January 2026[live site]

CareerMax is an AI-driven resume optimization platform for students and early-career professionals. It helps generate ATS-ready resumes, tailor applications to specific roles, optimize LinkedIn profiles, and find relevant recruiters.

The landing page sets the tone with the promise to "Stop getting ghosted & Start getting interviews" and highlights that CareerMax automatically generates ATS-passing resumes, fixes LinkedIn profiles, and tailors each application to the target role.

why I built it

Job hunting can be demoralizing when applications never get past the Applicant Tracking System (ATS). As a student applying to internships, I felt the pain of getting ghosted. CareerMax was built to solve that problem and help candidates get seen by hiring managers.

  • LinkedIn and job-matching ecosystem. Includes LinkedIn profile optimization, AI resume generation and editing, application-based tailoring with keyword matching, recruiter database access, job alerts, and interview prep resources.

how it works
