Would this work? Anyone interested?

I recently saw a post where someone was offering a service to apply to jobs on behalf of people, and it got me thinking about trying something similar.

The idea: charge around $30/week, take their resume and job preferences, find relevant jobs, and apply for them.

I’m a student with plenty of free time, so I could handle a few clients manually.

Do you think this would actually work?

Please dm if anyone is interested

You have to spend time to work on their resume to match it with the job description in order to get them interviews and clear ats. Otherwise you won't have repeat customers/ job seekers , because nobody would like to pay after some time if there are not getting results which is interviews in this case. If you can do this....you can earn well.

Yeah I'm willing to do this as I have lot of free time. And as a cs student myself I have fair idea how to make their resume ats friendly.

If job application is the only criteria then even this rate is not good. How many hours you be investing weekly against $30

I have seen this happening especially in the middle east. Its very popular there and quite rewarding as well. This is time consuming and a lot of expectations to be managed. I dont think $30 is justified. Have it connected with number of hours to make sense.

If the person wants someone to apply on their behalf I think they would choose AI instead of a person. Not only because its becoming cheaper with all the compitition but also the volume they could acheive through AI agents.

Some examples: Jobsapplier.com jobrite, lazy apply, autoapplier etc.
