🚀 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.
