Thank you for the comment! Since I'd like to build a platform instead of just a tool. I want to build a platform for people to share their passions. Resume tool is just the begin.
You want a platform, as a user I primarily want a tool, not a platform.
Maybe you got something useful to offer, but you need to demonstrate value first before hassling me with that.
In our job application frontend we don't even require logins or passwords. Only after you have finished your application and confirmed the privacy agreement we send an email with a confirmation link, only then you can add a password to follow the progress of the application, but even that is optional.

I noticed smartrecruiters.com follow this format and it was such a pleasant experience using it.
You probably should be more subtle with the sign up. Get people interested and then soft sell the login. That's how I would do it. With people you have to be subtle. And have to give a lot of value up front before they are willing to let you into their e-mail and wallet.
Nice. Thank you! Actually, that's how CakeResume v1 works. But finally I decide to ask for emails. Now the signup conversion is high in Asia. However, I'll keep in mind and maybe someday change this.
It does a little bit image-heavy. That's how it's different from tons of resume builders you get right now! I want to build a tool to inspire more people to introduce themselves in a unique and vivid way. I want to help people share their passions. It called "CakeResume" because people need resume, but when them sign up for the site, they share their stories (with images and videos)! For example, a barber can share his/her works with images, and financial analysts can share their works with slides.
