Resume Reader

Inspiration

Our job as prospects in the tech industry sucks, and humour is our coping mechanism to our reality.

What it does

This project allows uploading of pdf resumes on a website, will send it to python, python will scan it, and return if you got the job offer. The job offer is pre-determined by years of experience.

How we built it

We built this project using Python, HTML, CSS, and JS. Also a lot of python libraries!

Challenges we ran into

Using flask and sending data back to the website so we can implement JavaScript to the html.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were able to implement our own sorting algorithms for finding where the experience part started in a resume. Furthermore, we were able to implement front-end and back-end communication via HTTP. Lastly, we had a lot of fun doing this project (we were dancing around once we got progress lol)!

What we learned

How to scan documents using python libraries, using http to communicate back-end with front-end real-time.

What's next for Resume Reader

More complex sorting algorithms (implementing api), User logins, able to define thresholds through the website, better implementation for different OS.
