Apply HN: Get your CV proof read by others

4 pointsby alouanchiabout 9 years ago
The idea is:<p>1. submit your CV and pay some fees(or find a way to give a reward).<p>2. Someone will correct&#x2F;review it<p>3. Let&#x27;s say others(max 5 persons) give a mark to the final CV<p>4. Iterate 2 and 3 if needed<p>5. 2 and 3 will get a share of the money somehow

I think you have identified a need and not a market.<p>My suggestion would be to charge a lot for the service (and hence be able to pay a lot for the proofing process), but have the payment delayed until the the applicant gets a job. This would align the interests of the proofreader and the CV owner.

My first question is: do you have 1 real potential user that would actually pay real money for this? If so, have you provided the service to them and have they paid? You could do that.<p>My second question: do you have 10 users that have paid for this?

How will you differentiate from and compete against the horde of other proofing services (not to mention the horde of proofing services that specialize in CVs)?
