Problem
What made this worth building.
I have never preferred spray and pray. I make the effort to tailor my resume for each job application and at times that takes an hour. I don't believe in one resume. Every accomplishment can be framed multiple ways. A project was "scaled a team" or "reduced costs by 40%" or "shipped under constraints" — depending on what the role needs. Doing this manually for every application is slow and exhausting.
Value
What the app gives back.
I built a database of everything I've ever done. Every accomplishment is tagged: what skills it highlights, what persona it appeals to, what type of work it was. Every bullet has an alternate version for different contexts. Paste a job description. Job Goose identifies a persona, matches requirements, and creates a ready-to-send resume. It has guardrails — it won't invent new experiences or accomplishments, but at best reword what's real. I also built a UI to manually select experience and skills and assemble the resume in seconds.
