Resume Generator App Using Python

In this article, we will explain how to create the Resume Generator App using Python. To generate the resume, we will utilize an API and demonstrate how we can easily create a personalized resume by providing essential details. The information includes skills, education, experience, grades, and other crucial details that we typically include in our resumes.

What is the Resume Generator App?

The Resume Generator App is a user-friendly tool that simplifies the resume creation process. It organizes key information into sections such as Education, Skills, Experience, Projects, Achievements, and Other Activities, allowing users to input details seamlessly. This automated approach ensures a well-structured and visually appealing resume, covering academic achievements, professional skills, work experiences, projects, achievements, and extracurricular activities.

Below, are the implementations of the Resume Generator App Using Python step-by-step.

Implement the Logic

In this example, below code facilitates the creation of a resume by interacting with the user, gathering input, generating Markdown content, and converting it into a PDF file using an external API. The script defines a function convert_markdown_to_pdf that takes Markdown content, a file name (defaulted to “Resume.pdf”), and an engine (defaulted to “weasyprint”) as parameters. This function includes CSS styles, specifies an API endpoint for converting Markdown to PDF, and sends a POST request with the Markdown content and CSS to the API. The response is then processed: if successful, the generated PDF is saved; otherwise, an error message is displayed.

Python3

import requests
 
def convert_markdown_to_pdf(markdown_content, Resume_file="Resume.pdf", engine="weasyprint"):
    # Define CSS styles for the PDF
    cssfile = """
                body{
                    padding: 0px;
                    margin:0px;
                }
                h1 {
                color: MidnightBlue;
                margin:0px;
                padding:0px;
                     
                }
                h3{
                    color: MidnightBlue;
                    padding-bottom:0px; 
                    margin-bottom:0px; 
                }
                li{
                    margin-top:5px;
                }
