&gt;<i>So you&#x27;re saving and selling my information, then?</i><p>&gt;<i>No. The information on your LinkedIn profile never leaves LinkedIn - except for your email address, which I am saving to use with some features in the future. I won&#x27;t sell it, and I won&#x27;t annoy you with pointless emails.</i><p>I think it&#x27;s important to state this on the front page, particularly by the &quot;No strings attached&quot; section. Many would consider collecting their email an &quot;attached string&quot;.<p>Otherwise, I think this is great -- looking forward to more updates!

Honestly, I&#x27;d rather have my resume turned into my LinkedIn. My reasoning is that when something comes to LinkedIn, it doesn&#x27;t come out easily: it&#x27;s proprietary and it&#x27;s hostile. So it can&#x27;t be where you trust to save your primary data.

It was a sad day when LinkedIn retired the official resume generator. It would be nice if they could at least export some XML for anyone to run with, but I guess its all about locking users into your walled off service.

I highly recommend that you build out more boring themes. Software engineers need resumes too, and interesting looking ones are treated as an expression of creativity. But target demographic for chrome extensions is not on HN, where people care about their privacy, know of a 1000 different ways to abuse trust online, and are capable of creating a custom LaTeX resume if they have to.<p>People in, say, finance would <i></i>love<i></i> to have an easy tool that generates a resume that looks like a banking resume. Your fancy templates are worthless to them - they do not conform to industry standard. I&#x27;m sure a lot of other professions have the same culture and you should do some research in this direction.<p>Otherwise, great product! Wish you best of luck.

Great idea and perfect, to-the-point, snappy demo video!<p>Now if we can only get rid of the &#x27;fill your resume via our outdated ill-designed online form&#x27; anti-pattern that&#x27;s still common in many industries...

On a not dissimilar note, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jsonresume.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jsonresume.org&#x2F;</a> tackles similar problems anl could use some love.

Does LinkedIn have a different policy regarding scraping LinkedIn pages if you are an extension vs. a crawler? I read recently that LinkedIn is fighting tooth and nail to prevent crawlers from scraping their content.<p>Just curious.<p>EDIT: Found this on the user agreement<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linkedin.com&#x2F;legal&#x2F;user-agreement" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linkedin.com&#x2F;legal&#x2F;user-agreement</a><p>k. Develop, support or use software, devices, scripts, robots, or any other means or processes (including crawlers, browser plugins and add-ons, or any other technology or manual work) to scrape the Services or otherwise copy profiles and other data from the Services;

The European Union also has a CV Format, already translated in the 25 (?) European Languages. You first have to enter your resume once (I mainly copy the information I already update on LinkedIn) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;europass.cedefop.europa.eu&#x2F;editors&#x2F;de&#x2F;cv&#x2F;compose" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;europass.cedefop.europa.eu&#x2F;editors&#x2F;de&#x2F;cv&#x2F;compose</a> and then you get a PDF+XML document which you can send to companies or re-upload to the EU website in order to update it. It&#x27;s very handy and would be surely easy to adapt.

My girlfriend is a recruiter and spends a good amount of time formatting resumes of her clients. When I saw this I figured it would be a dream come true for her and anyone in her industry. Unfortunately resumes she submits have to follow a template created by her company.<p>Do you have any future plans to allow customizable resume templates?

Great idea.<p>In the past I’ve used high dpi screenshots and way too much time in photoshop to edit my LinkedIn page into a printable format that feels just like LinkedIn but doesn’t have all the extraneous crap around it you get on an actual printout.<p>People have responded super well to that approach when I’ve handed it out in meetings. All the LinkedIn chrome makes it feel very easy and familiar and authoritatively correct to them.<p>Any chance you could do a theme that’s as close to pure LinkedIn as possible? I basically want the print template that LinkedIn’s site should have rather than the one it does have.

This looks really nice!<p>Still, the geek in me is a bit unhappy. LinkedIn will change their HTML structure in the future, so this software will break. Fixing it is easy---if you have the source code and access to the server. I tend to pick systems that I think might work for a long time, so this is not optimal.<p>Other than that, I personally wouldn&#x27;t like to use LinkedIn as my priamry data repository. They&#x27;re a company and not even the most friendly company at that, so who knows what will happen in five years.

For some reason, it won&#x27;t show my first job. Console reports this error:<p><pre><code> clean.js:53 No Volunteering clean.js:65 No Languages clean.js:111 Removing last job. 9q4fcy0u894wfpt4om65ddw5d:1332 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property &#x27;contains&#x27; of null at s.onWindowClick (ecqz9oxm6n7j7lgxh46b6hgxw:2735) at p.run (37faxrlgmrjbfus14qcvdqns0:3786) at p.join (37faxrlgmrjbfus14qcvdqns0:3788) at Function.u.join (37faxrlgmrjbfus14qcvdqns0:6776) at 37faxrlgmrjbfus14qcvdqns0:6779 </code></pre> Also, if you continue development do please consider a nice way to parse projects! As a programmer, I have plenty of those with outbound URLs.<p>All in all, good work, will definitely use this once I apply for a job!

This encounters a javascript error on my profile:<p><pre><code> Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property &#x27;trim&#x27; of undefined at init.&lt;anonymous&gt; (inject.js:69) at init.&lt;anonymous&gt; (jquery.min.js:4) at l (jquery.min.js:4) at Object.add [as done] (jquery.min.js:4) at Array.&lt;anonymous&gt; (jquery.min.js:4) at Function.each (jquery.min.js:4) at Object.&lt;anonymous&gt; (jquery.min.js:4) at Function.Deferred (jquery.min.js:4) at Object.then (jquery.min.js:4) at init.&lt;anonymous&gt; (inject.js:59) </code></pre> userSummary = $(&quot;.pv-top-card-section__summary-text&quot;).html().trim();

Looks great. I love the styling.<p>As a general feedback: I&#x27;m a bit cautious about using third party Chrome extensions. I&#x27;m more OK with giving auth to my LinkedIn account. Maybe a server side option with headless chrome would be a good addition.

Very cool! I&#x27;ve been wanting something like this ever since LinkedIn removed their export functionality.<p>Only one problem... It only seems to be able to grab my most recent 2 job experience items?<p>I would very much like the ability to configure it so that I could tell it what parts of my LinkedIn profile I wanted it to include instead of just automatically cherry-picking parts of it.

FWIW I&#x27;ve been a happy creddle.io user for a few years.<p>I (used to at least) let me import data from LinkedIn and use it to create a custom cv.

Great project! This will be used by recruiters like myself. Only today I had to send an ugly Linkedin-PDF resume because an applicant didn&#x27;t have anything else. I would have used ceev.io, if I knew about it before!<p>Let me ask, aren&#x27;t you afraid of this: If you get big enough, Linkedin will fiddle with their HTML and your app won&#x27;t work anymore, right?

Works surprisingly well. Just one issue, since I just graduated, I do not have a whole lot of work experience so the generated resume looks empty. It would be awesome if you could use the information in the projects section as well and create a projects section.

I really like it, but it would be good to have an editable version beyond just the text, either with a Microsoft Word or HTML&#x2F;CSS. It would be good to be able to tinker around with the template to personalize it more, such as adding different sections.

Linkedin has a built-in &#x27;download as PDF&#x27; feature that still seems to exist. Doesn&#x27;t create anything nearly as aesthetically pleasing as this - nice work.

Cool, I&#x27;ve just tried. But it produce &#x27;İ&#x27; letter instead of &#x27;I&#x27;. A little more template options also would be great.

Pretty cool. Now I have an incentive to populate my profile beyond the current cache of titles and dates.

Wow, that works really well. It looks a lot nicer than the default &quot;save as pdf&quot; option.

This is really cool and would have been handy for me in the past.<p>But these days, if someone needs my resume, I send them to my LinkedIn page. If they say they need something else, I do File-&gt;Print to PDF on my LinkedIn page. It that&#x27;s not good enough, I probably don&#x27;t want to do business with them or work with them.

Doesn&#x27;t LinkedIn already have this feature? I&#x27;ve used it a few times.

Funny I stumbled upon this discussion because I just used this pretty cool service called HipRez to revamp my plain resume into a resume website. Has definitely been great for getting my foot in the door with job interviews and responses to job applications.<p>Check them out here: www.hiprez.com

Mitch, unemployed loser aspiring to work in Apple... perhaps it&#x27;s satire of Linkedin? Who on earth puts on Linkedin enough personal and career related information to compose an usable CV out of it?
