Resume Scanner App

This web application is designed to help users analyze and improve their resumes. It scans the content of a resume to check for missing sections, formatting issues, grammar mistakes, and keyword matching for job descriptions.

Features

1️⃣ Bullet Points & Contact Information Check

• ✔ Bullet Points in Work Experience → Check if job descriptions use • or - bullet points.
• ✔ Contact Information Check → Ensure there’s an email and phone number in the text.

2️⃣ Section Detection (Must-Have Sections)

Your app can scan the text and check if these key sections exist:

• ✔ Personal Information (Name, Email, Phone Number)
• ✔ Work Experience (Contains words like "Company," "Job Title," "Years," "Responsibilities")
• ✔ Education (Detect words like "Degree," "University," "Graduation Year")
• ✔ Skills Section (Looks for words like "Skills," "Technologies," "Tools")

If any section is missing, your app will alert the user!

3️⃣ Job Matching Checks (Keyword Analysis)

• ✔ Compare Resume to a Job Description → Let users paste a job description and check if important keywords exist in the resume.
  • Example: If applying for a "Frontend Developer" role, check if words like "React," "JavaScript," "CSS" appear in the resume.
• ✔ Highlight missing keywords and suggest adding them.

4️⃣ Formatting & Readability Checks

• ✔ Check for Too Many Paragraphs → Warn if work experience is written in large paragraphs instead of bullet points.
• ✔ Check for Excessive Capital Letters → Avoid all-caps resumes.
• ✔ Spacing Issues → Detect if there are too many or too few spaces between sections.

5️⃣ Grammar & Spelling Check (Using a Free API)

• ✔ Use a Free API like LanguageTool.org to check spelling mistakes.
• ✔ Highlight typos and incorrect grammar in the resume.

Technologies Used

• React - Frontend framework to build the user interface.
• Tailwind CSS - For fast and responsive design.
