Marlin CV

Marlin CV

A simple resume builder with high ATS parse score

Why this is made

Every job posting has different criteria and requirements. You need to tailor your resume based on those requirements. You need to change your projects, achievements, skills based on those. Also the job responsibilites need to be changed too! Example, you might have different CV for a job posting where Golang is required vs another where the position is based on Spring Boot. In this competetive market we apply for about 30 jobs per week! We needed some fast and easy way to change our resume. Thus Marlin CV was made.

There are countless resume builder present in the web. Majority of them are paid. That still leaves us with some good open source and free builder. They are great but doesn't fullfil all the requirements.
