Live Resume makes PDFs and resume links that never go outdated. Every PDF contains a hidden meta data & pixel that pulls your newest data whenever it's scanned, and your public resume URL always stays in sync. One update → all past PDFs and shared links instantly refresh. No other resume tool offers real-time, self-updating resumes.
👋 Hey everyone, Maker here!
I created Live Resume to solve a problem almost every job seeker faces but nobody talks about:
🚧 The Problem
Resumes become outdated instantly.
The moment you download the PDF, it’s already behind your current skills, role, metrics, or achievements.
You end up with:
- 5–10 different PDF versions.
- Recruiters opening old files you forgot to update.
- Missed opportunities because your resume isn’t aligned with your latest work.
I felt this pain deeply and wanted to finally fix it.
✅ The Solution: A Resume That Never Goes Outdated
Live Resume makes both:
1) A Live PDF
2) A Live Resume URL
And both always stay updated with your newest data.
Whenever you change your profile:
- Every previously shared PDF updates itself
- Every shared URL shows your freshest version
- ATS scans pull live data instead of static content
It’s like turning your resume into a real-time career dashboard.
⚙️ How I Implemented It
I built a system where every exported PDF contains:
- A tracking pixel
- A metadata beacon tied to your resume ID
- A secure endpoint that returns your updated information
- When a recruiter or ATS interacts with the PDF, it fetches your latest data from the server even if the file is months old.
Your public resume link works the same way.
One update → everything syncs automatically.
🌟 Why You Should Use Live Resume
- You never have to worry about outdated PDFs again
- You maintain a single, clean source of truth
- Recruiters always see your best and most recent profile
- Your resume becomes dynamic instead of static
- You can track views, scans, and traffic
- You look more modern, professional, and prepared
In short:
This is the last resume you'll ever need to build.
🙏 Would Love Your Support
LiveResume came from a real pain point and months of iteration.
I’m excited to share it with the world, and I’d absolutely love your feedback — feature ideas, critiques, anything.
Thanks for being here and checking it out! ❤️
Congratulations on your launch. Love the concept of a resume that never goes stale. Super useful for job seekers.
Am I missing something? Tried it out but seems like downloaded PDFs are not updating itself
This is great and solves a real pain point. When do you plan to include a feature where Live resume automatically creates resume catered to a specific job role?
Hi, I love your idea! How about later supporting LaTeX for formatting resumes? A vast number of students near me are using pre-existing online LaTeX templates to shape their resumes, and I think it would be amazing if users could customize the PDF format!
This is such a smart fix - outdated PDFs are a real headache when you’re applying everywhere. Love the idea of a resume that always stays fresh automatically. How does this behave if a recruiter forwards the PDF to someone else later - does the updated data still sync for them too?
