After graduating from university, I went off applying for jobs. However, I found that I was not getting any interviews, never mind offers, despite a strong resume. I did some research and found out that most companies use AI to filter out resumes and, clearly, mine was not making the cut. Consequently, I decided to create a keyword extractor to overcome this barrier.
I hope that anyone who is in this position can use this project effectively. If you're looking for a software dev role, contribute and add this project to your resume!
