Resumate

Resumate

Inspiration

Seeing as we're two students in the Business and Computer Science Combined Major, we decided to create something that would tie the two sections together. We know that many students are looking for Co-op opportunities, and so we wanted to help them with the most important step: resume writing.

What it does

Resumate takes in a text or document file and sends it through an AI. It then provides constructive feedback on where you did well on your resume, and what needs to be improved. Finally, it gives your resume a score out of 100.

How we built it

We used HTML, CSS, and JS for the frontend, and Python with flask as well as the OpenAI API for the backend. This allowed us to sync the two together to come up with our final product.

Challenges we ran into

We had difficulties trying to send the data from the inputs to the backend and process them, which took around 2 hours to figure out.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Aside from being first year students, this is our first hackathon, so all in all we're just proud to have completed our project. The fact that we were able to push through with just two beginners is something that we're proud of.

What we learned

We learned how to design a webpage so that it would appeal to customers, without just blocky text. This way, it's easier for users to use and navigate. In addition, we learned how to connect APIs to code, which is something that we haven't done before.

What's next for Resumate

Currently this project is complete. As for the future, we might add a feature that would return the actual resume with highlighted points, which would then be easier for users to follow along with.
