The Story Behind Your1000Resume

Built to solve a real problem we faced, keeping resume tailoring real, just faster with AI.

The Story Behind Your1000Resume

We built Y1R because we were tired of how resume tools worked. They promised "AI-powered resumes," but what they really did was fabricate, filling pages with vague, unrealistic bullet points.

We wanted something different. Something authentic.

It Started with a Real Problem

As developers and candidates ourselves, we faced the same frustration every job seeker knows: rewriting your resume for every new posting.

It wasn't the writing that was hard. It was the repetition, the manual alignment, and the fear of losing your real voice just to sound "optimized."

So we built Y1R to fix that: a way to move faster without losing the human element.

Paste. Match. Refine.

With Y1R, you can paste a job description or URL, and our AI instantly aligns your existing experience to what the role actually asks for.

It doesn't invent fake skills or rewrite your history. It works with what's already in your uploaded resume, refining, rephrasing, and highlighting what truly fits the job.

In seconds, your resume feels tailored, not tampered with.

Our bullet points aren't bluff; they're built from your real experience.

AI That Assists, Never Replaces

Every suggestion is editable. You can rewrite or remove anything you like. Our job is to give you a head start, not take control.

Because we believe AI should amplify your real experience, not impersonate it.

Your Career, Your Data

You can organize multiple tailored resumes in your Career Bank for different roles or industries. And when you're done, you can delete everything.

We don't train on your data. We don't track your edits. Your privacy, your control, always.

Built for Real Candidates

Your1000Resume isn't another resume generator. It's a system for real people with real experience, built by those who know how tough and personal the job hunt can be.

We built Y1R because we believe technology should empower candidates, not replace them.
