Generate resume drafts with Python

Creating a resume draft generator with Python can be approached in several ways depending on the complexity and format you want. Below is a basic example of how you can generate a plain text resume draft using Python. This script prompts the user for key information and then formats it into a simple resume.

python
CopyEdit
def generate_resume():
    print("Enter your details for the resume draft:")

    name = input("Full Name: ")
    email = input("Email: ")
    phone = input("Phone Number: ")
    linkedin = input("LinkedIn URL (optional): ")
    summary = input("Professional Summary: ")

    print("nEnter your work experience details:")
    experiences = []
    while True:
        company = input("Company Name (or press Enter to finish): ")
        if not company:
            break
        role = input("Role/Position: ")
        start_date = input("Start Date (e.g., Jan 2020): ")
        end_date = input("End Date (or Present): ")
        description = input("Brief Description of Responsibilities: ")
        experiences.append({
            "company": company,
            "role": role,
            "start_date": start_date,
            "end_date": end_date,
            "description": description
        })

    print("nEnter your education details:")
    education_list = []
    while True:
        institution = input("Institution Name (or press Enter to finish): ")
        if not institution:
            break
        degree = input("Degree: ")
        graduation_year = input("Graduation Year: ")
        education_list.append({
            "institution": institution,
            "degree": degree,
            "graduation_year": graduation_year
        })

    print("nEnter your skills (comma separated): ")
    skills = input().split(',')

    # Construct the resume text
    resume_text = f"{name}nEmail: {email}nPhone: {phone}n"
    if linkedin.strip():
        resume_text += f"LinkedIn: {linkedin}n"
    resume_text += "nProfessional Summary:n" + summary + "nn"

    resume_text += "Work Experience:n"
    for exp in experiences:
        resume_text += f"{exp['role']} at {exp['company']} ({exp['start_date']} - {exp['end_date']})n"
        resume_text += f"  - {exp['description']}n"

    resume_text += "nEducation:n"
    for edu in education_list:
        resume_text += f"{edu['degree']} from {edu['institution']}, {edu['graduation_year']}n"

    resume_text += "nSkills:n" + ", ".join([skill.strip() for skill in skills]) + "n"

    print("n--- Resume Draft ---n")
    print(resume_text)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    generate_resume()

This script guides a user through entering their basic resume details, then prints a formatted draft.
