🚀 Resume Builder: AI-Powered Resume Generation
🔍 Overview
Resume Builder is a generative AI application designed to create resumes tailored to specific job descriptions based on a candidate's profile. It streamlines the resume-writing process by intelligently selecting relevant experiences, skills, and achievements, ensuring that every resume is optimized for the target role.
🛠️ Core Features
Resume Builder enables users to build comprehensive profiles that include:
📇 Personal Information
- Name, residence, and contact details
- LinkedIn, GitHub, and personal portfolio links
💼 Professional and Academic Background
- Work experience with detailed project contributions
- Education details, including degrees and certifications
🎖 Skills and Achievements
- Licenses, certifications, programming languages, and tools
- Patents, publications, awards, and public speaking engagements
- Personal interests to personalize the profile
📝 Resume Tailoring
- Profile categorization: Student, Entry-level, Mid-senior, Senior management, Executive
- Resume customization based on the job description and profile category
🏗️ Software Architecture
The Resume Builder application consists of multiple components, ensuring scalability and flexibility.
1️⃣ User Interface
A front-end UI enables users to interact with the application. Currently, Streamlit is chosen for its ease of use, but future iterations can integrate more sophisticated UI frameworks.
🔄 REST APIs
Since UI frameworks may evolve, the system relies on REST APIs for seamless interaction. Key API functionalities include:
- Profile Database Operations: CRUD operations to manage user profiles
- Job Description Handling: Updating job descriptions for tailored resumes
- Resume Generation: JSON-based resume creation and modification
- Resume Exporting: Converting resumes into PDF format
🗄️ Scalable Profile Database
The application requires a scalable database capable of storing structured information in JSON format. MongoDB is selected for its flexibility, supporting:
- User profile information (single dict)
- Job applications (list of dicts)
- Stored job descriptions and generated resumes
⚙️ Resume Generation Workflow
The Resume Builder follows a structured approach to creating optimized resumes.
🏷️ Profile Categorization
Candidate resumes are classified into key categories:
- Graduates with no experience
- Graduates with previous experience (initial support for this category)
- Entry-level candidates & junior professionals
- Experienced professionals (initial support for this category)
- Senior & executive management
Each category follows a tailored resume template, emphasizing key information relevant to the candidate's career level.
🤖 AI-Powered Resume Creation
The generative AI performs the following tasks based on the job description:
- Generating a profile headline
- Selecting relevant projects, skills, and tools
- Filtering achievements (publications, patents, talks) that enhance the application
After generation, users can review and modify the resume to refine details before submission.
📄 Resume Exporter
Since JSON resumes are not directly usable for job applications, the Resume Builder converts them into PDF format using LaTeX, ensuring professional layout and presentation.
🎯 Conclusion
Resume Builder transforms the traditional resume-writing process with AI-driven optimization, enabling candidates to create high-impact resumes with minimal effort. By tailoring resumes to job descriptions and career levels, it enhances applicant visibility and competitiveness in the hiring process.
