resumeScorer

Inspiration

Everyone is aware of COVID-19, and as a result of the impact COVID-19 has created, tens of millions of people have lost jobs, just in the United States.

What it does

This program scores resumes which compares it to the job description that they inputted, giving the user some feedback on how good the resume is, scored on a 0-100% basis.

How we built it

We used a library known as SpaCy, which is a Natural Language Processing library that is supposed to compare the keywords between two or multiple things. We used SpaCy for the resume scorer (built-in Python) and the website was built using basic HTML and CSS.

Challenges we ran into

One huge challenge we came across was the embedding the Python Code, into the website. Turns out that, without using Django/Flask, HTML doesn't interact with Python. Another challenge we came across was the NLP program directly comparing words. Meaning, if the user is applying to become a Java Developer, the program would match Java to the resume, and scores it on how many times the word "Java" was used. We had to change that and the domain didn't work, since, no one in our group had a credit card and, since, this program wasn't really simple, time constraint was a big thing.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that this turned out quite nicely, and we are happy that we will be creating a positive impact around the world.

What we learned

We learned to manage time, handle stress, and most importantly, learn about teamwork and giving each other a voice to speak.

What's next for resume scorer

Make it much more high level, classier, and a much better website, a domain, and marketing this website so, real-time users can use this platform. Additionally, we will work on embedding python code directly into the website to make the user experience more smooth and simple.
