Applications

Our Resume Maker will be useful in providing simple and professional resumes to our users and to enable those users who have no idea about the format of a resume to also make a resume for themselves.

Future Scope

Our project is primarily made for undergraduate or graduate students to help them make a professional resume. As of now, our Resume Maker app has 4 resume templates for the users. We would like to add more in future. Further, we are working on making the whole app more responsive,easy to use and giving the logged in users the opportunity to edit or download their previously made resumes.One of our future plans will be to have a feature which will ask the registered users to provide the companies they would like to send a particular resume to, and that resume would be sent to the respective company’s mail id by our app.
