Voice-Based Resume Creation
Context
Product: robota.ua
Role: Product Designer
Type: Concept (self-initiated improvement idea)
Duration: ~2 weeks
Tools: Figma, ChatGPT API, Notion
I explored how AI and voice interfaces could simplify the process of creating a resume. The idea was to replace a long, form-based flow with a short and natural conversation - users simply talk about their experience, and the system automatically generates a structured resume ready for editing.
Problem
Many users stop at the resume creation stage.
The form feels long, formal, and time-consuming - especially for people who don’t have a ready-made CV or aren’t sure how to describe their experience properly.
Key observations:
A significant portion of users don’t complete their profiles
Many struggle to describe their experience clearly
Mobile users often abandon the form because typing takes too long
Idea
“What if creating a resume could be as easy as telling your story?”
Users tap “Tell your story,” record a short voice note describing their experience, and the system:
Transcribes their speech using Whisper
Analyzes the content
And structures it into a resume format using ChatGPT, ready for review and editing.
Goals
For users
Reduce the friction of filling in long forms
Save time (5 minutes instead of 20)
Make the process more natural and mobile-friendly
For the product
Increase completion rate of new resumes
Reduce drop-offs during onboarding
Reinforce robota.ua’s image as an innovative platform
Research & Insights
To better understand users’ behavior and challenges, I conducted 30 in-depth interviews with job seekers across different categories - from students and entry-level specialists to experienced professionals.
The goal was to uncover what makes the resume creation process feel difficult or discouraging.
Key findings:
Uncertainty. Many users felt unsure how to describe their experience “the right way” or what recruiters actually expect
Overload. Long forms with multiple required fields caused frustration and early drop-off
Mobile friction. Most users browse robota.ua on mobile, and typing detailed descriptions on small screens felt tedious and error-prone
These insights led to the idea of a conversational, voice-first flow that would make the process faster, more natural, and human-centered.
Process
Mapping the user flow
The flow starts with a single call-to-action — “Tell your story.”
The system asks simple, guided questions and builds a structured resume draft based on the conversation.
UX concept
Clean recording screen with visual sound waves
Real-time feedback while AI processes the audio
Editable resume preview with highlighted fields
AI logic
Whisper for accurate voice-to-text transcription
ChatGPT for extracting key details (positions, companies, years, skills) and formatting them into a resume layout
User feedback
I tested the prototype with a small group of job seekers.
Most described it as “much less stressful” and “more natural than typing everything manually.”
Outcome
The concept demonstrates how voice and AI can transform a typically tedious process into something intuitive and human.
“Voice Resume” redefines how users interact with job platforms — it feels conversational, efficient, and accessible.
