I built a job tool with three rules: it has to fit me, I have to have a real chance, and nothing older than 7 days

Wait 5 sec.

I am a CS grad from London (2026). For the last few months my routine has been pretty simple. Find a junior role, spend 40 minutes tailoring my CV, apply, hear nothing. Half the time the job had been up for weeks before I even saw it, and half of what the job boards showed me was never relevant to me in the first place. So I built the thing I actually needed. It is called FairShot, and it runs on three rules I refused to compromise on: It has to matter to me. Jobs are matched to what is actually on my CV, not keyword spam. I have to have a higher chance of getting it. It ranks by strength of fit, so the realistic ones come first and the long shots do not waste my evening. Nothing older than 7 days. If a job has been sitting there for weeks, it is dead to me. You drop your CV in. For each job that passes the three rules it prepares the tailored CV, the form answers and a short note to the hiring manager. One more rule I was stubborn about: every line in the tailored CV has to come from your real CV. It shows you which line it came from. The AI does not get to invent experience for you, because that will blow up in an interview anyway. You still press send yourself on the original job page. Nothing is auto applied, because I would not trust that either. It is free for job seekers. I kept telling myself I would only buy a domain if 100 people used it first. Last night I bought the domain anyway, joinfairshot.com, because asking strangers to upload their CV to a random vercel link felt wrong. So now I am committed, I suppose. Honest gaps: matching is still rough for some roles, and I have basically no users yet, so I have no success stories to sell you. That is kind of the point of posting here. If you are applying to junior or grad roles at the moment, I would really like to know one thing after you try it. Was at least one match actually worth applying to? If the answer is no, tell me that too, it is more useful than an upvote.   submitted by   /u/daniyalareeb [link]   [comments]
