Project Introduction
JavaScript Code

In today's digital age, having a well-crafted resume is essential for securing that dream job. However, the process of creating and formatting a professional resume can be a daunting task. This is where a custom resume builder comes to the rescue. Imagine having the ability to design and generate your CV with just a few clicks, all within the confines of your web browser.

In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through creating your very own resume builder using the dynamic trio of web development: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Whether you're an aspiring web developer looking to enhance your skills or someone who wants to simplify the resume-making process, this step-by-step tutorial is designed for you.

We'll provide you with the knowledge to construct a resume builder from the ground up and offer you the complete source code for your reference. With this, you'll have the power to customize and tailor your resume builder to meet your unique requirements.

So, let's embark on this exciting web development journey and resume crafting. By the end of this guide, you'll be equipped with the skills to create a personalized resume builder that can help you, and others, put your best professional foot forward. Let's get started!

Source Code

Step 1 (HTML Code):

To get started, we will first need to create a basic HTML file. In this file, we will include the main structure for our resume builder.

After creating the files just paste the following codes into your file. Make sure to save your HTML document with a .html extension, so that it can be properly viewed in a web browser.

Let's break down the code step by step:

1. <!DOCTYPE html> : This declaration at the very beginning of the HTML document specifies the document type and version being used, which is HTML5 in this case.

2. <html> : The root element that contains the entire HTML document.

3. <head> : This section contains metadata about the document and information for browsers. Inside the <head> element, you have:

<meta charset="utf-8"> : Specifies the character encoding for the document as UTF-8, which is a widely used character encoding for handling various character sets.
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> : Suggests to Internet Explorer to use the latest rendering engine available.
<title> Resume/CV Builder </title> : Sets the title of the web page to "Resume/CV Builder," which appears in the browser's title bar or tab.
<meta name="description" content=""> : Provides a brief description of the page content. The content attribute is empty in this case, but it can be filled with an actual description.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> : Defines the viewport settings for responsive web design. It ensures that the webpage adapts to the width of the device's screen.
<link> : These <link> elements are used to include external CSS stylesheets. One links to the Bootstrap CSS framework, and the other links to a custom stylesheet named "styles.css."

4. <body> : The main content of the web page is placed within the <body> element. It contains various elements, including buttons, forms, and sections for building a resume.

<div class="nav"> : This <div> represents a navigation bar at the top of the page. It contains buttons for actions like downloading, saving, and returning to the home page.
<div class="resume" id="resume"> : This <div> represents the main content area for building a resume. Inside it, there's a <section> element with the id "print," which presumably contains the resume content.
Within the "resume" section, there are various sub-sections and elements for entering and displaying information related to a person's resume. These include name, contact details, skills, languages, achievements, interests, profile, education, and a customizable "new section."

5. <script> : These <script> elements are used to include JavaScript files for interactivity. One script includes jQuery, a popular JavaScript library. The second script includes html2pdf.js, a library for generating PDFs from HTML content. The third script includes a custom JavaScript file named "script.js," which contains functions and logic for handling user interactions and resume generation.

This is the basic structure of our resume builder using HTML, and now we can move on to styling it using CSS.

Step 2 (CSS Code):

Once the basic HTML structure of the resume builder is in place, the next step is to add styling to the resume builder using CSS.

Next, we will create our CSS file. In this file, we will use some basic CSS rules to style our builder.

Let's break down what each part of the code does:

1. @import statements :

These statements import external CSS stylesheets from Google Fonts. They load the "Raleway" and "Barlow" fonts with specific font weights and display options.

2. * selector :

This selector applies styles to all elements on the page.
It sets margin and padding to 0%, font weight to 500, and font size to 14px for all elements.

3. body selector :

This selector styles the <body> element.
It sets the background to a linear gradient, centers content both vertically and horizontally using display: grid and place-items: center, and changes the font weight to 450 and opacity to 1.

4. .none and .resume selectors :

These selectors are used to style elements with the class .none and .resume, respectively.
.none sets the display property to none, effectively hiding elements with this class.
.resume styles elements with a specific width and adds a box shadow.

5. #print selector :

This selector styles an element with the ID print.
It sets a white background, padding, and a fixed height.

6. .head, .main, .contacts, and .line selectors :

These selectors style different sections of the page's header.
.head and its children define a grid layout for the header.
.main styles the main section of the header with different fonts and styles for the name and post.
.contacts aligns and styles the contact information.
.line adds a horizontal line with a gray background.

7. .mainbody, .border, .title, .skill, .button, .language, .edublock, and .education-head selectors :

These selectors style various elements within the main body of the page.
.mainbody defines a grid layout for the main content area.
.border creates a vertical line with a gray background.
.title styles section titles with a green-yellow bottom border.
.skill, .button, .language, and .edublock style different content sections.
.education-head styles the headings within the education section.

8. .navbtn and .input-checkbox selectors :

These selectors style navigation buttons and input checkboxes.
.navbtn creates circular buttons with a border and shadow and adjusts their positioning.
.input-checkbox adds some margin to checkboxes.

This will give our resume builder an upgraded presentation. Create a CSS file with the name of styles.css and paste the given codes into your CSS file. Remember that you must create a file with the .css extension.

Step 3 (JavaScript Code):

Finally, we need to create a function in JavaScript.

Let's break down the code section by section to understand its functionality:

1. printpdf Function :

This function is responsible for generating a PDF document from the content of a resume section.
It first retrieves the resume content using document.getElementById("resume") .
It hides all the buttons and input checkboxes in the "print" section by adding a CSS class called "none" to them.
Then, it removes the "none" class from the buttons and input checkboxes to make them visible again.
It defines PDF generation options using the pdfOptions object.
Finally, it uses the html2pdf library to convert the resume content to a PDF document with the specified options.

2. addedu, remedu, addskill, remskill, addLang, remLang, addAch, remAch, addInt, remInt, addsec, remsec Functions :

These functions are responsible for adding and removing various sections (education, skills, languages, achievements, interests, and new sections) to and from the resume.
Each function creates a new HTML element representing a section and appends it to the appropriate container (e.g., "education," "skills," etc.).
Input checkboxes are added to each section to allow users to select sections for deletion.
The rem... functions handle the removal of selected sections and provide feedback to the user through alerts if no sections are selected or if there are no sections to delete.
The saveresume function updates the value of a hidden input field (info) with the current content of the "print" section. This is used to save the resume content on the server or perform other operations.

3. maxNewSection Variable :

This variable is used to keep track of the number of "NEW SECTION" elements added. It is initialized to 1 and incremented when a new section is added. There is a limit of 2 "NEW SECTION" elements that can be added.

Create a JavaScript file with the name script.js and paste the given codes into your JavaScript file and make sure it's linked properly to your HTML document so that the scripts are executed on the page. Remember, you’ve to create a file with .js extension.

Final Output:

Creating a resume builder with React, NodeJS and AI 🚀

In this article, you'll learn how to create a resume builder using React, Node.js, and the OpenAI API. What's better to look for a job and say you have build a job resume builder with AI to do so? 🤩

A small request 🥺

I produce content weekly, and your support helps so much to create more content. Please support me by clicking the “Love” button. You probably want to “Save” this article also, so you can just click both buttons. Thank you very very much! ❤️

Introduction to the OpenAI API

GPT-3 is a type of artificial intelligence program developed by OpenAI that is really good at understanding and processing human language. It has been trained on a huge amount of text data from the internet, which allows it to generate high-quality responses to a wide range of language-related tasks.

For this article we will use OpenAI GPT3. Once the ChatGPT API is out, I will create another article using it 🤗 I have been a big fan of OpenAI from the day they released their first API, I have turned to one of the employees and sent them a nice request to get access to the beta version of GPT3, and I got it 😅

That’s me in Dec 30, 2020, Begging for access.

Novu – the first open-source notification infrastructure

Just a quick background about us. Novu provides a unified API that makes it simple to send notifications through multiple channels, including In-App, Push, Email, SMS, and Chat. With Novu, you can create custom workflows and define conditions for each channel, ensuring that your notifications are delivered in the most effective way possible.

I would be super happy if you could give us a star! And let me also know in the comments ❤️ https://github.com/novuhq/novu

Project Setup

Here, I’ll guide you through creating the project environment for the web application. We’ll use React.js for the front end and Node.js for the backend server.

Create the project folder for the web application by running the code below:

Setting up the Node.js server

Navigate into the server folder and create a package.json file.

Install Express, Nodemon, and the CORS library

ExpressJS is a fast, minimalist framework that provides several features for building web applications in Node.js, CORS is a Node.js package that allows communication between different domains, and Nodemon is a Node.js tool that automatically restarts the server after detecting file changes.

Create an index.js file – the entry point to the web server.

Set up a Node.js server using Express.js. The code snippet below returns a JSON object when you visit the http://localhost:4000/api in your browser.

Configure Nodemon by adding the start command to the list of scripts in the package.json file. The code snippet below starts the server using Nodemon.

Congratulations! You can now start the server by using the command below.

Setting up the React application

Navigate into the client folder via your terminal and create a new React.js project.

Install Axios and React Router. React Router is a JavaScript library that enables us to navigate between pages in a React application. Axios is a promise-based Node.js HTTP client for performing asynchronous requests.

Delete the redundant files, such as the logo and the test files from the React app, and update the App.js file to display Hello World as below.

Navigate into the src/index.css file and copy the code below. It contains all the CSS required for styling this project.

Building the application user interface

Here, we’ll create the user interface for the resume builder application to enable users to submit their information and print the AI-generated resume.

Create a components folder within the client/src folder containing the Home.js , Loading.js , Resume.js , ErrorPage.js files.

From the code snippet above:

The Home.js file renders the form field to enable users to enter the necessary information.
The Loading.js contains the component shown to the user when the request is pending.
The Resume.js displays the AI-generated resume to the user.
The ErrorPage.js is shown when an error occurs.

Update the App.js file to render the components using React Router.

The Home page

Here, you’ll learn how to build a form layout that can send images via HTTP request and dynamically add and remove input fields.

First, update the Loading component to render the code snippet below, shown to the user when the resume is pending.

Next, update the ErrorPage.js file to display the component below when users navigate directly to the resume page.

Copy the code snippet below into the Home.js file

The code snippet renders the form field below. It accepts the full name and current work experience – (year, position, title) and allows the user to upload a headshot image via the form field.

Lastly, you need to accept the user’s previous work experience. So, add a new state that holds the array of job descriptions.

Add the following functions which help with updating the state.

The handleAddCompany updates the companyInfo state with the user’s input, handleRemoveCompany is used to remove an item from the list of data provided, and the handleUpdateCompany updates the item properties – (name and position) within the list.

Next, render the UI elements for the work experience section.

The code snippet maps through the elements within the companyInfo array and displays them on the webpage. The handleUpdateCompany function runs when a user updates the input field, then handleRemoveCompany removes an item from the list of elements, and the handleAddCompany adds a new input field.

The Resume page

This page shows the resume generated from the OpenAI API in a printable format. Copy the code below into the Resume.js file. We’ll update its content later in this tutorial.

How to submit images via forms in Node.js

Here, I’ll guide you on how to submit the form data to the Node.js server. Since the form contains images, we’ll need to set up Multer on the Node.js server.

💡 Multer is a Node.js middleware used for uploading files to the server.

Setting up Multer

Run the code below to install Multer

Ensure the form on the frontend application has the method and encType attributes, because Multer only process forms which are multpart.

Import the Multer and the Node.js path packages into the index.js file

Copy the code below into the index.js to configure Multer.

The app.use() function enables Node.js to serve the contents of an uploads folder. The contents refer to static files such as images, CSS, and JavaScript files.
The storage variable containing multer.diskStorage gives us full control of storing the images. The function above stores the images in the upload folder and renames the image to its upload time (to prevent filename conflicts).
The upload variable passes the configuration to Multer and set a size limit of 5MB for the images.

Create the uploads folder on the server. This is where the images will be saved.

How to upload images to a Node.js server

Add a route that accepts all the form inputs from the React app. The upload.single("headshotImage") function adds the image uploaded via the form to the uploads folder.

Update the handleFormSubmit function within the Home.js component to submit the form data to the Node.js server.

The code snippet above creates a key/value pair representing the form fields and their values which are sent via Axios to the API endpoint on the server. If there is a response, it logs the response and redirect the user to the Resume page.

How to communicate with the OpenAI API in Node.js

In this section, you’ll learn how to communicate with the OpenAI API within the Node.js server. We’ll send the user’s information to the API to generate a profile summary, job description, and achievements or related activities completed at the previous organisations. To accomplish this:

Install the OpenAI API Node.js library by running the code below.

Click Personal on the navigation bar and select View API keys from the menu bar to create a new secret key.

Copy the API Key somewhere safe on your computer; we’ll use it shortly.

Configure the API by copying the code below into the index.js file.

Create a function that accepts a text (prompt) as a parameter and returns an AI-generated result.

The code snippet above uses the text-davinci-003 model to generate an appropriate answer to the prompt. The other key values helps us generate the specific type of response we need.

Update the /resume/create route as done below.

The code snippet above accepts the form data from the client, converts the workHistory to its original data structure (array), and puts them all into an object.

Next, create the prompts you want to pass into the GPTFunction .

The remainderText function loops through the array of work history and returns a string data type of all work experiences.
Then, there are three prompts with instructions on what is needed from the GPT-3 API.
Next, you store the results in an object and log them to the console.

Lastly, return the AI-generated result and the information the users entered. You can also create an array representing the database that stores results as done below.

Displaying the response from the OpenAI API

In this section, I’ll guide you through displaying the results generated from the OpenAI API in a readable and printable format on a web page.

Create a React state within the App.js file. The state will hold the results sent from the Node.js server.

From the code snippet above, only setResult is passed as a prop into the Home component and only result for the Resume component. setResult updates the value of the result once the form is submitted and the request is successful, while result contains the response retrieved from the server, shown within the Resume component.

Update the result state within the Home component after the form is submitted and the request is successful.

Update the Resume component as done below to preview the result within the React app.

The code snippet above displays the result on the webpage according to the specified layout. The function replaceWithBr replaces every new line (\n) with a break tag, and the handlePrint function will enable users to print the resume.

How to print React pages using the React-to-print package

Here, you’ll learn how to add a print button to the web page that enables users to print the resume via the React-to-print package.

💡 React-to-print is a simple JavaScript package that enables you to print the content of a React component without tampering with the component CSS styles.

Run the code below to install the package

Import the library within the Resume.js file and add the useRef hook.

Update the Resume.js file as done below.

The handlePrint function prints the elements within the componentRef – main tag, sets the document’s name to the user’s full name, and runs the alert function when a user prints the form.

Congratulations! You’ve completed the project for this tutorial.

Here is a sample of the result gotten from the project:

So far, you’ve learnt:

what OpenAI GPT-3 is,
how to upload images via forms in a Node.js and React.js application,
how to interact with the OpenAI GPT-3 API, and
how to print React web pages via the React-to-print library.

This tutorial walks you through an example of an application you can build using the OpenAI API. With the API, you can create powerful applications useful in various fields, such as translators, Q&A, code explanation or generation, etc.

Crio Project Overview

1 . Proof of Concept & refreshing your skills

2 . Setting up the project

3 . Developing the React components for the multi-step form

4 . Developing server side logic for handling form data.

You will develop a web application that will auto-generate a nice and properly formatted Resume from the information filled up in a form.

Project Context

Creating a resume is a bit tedious task for any working professional from any industry. One has to keep it short, simple, and with the latest work experience, and constantly update it over a while.

This project will help you through the process that can be followed to build your resume-builder using ReactJS and NodeJS. Implementing the project will give you the satisfaction of auto-generating it on your own and helping working professionals with the same.

Build a Resume-Builder Web App and add it to your resume to get recognized !! Isn't that interesting? Let's get started then!

Project Stages

This project consists of following stages:

High-Level Approach

Create a basic client-server setup of Node & React and install necessary libraries required.
Build a React form by making modularized components using Material UI and React-Boostrap & calling these components in sequence to get required input data to generate resume.
Process the information on the server(Node) and using some HTML to PDF libraries to generate the resume.
Finally, make it auto-download on client side.

Proof of Concept

First validate the idea by doing a low level implementation (Proof of Concept) of the components involved in the project.

This helps you to:

Get more clarity around the unknowns.
Get a better understanding of the stages involved in the project.

Requirements

Visit https://resumebuild.com/ and https://zety.com/resume-builder to get a better understanding about the project idea and its workflow. Also, try generating a sample resume on it.

Revisit the basics of ReactJS and NodeJS to have frustration-free project development (less silly mistakes) and anyways having good and in depth knowledge indeed helps!

Bring it On!

Try sketching a rough UI diagram of your application to be more specific. Develop basic template(s) using HTML & CSS for your project.

Expected Outcome

The main purpose of this task is for you to revise the basic concepts and understanding the workflow of a similar application.

Setting up the project

A well-defined folder structure is an initial step in every project development, which will make the multiple files & folders in your project manageable and searchable. You should always name your files/folders with relevant & logical names. Let's get started !

Let's first setup a server (any web application is always a client-server interaction). Refer to the image below for server folder structure.

Install necessary dependency packages (you may refer and use the ones mentioned below) using npm.

Now, create a react-app using npm.

Refer to the image below for client folder structure.

REMEMBER: You will have to add "proxy" to redirect the URLs to the server you point to. This works in development environment.

After setting up both client and server, your project folder structure should look similar to image below

Setting up a NodeJS development environment
Creating a ReactJS App
Create React app with Node backend

You should be able to set up the project with the required dependencies.

Developing the React components

Developing modularised code makes each module easier to understand, test and refactor independently of others. In this task, you will be developing your own custom components which will be tied together into your root component.

Create your main component say "Resume" component which will call all other components in sequence. Create the state object to store property values inputted in the form which belongs to the component. When the state object changes (user puts in his details), the component will re-render with the updated values.
You need to create some common methods for all components for easy back and forth navigation without the loss of already inputted details.

Build your first component, let's say "Profile" component for inputting personal details like firstName, lastName, email, mobile, personal website link, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.

Similarly create other basic components to take the Education, Experience, Projects and other extra details which you wish to add to your resume.

A sample part of input component you will be developing:

Once, you are done with developing these components, now it's time for an XMLHttpRequest to the NodeJS server for dynamically processing and formatting the resume in the template. To do so, you have to make XMLHttpRequests from browser (Client) side to your server. Explore various methods available to perform this subtask. One simple method is to use axios .

You may refer to How to build React Multi-Step Form for complete understanding & developing of multi-step form.

Create Custom React Components

You need some count/step value which will help will exactly render a particular page/step of your multi-step form.

Clicking on "Continue to Next Step" button will submit a form by default. You will have to prevent this nature of the same. To do so, use preventDefault() method.

You may use following Material UI icons to style the form:

FacebookIcon
LinkedInIcon
DescriptionIcon

You should be able to develop modularized components as well as manage and handle the state properly, also integrating these components.

Developing server side logic

Most of the code logic developed to support a dynamic website must run on the server. Any client-server model is usually a request-response model. The browser either requests for web pages (GET) or sends some data to the server (POST) for performing some action. Most of the websites today on the web have some kind of forms, say for login/register form, contact-us form, feedback form, etc. The data entered in this form is passed to the server for further processing and then perform suitable actions. In this task, you will be creating GET and POST routes for handling the requests and sending appropriate responses.

Create a basic server setup using NodeJS and ExpressJS (as a middleware). Use BodyParser which will parse incoming request bodies in the middleware before the handlers.

You need to create POST route for handling the submitted form data and parsing it properly to extract the actual information.

Now pass the data to your HTML template, properly format it so there are no errors.

The above code block is a part of a sample HTML template. The values like college , toyear1 , qualification1 , description1 are received from the submitted form. You can use template strings which will allow you to embed expressions or variables.

You might have explored various HTML to PDF conversion libraries. Now use it for format conversion. You may use html-pdf which has various customizable options like orientation, format, height, width, pagination, etc. provided.

Now send the generated PDF to the client as the HTTP response. You might need convert the received response to PDF again (if you used axios for XMLHttpRequest), as the file received will either be in the blob or arraybuffer format, so you need to re-convert it to PDF. For doing this, use saveAs library on the client side.

Using axios, you can do it as follows:

Server Side Programming
ExpressJS Server Framework

3 key takeaways

Why including projects in resume sections is important
How to use the Teal AI Resume Builder to list projects on a resume
Inspirational examples of projects on a resume across a variety of professional scenarios

They highlight your skills, showcase your impact, and elevate your professional profile. But where do you include projects in a resume to have the most impact in a way that differentiates you and impresses prospective employers?

Whether you're a freelancer with a diverse portfolio, a professional aiming to showcase your accomplishments, a recent graduate with academic projects, or someone looking to make a career change, effectively showcasing your project experience can distinguish you in a way that helps drive your career.

Why including projects on your resume can make a difference

Including relevant projects on your resume can significantly impact how hiring managers or recruiters view your qualifications. If you're wondering how to write experience on a resume , projects are a fantastic way showcase your skills, creativity, initiative, and problem-solving abilities. And they offer tangible evidence of everything you're capable of while adding depth to your resume beyond traditional work or educational experience.

What kinds of projects should you put on a resume?

Academic projects demonstrate your ability to apply theoretical knowledge to practical situations.
Personal projects reflect your passion, self-motivation, and dedication.
Team projects highlight your collaboration, communication, and teamwork skills.
Freelance projects reveal your entrepreneurial spirit, client management skills, and ability to deliver results independently.
Volunteer projects emphasize your commitment to community service, teamwork, and social causes.
Leadership projects reveal your ability to take charge, inspire others, and drive successful outcomes.

And while most projects contribute to growth through the lessons or skills you’ve learned, the key to including projects in a resume is choosing ones relevant to the job description or industry you're targeting.

Choosing the right projects ensures that those you list resonate with the hiring manager, showcasing your expertise in a way that directly relates to the position you're applying for.

When should you include projects on your resume?

Deciding whether to include projects on your resume largely depends on your professional circumstances and the specific job you're applying for.

So, which professional scenarios would benefit from the impact projects offer?

When you're a freelancer or contract worker

Projects are often a primary form of work for freelancers or contractors. And, if you’ve found yourself in this professional realm, you should prominently showcase them as resume accomplishments within your “Work Experience” section. Think of creating your work experience as a more project-based resume section instead. (Just remember to be mindful of any non-disclosure agreements you may have signed before listing any client-identifying information.)

For example, imagine you're a freelance web designer who completed a website revamp for a client in coffee distribution. In this case, you didn't sign a non-disclosure agreement, so you're free to use their name, metrics, and more. Here's how you would highlight the project on your resume:

Website Redesign: Bigbie Coffee

Created visually appealing and user-friendly website interface featuring responsive design, intuitive navigation, and enhanced branding.
Received positive client feedback on new website's aesthetics, functionality, and improved user experience.
Resulted in a 30% increase in website traffic within the first month of the redesign implementation
Redesign resulted in a 20% increase in online orders and a 15% rise in average transaction value.

When you're a student or recent graduate

Especially if you're a student or recent graduate creating a resume with limited professional experience, showcasing academic projects in a resume can serve as valuable evidence of your skills, knowledge, and initiative—positioning you as a qualified and capable candidate.

For instance, if you've recently graduated college with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, a resume project could look like this:

Senior CS-450 Software Development Project

Developed a comprehensive task management application utilizing Java and JavaScript, allowing users to create, assign, and track tasks, set deadlines, and collaborate with team members seamlessly.
Received an outstanding grade of 99% for the project—showcasing excellence in software design, implementation, and functionality.
Received positive feedback from both professors and classmates on the application's intuitive user interface, robust functionality, and efficient task management capabilities.

When you're changing careers

Transferable skills are the bread and butter of any career changer's resume. They highlight valuable abilities, demonstrate soft skills, and convey knowledge you've acquired that applies to other careers, industries, or professional spaces.

As a career changer, key projects demonstrate transferable skills and showcase your passion and knowledge for the target industry or field you are transitioning into.

Let's say you're shifting from financial services to sales. In that case, showcasing a leadership project, like spearheading a cross-functional team to implement a CRM system that resulted in improved sales processes, streamlined communication, and increased client retention rates, would be applicable. This is because the leadership skills, communication, and problem-solving skills demonstrated in this project are highly transferable to sales.

So how could that look as a project in a resume?

CRM Implementation for Enhanced Sales Processes and Client Retention

Led a team of 10 in successfully implementing a CRM system within the financial services department.
Facilitated cross-functional collaboration between sales, marketing, and IT teams, ensuring smooth adoption and integration within seven business days.
CRM implementation resulted in a 25% improvement in efficiency, reduced manual effort, and enabled teams to focus on client interactions, leading to a 15% increase in client retention rates within six months.

When you don’t have much relevant work experience

If you're trying to create a resume with no work experience or have minimal relevant experience, personal projects can help demonstrate ability, initiative, and dedication.

Imagine you've been out of the workforce for some time. What personal projects might be relevant if you're applying for a job role in software marketing? Volunteering for a school PTO, organizing a fundraising campaign, maintaining a personal blog or website, or creating social media campaigns for various causes are all valuable and relevant in marketing.

So how can you add one of those examples as a project description in a resume?

Culinary Lifestyle Blog: Gourmet Delights

Successfully maintained and curated a culinary lifestyle blog, "Gourmet Delights," for four years, focusing on exploring unique flavors, recipes, and culinary experiences.
Increased website traffic year over year, achieving a remarkable 200x growth in monthly page views and engagement YoY through effective content creation and promotion strategies.
Recognized for consistent updating and high-quality content, leading to partnerships with renowned brands and selection for paid advertisements, establishing the blog as a trusted resource within the culinary community.

When you’re applying for project-based roles

If you're applying for a project-based role such as project manager, coordinator, or administrator, showcasing the skills you've developed by completing various projects demonstrates competence and experience.

As a resume project, this could look something like the following:

Software Implementation - StreamlineX

Led the successful implementation of the StreamlineX software solution, overseeing a team of 10 developers, coordinating activities, and ensuring timely delivery.
Met all project deadlines with 100% on-time delivery, effectively managing project milestones and dependencies.
Completed the project within the allocated budget, achieving a cost savings of 15% by optimizing resources and streamlining processes.
Improved overall efficiency by 20%, as measured by reduced processing time and increased productivity, resulting in a 30% decrease in customer support inquiries

Strategies for listing projects on your resume

Listing projects throughout different sections of your resume can be done strategically in a way that highlights your accomplishments and demonstrates relevant skills in an easily digestible format.

Showcasing projects in a dedicated “Project” section

If your relevant experience is the sum of multiple projects, it might be worth adding a separate "Projects" section to your resume.

Formatted the same way you would a comprehensive "Work Experience" section, a "Projects" section would include:

Name of the project
The organization you were with while completing that project
Dates started and completed
The scope (for example, the size of the team, project duration, or budget)
Any feedback received
Measurable results

Including projects in your "Work Experience" section

When including projects that were part of your work experience, provide clear details of the project's scope, your role, and the outcomes achieved. Think of them as one part of your resume job description .

Be sure to use bullet points to showcase your contributions, skills utilized, and quantifiable achievements.

As work experience, a project would look something like this:

Incorporating projects in your “Education” section

Incorporating academic projects within your "Education" section is valuable if you're a student or recent grad with limited work experience. As a bonus, leveraging this approach can be particularly beneficial when the school projects align closely with the skills and qualifications a prospective employer is looking for.

Highlighting projects in your professional summary

Your professional summary or the "About Me" section on a resume offers a high-level overview of your most impressive achievements.

If you have a standout project that showcases your technical skills, expertise, and accomplishments, including it in this section as an attention grabber can significantly enhance your resume's impact and pique the interest of hiring managers.

Dos and don'ts for including projects on your resume

Now that you know how to add projects to your resume, let's talk about some best practices for incorporating them in an effective, compelling, and impactful way.

Resume project dos

1. Choose relevant projects: Recruiters and hiring managers seek specific skills that align with the role they want to fill. List projects relevant to the role you're applying for can help you stand out as a qualified candidate whose experience aligns with the job requirements.

2. Showcase your role in the project: Were you collaborating with a large group? Leading a team? Exclusively responsible for the project's outcome? Clearly defining your role can offer prospective employers an idea of your abilities, responsibilities, and team interaction skills.

3. Include quantifiable achievements: Showcasing numbers, metrics, and data whenever possible provides a tangible understanding of the impact of your work.

4. Use action verbs: Action verbs and keywords from the job description draw attention to your skills and experiences by conveying a powerful sense of movement.

5. Tailor the project descriptions for each job application: Using keywords and language from the job description not only shows that your qualifications align with a specific role but also conveys your understanding of the role's requirements.

Pro Tip: The Teal Job Application Tracker pulls keywords and other important language from the job description to help you tailor your resume for every role.

Resume project don'ts

1. Don't overload your resume with projects: Listing projects on a resume can be exciting! After all, you're proud of all you've accomplished. But unless you have limited or no work experience, don't include too many projects. It's best to include only those most relevant projects or impressive projects in addition to other achievements and impact.

2. Don't be vague: Using specific details about your role, the project's objective, and the outcome can give recruiters or hiring managers a clear understanding of your key skills and abilities.

3. Don't forget to mention the team size: If the project was a team effort, include the team size to offer insight into the work environment you're accustomed to.

4. Don't neglect the job-specific skills used or gained: Skills are often part of the keywords from a job description, and incorporating them into your projects helps showcase your alignment with the role.

5. Don't skip proofreading: Show your attention to detail by proofreading your projects (and entire resume!) for spelling and grammar mistakes.

Introduction: As placement season of most of the colleges is going to start, making Resume is a very hectic work for all the students.

Also, the data of the user is completely secured and (s)he has to make an account and set their password to access their Resumes at any point of time. As stated above, the Resume is downloadable in PDF format which is quite a unique feature.

PHP server-XAMPP, WAMP, etc. (I used USB Web Server)
MySQL Database – For managing data entered by the user.
Editor – Laravel, Codeigniter, etc. (I used Notepad++)
Other Requirements – HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, Javascript
This Web Application will be used by students looking for internships and placements. As having a resume is compulsory, most of the students will find it very useful.
Students can get their resumes in PDF format.
Data is completely secured. Users can set a password and access their resumes at any time, anywhere.

Link to the website: https://easycv7.000webhostapp.com

Future Scopes

Resumes can also be classified according to different branches and for specific companies. For example:- If someone has more practical experience and less CGPA/Percentage and resume should emphasize on project of the person more.

Conversion of current web page content into PDF format.
Encrypting password for user privacy.
Login and Logout system in PHP.
Making a website compatible to use on other devices.

How to Make Projects on a Resume Look Good (Including Examples)

Whether you’re applying for your first job or seeking a new challenge in your career, there are different types of projects to list that can fit into your application.

Projects on a resume are a good way to highlight relevant soft skills and hard skills. It’s not an essential resume section but it definitely helps prove that you’re qualified for the job even without having years of experience under your belt.

4 Types of Projects to Put on Your Resume

There are 4 main types of projects to put on a resume . Each of these is effective for showcasing your skills as well as traits or qualities that companies may want to see such as a strong work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit.

Academic Projects

Academic projects are tasks undertaken by students or researchers as part of their course. This type of project typically involves the application of theoretical knowledge to realistic scenarios.

Here are some examples:

Dissertations: This is a research project that’s completed by students to achieve their bachelor’s degree.
Case studies: You may have had to research a specific scenario and write a detailed report about it.
Group presentations: Part of your course could involve working as a group to deliver a presentation on a particular topic.
Scientific experiments: Those who are doing a STEM degree may have had to create and test hypotheses to answer questions requiring deep subject knowledge.
Study abroad programs: You may have managed to secure the opportunity at university to study and work abroad.
Design projects: Students in engineering or design-related majors may have had to create a product prototype using a sample client brief.

Freelance Projects

Freelancing is when a company hires you for a particular job as an independent contractor rather than an employee. However, this could also go in the professional experience section, which might be the better option especially when you have no direct work experience .

Here’s a few examples:

Freelance web designers – designing websites for individuals or businesses.
Freelance writers – writing blog posts and social media content for companies.
Freelance video editor – editing YouTube and TikTok videos for content creators.

Personal Projects

These are projects that you undertake in your free time. They’re also often referred to as passion projects because they’re purely motivated by your own interests and personal goals.

Learning a new language
Building a website or app
Volunteering
Writing a book or starting a blog

Work Projects

Work projects are specific assignments or tasks that you completed during your employment at a previous company.

For example, let’s say that you worked as a marketing assistant for a software company.

Your manager assigns you to develop a social media marketing campaign for the company’s latest product release. Now although this can be mentioned in the work experience section, having a separate resume section allows you to elaborate on this project in more detail.

A Note on Confidential Projects

A confidential project is one that includes sensitive data about a company. For example, you might’ve worked on a project related to future business expansion plans. In these cases, double-check the signed work agreements.

But if you’re unsure, the safer option is to leave it out.

Where to List Projects on a Resume

Work experience section.

Mention the project you carried out alongside what you achieved in the work history section . It’s no different than how you would normally write about your previous job position except you’re framing the project as an achievement.

In short, here’s how to write about projects in the work experience section:

Describe your project responsibilities
Highlight the outcome of the project as a result of your own efforts

Now here’s some example bullet points:

Managed a budget of $10,000 and ensured that the digital marketing project was delivered on time and within budget.
Led the CRM project by overseeing the vendor selection process and organizing system implementation.

Additional Resume Section

An additional resume section could be:

Extracurricular activities
Involvement

See the example below.

The heading could also be specified depending on the type of project you’re writing about. See an example of this below.

Projects Resume Section

Lastly, another option is to create a resume section dedicated to listing and describing relevant projects. The header of this section should be “projects”.

How to List Projects on Resume and Make Them Look Good

We’ll show you step-by-step how to create a resume projects section.

We’ll also go through how to describe each project in a way that makes you look good by emphasizing your skills.

Note: If you’d like to follow this process as we’re going through it, sign up here for free . You won’t be asked for any card details – simply enter your email and create a password to get started!

1. Outline the Resume Section Format

Start by considering the resume section format . This means taking into account the following details:

Resume font
Horizontal lines
All caps text

In other words, outline how you’re going to structure the projects section of your resume.

2. Enter the Resume Section Header

The header of your coursework section should either be “coursework” or “relevant coursework.”

Use bold text for the resume section header so that it’s easy to find for the hiring manager. Feel free to also add a bold horizontal line to make this stand out.

See the examples below.

3. Enter the Subheaders

Include the following details as subheaders:

Project name
Organization
Start and end date of project

This is how it looks from inside Rezi’s resume builder:

4. Describe Your Responsibilities

Inside Rezi’s resume builder in the projects section, the last box is where you write bullet points describing what you did.

Now, there’s a few things to keep in mind to write bullet points about your projects in a way that impress hiring managers.

Start Your Sentences With Clear Verbs

Weak verbs are vague and overused. In contrast, strong verbs are specific. They make your contributions and actions clear, which highlights the impact that you’ve made.

Examples of good verbs include:

Accelerated
Transformed

Examples of generic verbs include:

Highlight Your Achievements

The first half of your bullet point is where you describe a responsibility. The other half is where you highlight the outcome that was achieved because of how well you carried out that responsibility.

Now imagine that the project you’re writing about was the development of a new software app.

Here’s some example bullet points to highlight your achievements:

Led a team of 5 developers and managed project timelines and budgets.
Utilized Agile project management methodology to improve project efficiency by 30%.

On the other hand, you could highlight relevant skills that you learned or developed by writing bullet points such as:

Developed strong communication skills by working with cross-functional teams.
Demonstrated strong leadership skills by motivating and coaching team members.

Use Numbers and Jargon Naturally

Let’s refer to the software developer resume example that helped one of our users secure a job interview with HubSpot.

The key takeaway? Use technical language naturally and be as specific as you can when describing your responsibilities by using numbers. Jargon is generally okay as long as you’re not rinsing out buzzwords throughout your application or forcing them in bullet points where it doesn’t flow well.

Tailor It to the Job Description

Match the company’s job description to position yourself as an ideal candidate with relevant experience.

Use resume keywords
Include projects that are closely similar to the responsibilities of the job position
Embed the company’s values and terminology in a bullet point or two
Showcase desirable skills and traits that were listed on the job ad

1 Bullet Point Can Be Enough

A single bullet point can be more than enough like the robotics engineer resume sample below.

Here’s a few reasons why you might only need one bullet point:

Emphasis: a single bullet point makes what you’ve written stand out.
Space: to give space to other sections that are more important while maintaining a one-page resume .
Unnecessary: the other bullet points that you might write about the project aren’t as relevant.

Use Rezi’s AI Resume Writer

You probably might’ve noticed that there’s a “generate bullet” button inside our resume builder for the projects section. After entering your project title, click this button to use our AI writer to draft bullet points for you based on the best resume writing practices.

Then, either add it to your resume by clicking “apply suggestion” or click “AI writer generate” to try again.

Watch the short clip below to see how our AI writer works.

5. Get Feedback Using the Content Analysis Feature

The final step is to head over to the “finish up” tab where you can see the entire resume you created so far with Rezi.

Select “explore my rezi score.”

This resume checker tool gives you content and format suggestions to improve your application. Feel free to make adjustments based on the feedback provided.

When to Include Projects On Your Resume

The goal of showcasing past projects is to highlight transferable skills to hiring managers. That said, there are 4 ideal scenarios for when to list your projects on a resume.

It’s Directly Related to the Job Responsibilities

Let’s say you’re applying for an entry-level web developer job position.

A personal project you might’ve worked on in your spare time was building a website purely with HTML. This would be worth mentioning on your resume because it shows that you have hands-on experience with a primary task.

You Have Little to No Work Experience in the Role

Projects are good to include especially when:

You’re a recent college graduate applying for entry-level roles
You’re writing an internship resume
You’re making a significant career change

Although you may not have experience in the field, listing projects helps highlight that you’re still a good match for the job.

To Replace Outdated Work Experience

Writing about a recent project that showcases relevant skills is more impressive than an irrelevant job title from more than 5 or 10 years ago. In other words, use projects to replace outdated information.

Here’s a good example below from the product marketing manager resume .

You Have Employment Gaps

Employment gaps raise questions. Still, reassure recruiters that you’ve still got it. Reinforce your track record and prove that your skills haven't collected dust by describing the projects that you’ve been working on.

When to Not Include Projects on a Resume

These are common mistakes . If you find yourself in any of these situations, refrain from using a projects section.

You Have More Direct Work Experience to List

Employers are usually more interested in reviewing your professional work history than past projects. So if you had a previous job that’s directly related to the role you’re applying for, it’s worth including this on your resume instead of a project.

You Already Have 3 Projects Listed

Having too many projects strips away the focus from your actual work experience. This may not leave the best first impression, especially when applying for roles that require at least 2 years of experience.

The only time this doesn’t apply is when you’re applying for an internship role or entry-level job .

The Projects Are Outdated

Projects are outdated when they go as far back on your background as 10+ years ago. Although it could highlight passion and work ethic, it wouldn’t be as effective compared to describing a project completed a few months ago.

If you decide you still want to mention the project, there are 2 alternatives:

Bring it up on your cover letter instead of your resume
Omit the dates

Software Engineer Intern Resume

Either create a dedicated projects section or mention it in another relevant resume section.

When you’re writing about paid projects, consider listing them in the work experience section instead. And if you have too many projects to put on a resume, include a portfolio or website link.

Summary. To put projects on your traditional chronological resume , include a separate projects section beneath the education or work experience section. In a project based resume, rename the work experience section to be named “projects” and you can avoid the standard chronological resume format and instead focus on your most relevant projects and professional skills.

No matter where you are in your career journey, adding projects to your resume can highlight your key qualifications and help your application make more of an impression.

In this article, you’ll learn how to add projects to your resume and when it’s a good idea to take this route.

Key Takeaways

You can work projects into your work history section, organize your resume around your projects, or create a separate section for your projects.

You should list your most relevant projects first and leave off any irrelevant projects.

Freelancers, entry-level job candidates, and people who are changing career paths could benefit most from project-based resumes.

How to List Projects on a Resume

Examples of ways to list projects on a resume, tips for listing projects on a resume, why should you put projects on a resume, what is a project-based resume, who should use project-based resumes, putting projects on a resume faq, final thoughts.

To list projects on a traditional chronological resume , you should include a separate projects section beneath the education or work experience portion of your professional resume. This can be easily accomplished by including a “key projects” section below the bullets detailing your previous job responsibilities and accomplishments.

Listing projects on a traditional date-ordered resume can be a great option for professionals who want to showcase their project management expertise while also detailing their prior work titles and chronological job experience.

If you’re looking to ditch your traditional chronological resume altogether, a project-based resume is a great way of showcasing your most desirable professional skills outside of the tight confines of a standard cookie-cutter resume that lists your work experience in reverse chronological order.

By renaming the “work experience” section of your resume to “projects,” you can easily avoid the standard chronological resume format and instead focus on your most relevant projects and professional skills. This unique structure focuses more on practical, hands-on experience and less on how long you held a certain job title.

To list projects on a resume:

Contextualize the project’s details. You don’t want each project to take up too much space, but you do need to describe the key who, what, where, when, and why of the story. Most importantly, bring in numbers as often as possible.

Highlight your accomplishments. “Ideally, your resume is a list of achievements,” says resume expert Don Pippin . When describing your projects, be sure that the direct impact that you had on the end result is apparent.

Tailor your resume for each job. Again, this applies to all resumes, not just project-based ones. In the context of projects, though, be sure to think about how each entry relates to the specific job you’re applying for.

Provide examples. If you’re emailing your resume, including some hyperlinks to documents relating to past projects can be really impactful. Not only can the hiring manager see the results of your work, but also how you and your team approached projects in general.

Below are three examples of ways you can list projects on your professional resume or CV . Using these examples as a template when writing your job-specific resume can help you advance in the hiring process and land the job of your dreams.

Listing Projects in the Education Section of Your Chronological Resume Example:

Education Massachusetts Institute of Technology | Cambridge, Massachusetts B.S. in Mechanical Engineering , May 2020 | GPA: 3.8 Key Projects: Led a team of three engineering students to execute blueprints and coordinate the production of state-of-the-art air filtration systems for the university hospital. Production and installation came in 12% under budget and were completed 2 weeks ahead of schedule.

Listing Projects Below Previous Job Responsibilities and Work Descriptions in Your Chronological Resume Example:

Work Experience Sales Associate Baker Technologies | March 2019-present Drove revenue by 13% year-over-year by initiating increased customer engagement policy Oversaw a team of five cashiers, who collectively processed average credit card and cash payments of over $20,000 daily Key Projects: Worked with a software developer to redesign and launch Baker Technologies’ online marketplace, resulting in a $2 million increase in profits for 2019.

Listing Projects in a Projects Section of Your Project-Based Resume Example:

Professional Project Highlights App Development Camping With Oliver , July 2020-November 2020 Developed and coded a complex app, compatible with iPhone and Android devices, designed to help hikers locate free campsites in their area. Increased digital revenue stream by 55% following launch Private Web Design Bobbi’s Bakery , January 2021-March 2021 Built a multifunctional website with a complex ordering system using HTLM 5, CSS, and bug-free code Managed all custom graphics, page composition, and branding for this client, leading to a 30% Q/Q jump in sales

If it’s your first time listing projects on a resume or ditching your traditional chronological resume or project-based one, there are a few things you need to keep in mind to craft an effective resume and impress hiring managers.

By following these five tips, you’ll be able to perfectly listing projects on your professional resume and allow your key skills and job qualifications to shine.

Lead with the most relevant projects. One of the biggest advantages of a project-based resume is having the ability to list your work experiences and skills in order of the most relevant projects, instead of arranging them chronologically.

Highlight leadership and job-specific skills. If you’re listing projects on your resume, it’s important to be deliberate and meticulous in the projects you include. Your project list should be presentable, professional, and perfectly convey your leadership and job-specific skills.

Show how you achieve results and meet company goals. Another substantial perk of listing projects on your resume is the ability to clearly illustrate and verify how you are results-driven and ready to meet company goals.

Illustrate how your experiences align with company values. Not only is it important to showcase the skills and qualifications required for a job opening, but it’s also essential to illustrate how your work style and professional goals align with the values a company prides itself on.

Keep project descriptions short. To emphasize your strongest skills and professional abilities, it’s important to keep project descriptions short, concise, and to the point. Providing only the essential details to demonstrate your skills, achievements, and experience will allow hiring managers to easily read and review your resume.

Listing projects on your resume will help you get a leg up over other qualified competing applicants.

A project-based resume, similar to a functional resume , is highly effective in conveying your unique qualifications, work style, field of specialization, and areas of expertise.

Project-based resumes are great tools for illustrating hands-on experience and your decision-making and conflict resolution skills. Describing projects you’ve been involved with can give hiring managers a glimpse into how you operate as an employee.

Submitting a project-based resume with your job applications can allow you to position yourself as the best candidate for the role by highlighting and describing projects that closely align with the job description included in the advertisement.

Including a list of projects on your resume will allow your job application to shine and illustrate your work capabilities and well-rounded personality; to hiring managers and job recruiters.

A project-based resume is a professional resume that focuses on accomplishments rather than chronological job titles and previous work responsibilities.

Where a traditional resume lists work experience and academic degrees in date order, a project-based resume instead does one of two things.

It either lists a job seeker’s relevant academic, work, and personal projects in order of most to least compelling or includes specific projects beneath the education or work experience sections of a resume.

Project-based resumes effectively provide hiring managers and prospective employers with verifiable proof of a job applicant’s industry expertise, achievements, and experience.

Anyone can use project-based resumes, but the following groups might find additional benefit:

Freelancers. Project-based resumes can be an especially worthwhile option for freelancers , as it allows you to ditch the traditional chronological resume and instead focus on projects you have worked on that are most relevant to the position you’re applying to.

Entry-level candidates. Not only is a project-based resume a great alternative for freelance workers, but it can also be equally as enticing for traditional employees or recent graduates since projects can be easily listed beneath education and work experience sections, as you would normally list accomplishments, skills, and previous job responsibilities.

Career changers. Writing a project-based resume can be a great option for people looking for their first job, changing careers, coming off a long sabbatical or personal leave, or searching for a full-time job after a series of freelance gigs.

Should I put my projects on my resume?

Yes, you should put your projects on your resume. Listing a few of your most impressive professional projects on your resume can help hiring managers see what you’re capable of.

What kind of projects should I put on my resume?

You should put successful, professional projects that relate to the job you’re applying for on your resume. Think of a few of the projects that demonstrate the skills that are listed on the job description you’re applying for and put them on your resume.

Do personal projects count as experience?

No, personal projects don’t count as experience. They don’t usually count as formal work experience, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t put some of them on your resume, especially if they demonstrate your professional skills.

is it OK to put project details in a resume?

Yes, It’s OK to put project details in a resume. Projects are a great addition to your resume when your experience section doesn’t already show that you have the background or experience for a job. Recent graduates or entry-level candidates are the ones who typically put projects on their resume.

Whether you’re a freelancer or a traditional employee, a recent graduate or a career changer, projects can make your resume pop.

By illustrating your hands-on work experience, verifying your skills and job qualifications, and marketing yourself as the best candidate for the role, you’ll have hiring managers who can’t wait to call you in for an interview to learn more.

Using the tips and templates included in this article can help you write a well-structured and effective project-based resume and make a great first impression on recruiters across industries.
