Key Technologies Used

• Streamlit: For building the web application and providing an interactive user interface.
• PyPDF2: To extract text from uploaded PDF resumes.
• Google Generative AI: For AI-powered resume analysis and suggestions.
• dotenv: To manage sensitive information like the Google API key.
• Pillow (PIL): For handling image files like the logo used in the sidebar.

How It Works

1. Resume Upload

Users upload their resumes in PDF format through the sidebar. The application reads and extracts the text content using PyPDF2.

2. Google Generative AI Configuration

The app uses the dotenv library to load the Google API key from an .env file. The API key is used to configure the Generative AI model.

3. Resume Analysis Options

Users can choose from several analysis types through the horizontal navigation menu:

• Quick Scan: Provides a high-level overview of the resume's quality.
• Detailed Analysis: Gives an in-depth review of content, structure, and ATS alignment.
• ATS Optimization: Compares the resume against a provided job description and gives actionable recommendations.
• Question Answering: Allows users to ask specific questions about their resume or previous analyses.

4. Analysis Output

The app generates analysis results using AI models and displays them in an easy-to-read format. Users receive suggestions for improvement, ATS compatibility scores, and tailored keyword recommendations.
