      <description>&lt;p&gt;Job hunting is a numbers game. You need to apply to a lot of roles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But here's the trap: applying to many jobs with the same generic resume tanks your response rate. ATS systems filter you out. Recruiters move on.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So the advice is always "tailor your resume for every job." Great advice. Also completely impractical when you're applying to 20-50 roles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tailoring one resume manually takes 30-60 minutes. At 50 jobs, that's an entire work week, just rewriting the same document over and over.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What I built
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I got tired of this and built BulkResumes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The idea is simple:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Upload your master resume once&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Paste up to 50 job descriptions at once&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Get back a full pack for every single one&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Each pack includes:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A tailored resume: keywords matched, sections reordered to fit the role, ATS-friendly&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A cover letter: 3 paragraphs, role-specific, written in your voice&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A recruiter email: a short cold outreach message personalised to the position&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All generated in minutes. Export as PDF or DOCX, ready to send.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Why bulk matters
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The key insight isn't the AI tailoring, plenty of tools do that for one job at a time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The key insight is batching.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When you're job hunting seriously, you don't apply to one job. You build a list, research companies, and send a wave of applications. The bottleneck is always the tailoring step.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;BulkResumes removes that bottleneck entirely. You do the research, build your list of 20-50 jobs, paste all the descriptions in one shot, and come back to a full set of tailored applications.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The fit score
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Each pack also comes with a fit score, a breakdown of how well your background matches the role across dimensions like hard skills, seniority, title match, and industry relevance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This helps you prioritise: apply harder to the 80%+ matches, decide quickly on the 40% ones.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Demo
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here's a 2-minute walkthrough:&lt;br&gt;
  &lt;iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tSmdbdZ-iO8"&gt;
  &lt;/iframe&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Try it
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://bulkresumes.com" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://bulkresumes.com&lt;/a&gt; , 5 free packs, no credit card needed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Built with Next.js, Firebase, and the Anthropic API. Still early, would genuinely love feedback, especially on output quality for different industries.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What's your current resume tailoring workflow? Curious if others have solved this differently.&lt;/p&gt;
