Laid off? Get your resume ready this week, built from what you shipped

"I got laid off and need a new job fast."

After a layoff, your resume needs to be ready in days, not weeks, and show what you shipped at the company even without access to its repositories. The way to do it is to recover your work (git history on your machine, PRs, your memory guided by questions) and generate a tailored resume for every job you apply to. Commitfolio does both.

How Commitfolio helps

  1. Recover what you did

    If the code is still on your computer, the browser reads the git history straight from the folder, without uploading code. If it isn't, you answer two questions per role and the answer becomes a bullet.

  2. Generate a CV per job

    Paste each posting: the CV comes out in its language, with its keywords and your most relevant work.

  3. Apply the same day

    A 30-day pass covers several CVs, so you can apply to many jobs without rewriting anything by hand.

In practice

Guided interview answer → bullet
  • What was the problem? "Month-end close kept failing and was redone by hand."
  • What changed afterwards? "It ran on its own in 40 minutes."

• Automated month-end billing close with job queues, eliminating manual rework and bringing the run down to 40 minutes.

Frequently asked questions

I lost access to my company's GitHub. Now what?
If the repository is still cloned on your computer, Commitfolio reads the git history straight from the folder, in your browser. If not, the guided interview (two questions per role) and your LinkedIn description back up the bullets.
Can I use company code on my resume?
You don't need to: we only read metadata (message, date, lines changed, file extensions), never the code. There's also a numbers-only mode for people who can't take even commit messages off the company machine.
Should I explain the layoff on my resume?
No need. Your resume shows what you shipped; the reason you left takes one sentence in the interview if they ask. A layoff is a company decision, not a reflection of your work.
How much does it cost?
Your first CV is free. After that, a 30- or 90-day pass with several CVs, paid once, with no automatic renewal.
