Inspiration

Job seekers often struggle with tailoring resumes for ATS systems and preparing effectively for interviews under time pressure. We wanted to build an AI assistant that simplifies this entire process of resume + interview preparation into one seamless experience.

What it does

  1. Users upload a job description (file/text) and their resume.
  2. Our app analyzes both using Gemini AI, identifies missing keywords, and generates an ATS-friendly optimized resume.
  3. After that, the user can choose to continue with “Start Preparation Plan.”
  4. Based on the days left for the interview, our AI builds a personalized prep schedule (from quick crash plans to in-depth roadmaps) to ensure hustle-free interview preparation.

How we built it

Frontend: React.js for file upload, validation, and displaying results in a clean, modern UI. Backend: Django handles API requests, file processing, and orchestrates the workflow. AI Integration: Gemini API compares job descriptions vs resumes, optimizes ATS keywords, and generates customized prep plans. PDF generation: The optimized resume is output as a downloadable clean PDF.

Challenges we ran into

  1. Ensuring accurate keyword extraction while avoiding irrelevant buzzwords.
  2. Designing a workflow that feels simple yet powerful for job seekers.
  3. Integrating file uploads with AI processing smoothly across frontend and backend.
  4. Making the preparation plan adaptive to very different timelines (from 1 day to 30 days).

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Built a working end-to-end pipeline: upload → analyze → optimize resume → generate prep plan. Designed an ATS-friendly resume generator that truly adapts to each job description. Extended beyond resume optimization into AI-powered interview prep, making the solution unique in the market.

What we learned

How to integrate Gemini AI into real-world job prep workflows. The importance of user experience when combining resume scanning and prep planning. Balancing between automation and giving users control over their job applications.

What's next for AI Job Prep

  1. Add AI mock interviews with role-specific questions.
  2. Integrate LinkedIn/Indeed job imports to auto-fetch job descriptions.
  3. Provide analytics and feedback on prep progress.
  4. Support multi-language resumes and global job markets.
  5. Evolve into a complete career assistant beyond just job applications.
