How I Turned a Weekend Idea into an AI Career Tool
It’s been a few months since my last post here, and there’s a damn good reason for that.
I’ve been quietly building something that completely absorbed my free time and creative energy, so I stopped working over the content. Still regret about this as I love writing about anything.
Back to the story.
I’ve always wanted to have a personal side project, something I could build in my free time that would truly push me, bring joy, and maybe one day generate some income. Something radically different from spending another weekend watching a series or playing another round of a computer game.
Over the years, I’ve had several pet projects, but I approached them without much structure, without a clear understanding of business value or user problems. They taught me a lot, but none of them really took off. I learned from those mistakes.
This time it feels different.
Now I have a new project that genuinely excites me: LandTheJob.online.
Where the idea came from
It started with a simple realization: how demanding the job market has become, and how much time people now spend polishing and adapting their resumes for every single application.
With more applicants per job and the rise of automated hiring systems, it’s no longer enough to just have a good resume. If your CV doesn’t include the right keywords, you will never even be seen. Automated filters remove many good candidates before a human recruiter ever reads their application.
That frustration became the starting point for my product idea.
I asked myself: what if you could instantly tailor your resume for any job with just one click?
That idea became the core of LandTheJob.
You upload your resume, paste a job description, click Optimize, and in less than a minute you get a CV specifically tuned to that position, fully ATS-friendly and recruiter-ready.
What’s inside LandTheJob
Behind the scenes, LandTheJob runs a small team of specialized AI agents, each focused on a specific task.
One agent processes your uploaded resume and prepares it for optimization.
Another evaluates how well your resume matches the job description and calculates several FitScore metrics.
A third one analyzes the job post to extract key requirements and priorities.
And so on. Orchestrated work of multiple agents.
Together they form a multi-layered process that takes about 30–40 seconds per optimization. You simply press one button and download a ready-to-send PDF.
What’s already working
I’ve built the ability to upload multiple resumes (currently up to five) and quickly switch between them.
The user interface is intentionally minimal: upload, paste, optimize.
On the payment side, I’ve integrated Stripe. For now activation is manual after payment, but it works reliably.
Most importantly, I’ve created a stable system of AI agents that consistently deliver useful results. In many cases, the optimized resumes are good enough to send directly to recruiters, and that feels incredible.
Besides building the core product, I also designed a minimal landing page that tells the story, shows the value, and invites people to test it for themselves.
What’s next
This is only the beginning, and there is still a lot to build.
My current focus is reaching a stage where I can confidently call it an MVP, something I’d proudly put in users’ hands.
The next big goal is improving the prompt logic so it can handle the huge variety of resume styles and job descriptions. There are endless combinations, and the system needs to adapt to them intelligently.
What I feel as a founder
After years of building products for others, this is the first time I’m creating something entirely my own.
It is both exciting and a bit scary, because there is no roadmap and no team to rely on. But it’s also deeply satisfying.
Every time I see a CV optimized perfectly for a role, I feel that the product is doing what it was meant to do. It helps real people get noticed.
That simple idea keeps me going.

This project started as a weekend experiment, and it’s slowly turning into something real.
That’s the most exciting part.
