Motivation
When applying for jobs, having a formal and concise resume is crucial for landing an interview. Crafting an effective resume involves two main elements:
- Proper Formatting: Ensures the resume is neat and professional.
- Conciseness and Formality: Keeps the content sharp and professional.
While formatting is often simplified with numerous customizable templates available online, ensuring the content is concise and formal remains a challenging and time-consuming task for many, especially students. However, with the powerful capabilities of ChatGPT—a remarkable tool from OpenAI—this task has been made significantly easier and faster, all while maintaining reliable accuracy.
This project leverages ChatGPT to streamline the resume-building process. It collects the necessary data for a resume and uses GPT to formalize job descriptions. The initial input doesn’t need to be formal; GPT takes care of that.
