 Abstract

A resume is a document used by individuals to present their background and skill sets. A resume
also spelled as resume is also called curriculum vitae (CV). The resume or CV is the first item that
the potential user encounters regarding the job seekers and is mostly used for screening applicants
which is often followed by an interview. The Resume Builder will help users build his/her personal
advertisement using the Resume Generator system. This website is flexible to use and reduces the
need of thinking and designing an appropriate resume according to the qualification. The system is
developed to provide an easy means for creating a professional looking resume. Individuals just have
to fill up a form that specifies questions from all required fields such as personal questions,
educational, qualities, interest, skills, etc. The answers provided by the users are stored and the
system automatically will generate a well structured CV. Users would have the option to create CV
in any format or file.

 Chapter 1-Introduction

1.1 Fundamentals
● User Interface: The user interface should be intuitive and easy to use. It should guide the user
through the process of creating a resume step-by-step and allow them to easily customize
their resume according to their needs.
● Template Library: The template library should include a range of pre-designed templates that
the user can choose from. These templates should be visually appealing and well-designed,
with clear sections for the user to enter their personal information, work experience,
education, skills, and certifications.
● Resume Editor: The resume editor should allow the user to customize their resume according
to their needs. It should include a range of formatting options, such as font size and style,
spacing, and color. The editor should also allow the user to rearrange sections, add or remove
content, and preview their resume before downloading.
● Resume Analyzer: The resume analyzer should analyze the content of the resume and provide
feedback on areas that need improvement, such as keyword usage, formatting, and overall
readability.
● User Accounts: User accounts should allow the user to save their resume, edit it later, and
track their job application progress. The user account should also include a history of past
resumes and allow the user to download their resume in various file formats, such as PDF or
Word.
● Integration with Job Search Platforms: The resume generator may integrate with job search
platforms, allowing users to upload their resumes directly to job postings. This integration can
save time for job seekers and increase their chances of getting noticed by employers.

1.2 Objectives

The objectives of a resume generator are to:

1. Save time: A resume generator automates the process of creating a resume, allowing job
seekers to create a professional-looking resume quickly and easily.
2. Improve quality: A good resume generator will guide the job seeker through the process of
creating a resume, ensuring that all the necessary information is included and formatted
correctly.
3. Increase customization: Many resume generators allow job seekers to tailor their resumes to
specific jobs or industries. This increases the chances of their resumes being noticed by
potential employers.
4. Enhance accessibility: A resume generator can be accessed online from anywhere, making it
easier for job seekers to create and update their resumes whenever they need to. 5. Provide
guidance: A resume generator can provide guidance and advice on resume writing, helping job
seekers to highlight their skills, experience, and achievements effectively.

1.3 Scope

Resumes can also be classified according to different branches and for specific companies. Hence it
has a great usage in long term application as it automatically understands the skills of the student
and can help him in his future interviews so that the interviewers can understand him better. For
example: If someone has more practical experience and less CGPA/Percentage and resume should
emphasize on the project of the person more.

Literature Survey

2.1 Introduction

Long Back resumes were created manually by using MS Word and the format at that time was quite
different. These are the fields that applicants used to mention in their resumes, in personal
information applicants used to write their name, address and phone number. Applicants also used to
mention their personal opinion in their resume. That time applicants used to mention their both early
and recent education details. Applicants used to create either too short or too long resumes because
at that time there were no standards set for ideal length of resumes.

2.2 Literature Review

We referred to different base papers for development of our application. We took some ideas and
information from those papers which helped us to design this application. Some papers we referred
are:

1. Mrs. Mrunmayee Hatiskar, Ms. Arati Tayade, Ms. Rajashree Garud, Ms. Sayali Gardi’s
“Resume Parsing and Standardization Using Semi-Structure Algorithms”. The author says, a
resume can be used for many reasons, but the main reason is used to secure employment. The
resume is personal and academic information of an employee, which a suitable employer sees
related to the job seeker and used to screen applicants often followed by an interview. This project
deals with the parsing application developed for the resumes received through emails in multiple
formats like Docx, Document, text etc.

2. Prof. Gauri R Rao, Ms. Renuka S Anami’s “Automated Profile Extraction and Classification”.
The author says, we are investigating the issues related to the development of approaches to
improve the performance of the resume selection process. We have extended the notion of special
features and proposed an approach to identify resumes with special skill information. In the
literature, the notions of special features have been applied to improve the process of product
selection in Ecommerce environment. In this system, we have proposed an approach by
considering only skills related to the formation of the resumes. The experimental results on the real

The world data-set of resumes shows that the proposed approach has the potential to improve the
12 processes of resume selection.

3. Prof. Satish L. Thombare, Ms. Shweta V. Raja’s “Automated Resume Extraction and Candidate
Selection System”. The author says we collected the resumes from the students of various courses
applying for a job. Students applying for the job will send the resumes in different formats (doc.,
docx, pdf, text, etc.) and the information from all the resumes will be extracted in the database by
using the classification and regression techniques in data mining, and accordingly the students will
be classified according to their qualification. This project is a proposed model to find an appropriate
International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology.

for specific job positions. It analyzes the content of the resume and provides feedback on
areas that need improvement, such as the use of keywords or formatting issues.
 ● User Accounts: User accounts allow users to save their resumes, edit them later, and track
their job application progress. User accounts should also include a history of past resumes
and allow users to download their resumes in various file formats, such as PDF or Word.

● Integration with Job Boards: Some resume generators may integrate with job boards,
allowing users to upload their resumes directly to job postings. This integration can save
time for job seekers and increase their chances of getting noticed by employers.
