Show HN: SuperCV_bot – Your Personal Job Helper in Telegram

Imagine your resume, LinkedIn profile, and cover letter as your personal billboard. They shouldn’t just inform—they should sell you as the must-have candidate. If your CV is dull and generic, if your LinkedIn is half-baked, and if your cover letter reads like a copy-paste job, your chances of landing that dream role shrink fast. Let’s talk about how to turn these three tools into power moves that get you noticed. You can create a very good resume using this bot - https://t.me/SuperCV_bot

Let’s start with your resume. Ditch the cookie-cutter phrases like “motivated and results-driven professional.” Nobody buys that. Instead, kick things off with a punchy summary—just three or four lines that make someone sit up and take notice. Something like, “A seasoned marketer who tripled conversion rates in a year and was invited to speak at a major industry conference because of it.” That’s the kind of opening that hooks a recruiter.

When listing your experience, don’t just rattle off job titles—tell stories. Worked in sales? Don’t say “managed client relationships.” Say, “Closed a deal with a client who initially refused to even take my call.” Numbers are your best friends: “Boosted reach by 40%,” “Drove $5M in revenue in one quarter,” “Cut a five-hour process down to 30 minutes.” This makes you sound like a real person, not just another resume in the pile. I highly recommend using this bot to help you write your resume - https://t.me/SuperCV_bot

Now, onto LinkedIn. This isn’t just an online resume—it’s your personal brand. The first thing recruiters see is your photo and headline. Your picture should be on point: businesslike if you’re in a corporate field, a bit more relaxed if you’re in a creative industry, but always professional. And your headline? Forget “Sales Manager” and go for something like “Helping businesses find clients—and clients find businesses.” The “About” section is where you bring personality into play.

First-person is the way to go—people love stories. Try something like, “I started out in cold sales, where I got rejected 200 times in one week. A year later, clients were coming to me through referrals.” This makes you relatable and interesting. Instead of just listing job titles, include success stories, links to projects, and testimonials. If you have articles or case studies, showcase them. If colleagues can vouch for your skills, ask them for recommendations. LinkedIn isn’t a static document—it’s your 24/7 networking tool.

Windows

Each story opens in a window holding its article above its discussion; drag the bar between them to share the room differently. A window can be moved by its title bar, resized from any edge, snapped to a half or a corner by dragging it there, maximised, or minimised to the bar at the foot of the page. Use Window > New reader window to open an empty reader, or Story > Open in new reader window to open another reader for the current article. Docked readers keep their articles when you select another story from the sidebar. Minimized readers can be restored and reused for their site. A window's Previous and Next buttons read up and down the list in the same window.

A link in a comment or an article to another Hacker News or Lobsters thread opens that thread in a window too. A link to a single HN comment opens the comment above its replies.

While a story's window is in front, the Story and Discussion menus in the menu bar hold its commands: pinning, Previous and Next story, sorting, collapsing every thread, jumping to the first new comment. Each window also remembers where you were in its article and discussion, so a reload, or Back to a story that Next took you past, finds your place again. Closing a window forgets it.

The whole arrangement lives in the address, so a bookmark or a shared link brings it back, and Back undoes the last change. Moving between Hacker News, Lobsters, their lists, Pinned and Find changes only the list, and leaves the windows open.

The list

The pin at the start of a row keeps the story in Pinned, and the cross at its end hides it. Pinned can be narrowed by words in the title, site or author, by source, and to the stories you haven't opened yet, and ordered by when you pinned them, by points or by comments; the filters are part of the address, so a filtered view can be bookmarked. Scroll past the end of the list to load more. Domain filters, in the View menu, hide every story from a site.

Collections are named lists of stories. Story > Add to collection files the story in front into one or more of them, and the Collections feed shows them all or one at a time; the menu that chooses collections also creates, renames, and deletes them. A note is your own text on a story. Choose Add note in a story's toolbar to write one; it saves as you type. Rows with a note carry the note mark, and the Notes feed lists every noted story and searches the text of your notes.

Browsing view

View > Windowed and View > Classic select the browsing view and save your default in this browser. Window view reuses a reader for each feed. Classic view opens stories and applets as pages. Open as a page is a one-off action that does not change your saved default. Use the Windowed selector to return an article to a window. Direct page links always open as pages.

Applets

The Applets menu in the menu bar holds three tools, each a window of its own. Replies to me takes your Hacker News user name and lists the replies to your last thirty comments and stories, checking again every three minutes while it is open, and marking what is new since you last marked them read. Look up a user opens a profile on Hacker News or Lobsters, with their submissions and recent comments, as a commenter's name in any discussion does; the bar at the top of a profile looks up someone else in the same window, and Back returns to the one before. Who is hiring? filters the posts of HN's monthly hiring threads by the words you type.

They read only what the sites publish to everyone, so none of them asks for a login, and your user name stays in this browser anonymously and is included in retained applet state when signed in.

Find

Find takes any link and lists every time it was submitted to Hacker News and Lobsters, so you can read each discussion of it.

About

YAVCHN never sees your Hacker News or Lobsters login. The discussion is fetched from each site's public API; to vote or reply, follow the link above the discussion, or the arrow beside a comment, to the source's own site. Without a YAVCHN account, your data stays in this browser. When signed in, pins, collections, notes, blocked domains, and retained reading state are stored with your account and synchronized across devices. Hidden stories and layout stay in this browser. The privacy policy has the details.
