PivotGuru - Upload your resume and discover new career paths
Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a little project I’ve been working on. It’s a simple AI tool that looks at your resume and suggests some career paths you might or might not have thought about, based on your skills and experience.
It’s still in the early stages (an MVP), so it’s not perfect yet. Completely made with Lovable since I don't have a coding background.
I’d really love if you could try it out and let me know what you think—what works, what doesn’t, or what could be better.

Hi Roshin, I tried this out with a mocked up pdf resume. It's a little slow at least on mobile but it was tolerable while waiting for results. First thing I noticed is the quick suggestions didn't include anything related to my work or experience to pivot or transfer to. The AI should analyze and make it's own suggestions on what is best to pivot to based on what it extracted from the resume. My other suggestion would be to automate the entire process initially and after allowing user input as an option for further analysis and suggestions. You could implement agents in your code to share tasks.
Overall I was impressed with the look,feel and navigation. It was a relatively seamless process. Great job. Keep up the work. You could scale this further. I also think it could be a good and very useful product to launch here on product hunt.
@kristopher_sorensen Hi Kristopher, thank you so much for taking time to try it out. I will definitely try to implement the changes that you suggested and will keep you posted!
@kristopher_sorensen Hey Kristopher, I've made a few major changes to the user journey and the UI. Feel free to check it out and please let me know your feedback.
@roshin_shabu I uploaded 2 mock resumes. The first one with a back ground in manufacturing, auditing, remodeling and the 2nd with background in Host, Food service, management.
I can upload these from my downloads but it errors out if I try to upload from one drive
The UI/UX is way better than the previous version. Great job in those improvements.
When user first uploads a resume and the pop up shows up, the career pivot goals place holder should be an AI generated example suggestion inserted into that field if possible and not an example place holder. If user does not input anything and clicks the AI suggestions, it will use the place holder example information in the goals which will then provide correct results based on that info but not the intended results based on resume information. This leaves me an impression the AI did not scan and save my resume information for later use. If you do not want to change your current method then I suggest you might want to make the career pivot goals input section a “required field” With all that said when AI suggestions are generated based on user input of goals, it works very well. I was impressed with the results. Here is a breakdown of all this not knowing how your scanning resumes and structuring them for analysis.
• Store the uploaded resume in a temp database like json or SQLite as a temp file to read from later
• Use the stored temp data file for AI to create a real example pivot suggestion from the temp file and insert into the example place holder input section or have the AI automatically create real example suggestions on the fly and insert that into the pivot goals suggestions example field.
• If you go with a data base to store temp resumes per user upload, I would also implement a function for the AI model to determine if its really a resume that was uploaded by checking keywords like “Education” “Job History” “Work Experience” etc.
• Make sure when user session ends or they close app that their resume is deleted and a pop up indicating that so user feels safe knowing your not permanently storing personal information on your server.
• Fallback option but not my first choice would be to make that example field a required input field. This is the easiest solution but not robust and scalable.
• Find out why user cannot upload from one drive.
In conclusion, these are just some of the things that can come up when scaling apps from a no-coding tool but I’m sure you’ll figure it out. Remember these are just my observations and was not an in-depth test, so take what you want from it and make it your own. Continue with your improvements. It can only get better…
@kristopher_sorensen Thank you so much for your feedback - I will definitely keep it in mind and will update you when the new version is up.
