A collaborative resume critiquing platform which allows users to upload & share their resume for feedback as well as provide suggestions for others. Simply either log in or register, upload your resume in PDF format, and share your link with others.
When first navigating to the page, it will inform the user to either log in or register as a new user. After creating an account and successfully logs in, a JWT token will be generated for the user's session which will allow the user to access the application and it's features.
Users are able to upload a PDF document, giving a document name and description of their choice. After it is uploaded, it will show up in their list of documents.
From the home page, users can navigate to the list of documents that belong to them to view the document and associated comments.
After uploading their document, users can send their document link to peers. This allows others to view the document and comment their suggestions and feedback.
The frontend of the project is built using React.js and Redux, consisting of while the backend consists of Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB, and AWS S3. It is currently deployed on Heroku.
This project was inspired by an issue I continously ran into when I was helping others edit their resume or having others edit mine. With Google Drive not really optimized for leaving comments on uploaded PDF documents, I often found myself having to send screenshots of my resume through Messenger to others. I wanted to make an application where people are easily able to upload & share different versions of their resume and be able to see all their comments in one place. It was a cool project that allowed me to solve an issue that I was having personally while learning more about the technologies I was curious about learning more in!
