Project Description:

The Resume Keyword Checker is a smart web application designed to help job seekers optimize their resumes by analyzing whether they include the right keywords related to a job description. This tool scans a user's resume and compares it against a given job post or keyword list to highlight missing or weak areas, thereby increasing the chances of getting noticed by Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS).

Technologies Used:

• Frontend: HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript

• Backend: PHP / Java / Node.js

• File Handling: PDF/Text parsing libraries (e.g., PDF.js, Apache Tika, or PDFParser in PHP)

• Optional AI/ML Add-on: Use basic NLP libraries or keyword-matching logic

• Database (optional): MySQL/MongoDB (for storing resumes, job posts, users)

Core Features:

1. Upload Resume (PDF or DOC):

   • User uploads their resume file to be scanned.

2. Enter Job Description or Keywords:

   • User pastes a job description or provides a list of target keywords.

3. Keyword Extraction & Matching:

   • App extracts relevant keywords from the job description.

   • Checks if these keywords are present in the resume.

4. Score Generation:

   • Gives a keyword match score (e.g., 70% match).

   • Shows list of found, missing, and overused keywords.

5. Keyword Suggestions:

   • Recommends which keywords to include for better match rate.

6. Responsive Dashboard:

   • Clean and responsive interface for usability on all screen sizes.
