🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A browser extension that analyzes job descriptions and provides a compatibility score based on the user's uploaded resume.
  2. A platform feature that provides anonymized data on the average number of applications per interview for specific job roles.
  3. A coaching marketplace that connects job seekers with industry-specific experts to review application materials for high-volume roles.
