Inspiration

It is exhausting applying to jobs as a student. You have to tailor your own resume to every single job application and do it over and over and over and over and over again. Well no longer, with Rapid Craft!

What it does

Rapid Craft app will generate a LaTeX resume based on your inputs, including: your name, degree, email, and previous job positions. After that information is inputted, ChatGPT generates descriptions and skills for what you have entered. This information is then parsed into a LaTeX resume, which you can download as a PDF, print, email to yourself, or edit.

Challenges we faced

Some challenges we ran into were parsing JSON based on user inputs, scaling UI/UX for a desktop interface, setting up a LaTeX template, and using Redux to control and set separate component states for interactivity.

How we built it

This app was built using ReactJS, Redux, TailwindCSS, ChatGPT's API, and LaTeX tech stacks.

What's next for RapidCraft: AI-Powered Resume Generator

Next steps for this project include UI/UX scaling for a mobile device, integrating an account database system using FireBase, Vercel deployment for other students to freely use online, adding more user form inputs to allow for more specificity when generating a resume, and full Overleaf LaTeX editing support.
