Roast my landing page!
Hey everyone! 👋
I’ve been on the job hunt for a while, and I was drowning in a sea of job listings, application statuses, and notes scattered across Excel, Notion, and a million browser tabs. I decided to build a tool myself – and that’s how JobListingsPRO was born.
I learned some cool things on the way (Cursor, Laravel, setting up my own VPS)

Why I built it:
I got tired of copy-pasting job listings and losing track of my applications. Sure, there are tools out there, but I loved the process of building something that was tailor-made to keep everything organized in one place.

What it does:
- Save all your job listings in one simple overview.
- Track your application statuses easily (e.g., Interested, Interview Scheduled).
- Fetch job listing info automatically by submitting the URL or pasting page content
- Never lose track of application dates, interviews, or next steps.
- Score your CV against job listings to see where you match (and where you don’t).
- Manage contacts and see who to reach out to on LinkedIn.
About the landing page:
- I went for the classic design (gradient, five stars, big texts, video, arrows with hand-written font, and so on 😁)
- I hope I made clear what you can expect from the tool
- I might need to focus more on the outcome, not on the features
- I have no testimonials yet, but will add those in the future
I’d love any feedback! Feel free to ask questions or suggest improvements.

The product idea itself is very intriguing to me as a potential user. However, the website consists of only a landing page, without a demo or detailed information about how the service works and its creators. Adding these elements could increase trust in the project.
Thanks for your reply! Will think about an interactive demo. Wouldn't be too hard I guess.. Will also add a bit about me!
I like the pencil font instructions, they give a friendly feeling to the product.
if they can be animated can show up when you scroll down, it'll be more engaging. as a user i'll know what to look at, at one time.
Thanks! Like the idea, I will try to implement it
@jasonwu the arrows and texts are now animated!
Nice!
An opinion: The product revenue is something that I find a bit "difficult" as you are asking money to people that has no job. I understand that maybe there are people already working and that they want to change, or the target customer is people with "money in their banks".
Usually, in that kind of market, the ones who pay are the companies, as are the ones who have money.

About the landing, I would try to use phrases such as: "don't miss your perfect job!".
You have "Never lose a job listing again", but I think it should be the main CTA. But you should add more "fear" for losing a job.
That's the key pain point of a possible user. The fear to loose a good job... not just to manage a lot of job listings.
I agree, people without a job might be the hardest target group! But then again, I didn't start this with the goal of earning a lot of money with it (would be nice).
I should definitely look at the texts again. Now it's mostly pointing out the features, but it's not focussing on the feeling (or fear). If anyone has some good resources about writing texts for a landing page, hit me up!
Cool idea Jasper!
Regarding the landing page, I would go with the "bullet points use case above the fold" strategy
Check this twitter.com/NapierHolland/sta…
And this twitter.com/NapierHolland/sta…
And then then a CTA above the fold too
Thanks for your reply Rod, I'm working on this now :)
Hope it works! Wishing you a lot of sells 😀
Can see this being useful for graduates starting their careers or people changing industries. Anything with high volume applications, which is hard to track! Great video demo, making it clear how it works.
The name confused me somehow. JobListingsPRO sounds more like jobs board rather than personal job applications? JobApplicationsPRO or JobTrackerPRO could be more native to understand. Or even MyNextJobListings etc.
Cool addition could be a list of dream companies to apply for, if there are no current vacancies. So could add those links to keep checking or set up alerts somehow.
Good suggestions! To be honest, I was struggling with the name for far too long before launch, that I just went with the first thing that came to mind. I will definitely change it in the future.
I have no experience with high volume applications.. Are we talking hundreds of applications at the same time?
Some apply to hundreds yes! But all depends on a fit / quality of resume, cover letter etc. And some luck of course. Example from Reddit here: www.reddit.com/r/csMajors/com…
