Introduction
The Resume Builder is a handy tool that makes creating professional resumes easy.
Available online, it lets users enter their personal and professional details, pick from a
range of stylish templates, and create a polished resume in PDF format. This app takes
the hassle out of writing resumes, combining the ease of digital technology with the need
for a professional document.

Users can easily enter their information, such as personal details, education, work
experience, skills, and achievements. The platform shows a real-time preview of the
resume, so users can see how it looks in different templates before finishing it. Once
happy with the result, users can download their resume as a PDF, which works with most
job application systems.

2. Problem Statement
When it comes to creating a professional resume, job seekers often face a number of
challenges. Traditional methods of resume creation can be time-consuming and
frustrating, with limited design options and the need for specialized software. This can
make it difficult for individuals to effectively showcase their qualifications and
experiences in a visually appealing and professional manner.

While there are many online tools available for creating resumes, they often fall short in
terms of usability and customization. Many platforms offer limited templates and lack
real-time preview capabilities, making it difficult for users to visualize the final product
as they input their information. This can be frustrating for those with limited technical
skills, as manually adjusting formatting and layout can be a time-consuming process.
