1. Needs/Problems
Many students, job seekers, and professionals face challenges in creating well-formatted and
professional resumes. Common issues include lack of design skills, improper structuring of
content, and time constraints. The Smart Resume Builder Pro aims to address these problems
by providing an automated and user-friendly platform for resume generation.
1. Goals/Objectives
• The primary goals of this project are to:
• Provide a structured interface for creating resumes.
• Automate the 'Profile/About Me' section based on input.
• Allow manual customization of resumes.
• Ensure professional formatting.
• Enable export to PDF format.
• Build scalability for multiple templates in the future.
2. Existing System Analysis
Several existing resume builders are available online, such as Zety and Novoresume. While
they offer template variety, most require paid subscriptions to unlock essential features.
Additionally, they often demand continuous internet connectivity, making them less
convenient. Smart Resume Builder Pro overcomes these limitations by offering offline
functionality, a free fixed professional template, and essential automated features.
3. Features / Scopes
• Form input fields: Name, Email, Phone, Education, Skills, Experience, Languages
• Fixed professional resume design template
• Auto-generated 'Profile/About Me' section
• Manual editing of 'Profile/About Me'
• Export to PDF option
• Foundation for multiple templates in future versions
4. Development Model
This project will follow the Waterfall Model for development. It allows a structured and
systematic approach including requirement analysis, design, implementation, testing, and
deployment.
