I keep noticing the same pattern in people applying for roles: the exhaustion isn’t just from rejection, it’s from repetition. Rewriting the same story again and again, slightly different each time, for systems that mostly reward formatting over clarity.
That’s why I’ve been thinking less about “features” and more about friction. Most CV tools add it. They look generous at first, then lock useful steps behind paywalls or push people toward generic output that sounds polished but says nothing real.
I don’t think people need more polish. They need less drag.
Dossier is my attempt at that: start from the CV you already have, tailor for the role you actually want, keep control of edits, export something clean, and move on. No theatre. No fake magic button. Just a shorter path between “I need to apply” and “sent.”
I’m still figuring out the right shape of it. But I’m certain about the principle: tools for stressed people should reduce stress, not monetize it.
