Upload by Jacob

Rezume is a web-based resume builder system designed for university students, supporting the job application process by streamlining how resumes are created and structured. The project is motivated by the difficulty new graduates face when listing qualifications despite limited practical experience, and by findings that many resumes fail to meet company thresholds. The work evaluates existing resume systems, considers ATS-friendly resume requirements, and proposes an implementation using an application architecture and tools that enable template selection and editing workflows.
