The tool streams each analysis step's status to the frontend for transparency. It is free to use at career-ready.site and open source on GitHub.", "body_md": "Every time I applied to a job, I'd stare at a JD and a resume side by side, trying to guess which keywords mattered and which gaps would actually come up in the interview. I built **CareerReady** to do that comparison for me, and then let me practice the exact gaps it found.\n\n**Live:** [career-ready.site](https://career-ready.site)\n\n**Repo:** [GiottoPham/dev-career-ready](https://github.com/GiottoPham/dev-career-ready)\n\nBiết mình thiếu gì. Luyện đúng chỗ. Tự tin phỏng vấn.Know your gaps. Practice right. Interview with confidence.\n\n**Live:** [career-ready.site](https://career-ready.site)\n\nCareerReady helps developers prepare for job interviews. Paste a job description and upload your CV — the AI analyzes your skills against the JD, surfaces matched/missing skills with CV quick tips, and generates a mock interview covering the gaps.\n\n| Module | Description |\n|---|---|\nSkill Analyzer |\nPaste or upload a JD (PDF/DOCX) + upload CV (PDF) or enter skills manually. AI outputs matched skills, missing skills (with priority), and CV quick tips. |\nMock Interview |\nTwo modes — Project Deep Dive and Technical Quiz — generated from your CV/JD analysis. Answer via text or voice; AI scores the session and gives feedback with a full transcript. |\nDashboard |\nRecent analyses, mock interview history, and score tracking across sessions. |\n\nNote: there is currently no learning-roadmap generation feature — the Skill Analyzer surfaces gaps…\n\nThe interesting part wasn't the AI call, it was making the *waiting* feel honest. The analyze pipeline is a few real steps — parsing the CV/JD, validating the JD is actually a job description (so someone can't paste garbage and burn a Gemini call), uploading files, then the actual skill-gap analysis — and I stream each step's status to the frontend over SSE instead of showing a generic spinner. If step 1 fails, the user sees *that* step fail, not a blank error.\n\n`/api/*`\n\nso auth cookies stay same-origin across the two hostsIt's free to use at [career-ready.site](https://career-ready.site). I'd genuinely appreciate feedback, especially on whether the missing-skills output feels accurate, and whether the mock interview questions feel like something you'd actually get asked.\n\nIf you want to poke at the code, it's open on [GitHub](https://github.com/GiottoPham/dev-career-ready).", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/i-built-an-ai-tool-that-tells-you-exactly-what-s-missing-from-your-resume-before", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/giottopham/i-built-an-ai-tool-that-tells-you-exactly-whats-missing-from-your-resume-before-you-apply-1abl", "published_at": "2026-07-08 08:37:08+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-08 08:58:56.676166+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "developer-tools", "ai-products"], "entities": ["CareerReady", "GiottoPham", "GitHub", "Gemini"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/i-built-an-ai-tool-that-tells-you-exactly-what-s-missing-from-your-resume-before", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/i-built-an-ai-tool-that-tells-you-exactly-what-s-missing-from-your-resume-before.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/i-built-an-ai-tool-that-tells-you-exactly-what-s-missing-from-your-resume-before.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/i-built-an-ai-tool-that-tells-you-exactly-what-s-missing-from-your-resume-before.jsonld"}}
