Inspiration
Making a resume is hard, so we decided to create Rart to do it for us
What it does
Guides you through the process of creating a resume and adds a "smart" feature to make it relevant to the jobs you apply for
How we built it
Used a linux os to build a GUI through qt designer and PyQt4. Exports the resume to a .docx file using python-docx. Finally compiled the application using pyinstaller in a virtual windows environment (so the exe works on windows)
Challenges we ran into
Being able to create more tabs for education/work. Being able to save the resume and open it again in the application to try more than one job description.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Creating a functioning website and application. Getting python to work with docx. Compiling an exe from a linux environment.
What we learned
Working as a team. Sticking to a project all the way through. Bootstrap, PyQt4, pyinstaller, etc.
What's next for Rart
Creating persistence with your resume (upload an old resume to be run through the "rarter", have the app read the current directory for the resume to automatically be "rarted"), improving the keyword match functionality, reading job descriptions from urls.
