Project Overview

Build an AI Resume Builder

Resume Builder GPT is an AI-powered tool I built to make resume writing simple and effective. It guides users step by step through each section summary, experience, skills, and education while providing ATS-friendly keywords to ensure resumes align with modern hiring systems. The app also generates a clear, tailored UVA (Unique Value Add) summary that highlights the candidate’s strengths and professional impact. By combining structure, intelligent suggestions, and real-time feedback, Resume Builder GPT helps users build polished, job-ready resumes without the stress of starting from scratch.

The Problem

Job seekers often struggle to create resumes that are both polished and aligned with modern hiring practices. Many face the challenge of starting from a blank page, not knowing what to include, or how to phrase their experience in a way that stands out. Even when resumes are written, they frequently lack ATS-friendly keywords, consistent formatting, or a compelling summary that communicates a candidate’s unique value. This results in missed opportunities, lower visibility in applicant tracking systems, and added stress during the job search process.

The Goal

The goal of Resume Builder GPT is to simplify and modernize the resume creation process by providing users with a guided, step-by-step experience. The tool helps candidates build polished, ATS-friendly resumes by suggesting keywords, structuring content consistently, and generating a clear UVA (Unique Value Add) summary. By removing the guesswork and stress of traditional resume writing, the app empowers job seekers to present their skills and experiences with clarity, confidence, and impact.
