A while ago I was applying as a software developer and doing what everyone says you should do: tweak the CV, send it out, repeat. After a few weeks, it turned into dozens of tabs, multiple CV versions, scattered notes, and “I think I already applied here…?” moments.
The worst part was the feedback loop. I wasn’t learning anything. If an application failed, I had no idea why. If one got an interview, I still couldn’t tell what was different. I needed a system.
So I built Joobee: a small tool that helps me keep job hunting structured and consistent.
I built it for myself first. After I started using this workflow, I eventually landed a job, and Joobee became the system I wish I had from day one, not a guarantee, but a way to stay organized and iterate faster.
What it does (in plain terms)
- Joobee comes with a browser plugin that can scan pages you’re viewing, including job posts on most sites.
- When the page is a job post, the plugin captures the full content and saves it to your personal dashboard (so you don’t lose the link or context later).
- Joobee then analyzes the posting: requirements, responsibilities, keywords, and other details that matter when you apply.
- Your dashboard becomes a clean place to store and revisit real job posts, keep everything organized, and track your workflow across multiple applications.
- From there, you can generate a tailored, ATS friendly resume and other role specific documents based on the saved job post, while keeping everything truthful (no invented experience).
- You can export the final documents (for example as a clean PDF) and keep each application tied to the exact posting it was based on.
Why I’m building it this way
I’m not trying to “beat the system” with hacks. I’m trying to remove noise and make the process repeatable. The goal is:
- fewer mistakes and missed details
- faster applications
- clearer learning from results
Where I want feedback
If you’ve ever built or used a tool for job searching, I’d love your input, especially on:
- what you wish job trackers did better
- how you personally tailor resumes without losing your mind
- what would make a job post scanner actually useful for you

If you don’t, no worries, feedback is valuable either way.
