Bugs found in Kickresume: AI Resume Builder for Android
Kickresume: AI Resume Builder is a mobile solution for simplifying the resume-making process. It speeds up writing by leveraging OpeanAI’s GPT-3, which produces human-like texts.
The app offers over 35 templates designed by professional recruiters and typographers. The templates are tailored to the applicant tracking systems and can be customized in any way the user wants. You can also get inspired by resume examples that helped their creators land jobs at big names like Nike, Apple, or Meta.
