortunately, the export is only in PDF, so editing the resume will not work - at maximum print out what happened. An example resume shows how it will look. From the pros - there are statistics on viewing and downloading CVs.
