Resume Royale

Inspiration

The hiring process is often daunting for job seekers and recruiters alike. We wanted to create an engaging and interactive platform to help users sharpen their resume evaluation skills while learning to identify what makes a strong application stand out.

What it does

Resume Royale is a gamified training simulator designed to teach users how to assess resumes effectively. Players enter the simulator by selecting a job description. Two resumes then appear on screen, and players decide which one to keep and which one to discard. After completing the game, they receive feedback with a percentage score reflecting how many "correct" resumes they kept based on pre-defined metrics.

How we built it

We developed the frontend using React, Next.js, TailwindCSS, and Vite for a seamless and responsive user experience. The backend was implemented with Python and Flask to handle logic, including job description parsing and resume scoring.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge was integrating the backend with the frontend. Misalignments in data transfer protocols and API calls resulted in a lack of communication between the two components. Despite our best efforts, we couldn't achieve a fully functioning product by the end of the development cycle.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Designing an engaging and user-friendly frontend interface.
  • Successfully implementing key game mechanics, including resume comparison logic, on the backend.
  • Learning new frameworks and technologies, such as Vite and TailwindCSS, within a short timeframe.

What we learned

  • The importance of clearly defining and testing API endpoints early in development.
  • Effective teamwork and delegation in high-pressure hackathon environments.
  • How to use design principles to build an intuitive and visually appealing user interface.

What's next for Resume Royale

  • Fixing the backend integration issues to enable a fully functional product.
  • Incorporating advanced AI to generate tailored feedback for users on their choices.
  • Expanding the game with more diverse job descriptions and resume samples for various industries.
  • Adding a leaderboard system to foster competition and engagement among players.
