Introduction

Motivation

Centralization of these platforms raises risks such as data manipulation and restricted access, affecting data management and reliability. Additionally, concerns about data history and integrity are prominent, with limited public access and potential unauthorized alterations undermining information trustworthiness. Furthermore, the lack of standardized resume formats complicates employer assessments of candidates. Recognizing the vital role of resumes as repositories of personal and professional milestones, Res-a-Me aims to create a robust, transparent, and user-focused platform. Our goal is to ensure secure, accurate representation of individuals' professional narratives, while addressing these challenges and safeguarding personal data.

Frontend

The Res-a-Me platform is designed to offer a seamless and interactive experience through its various views: the Search View, Login/Register View, Resume View, and Edit View. Each view serves a specific purpose, enhancing the user's journey from registration to resume creation and networking.

Search View

The search view in Res-a-Me streamlines finding professionals by name, enhancing community networking. It includes an autocomplete feature showing users' pictures and job titles for quick identification. A "Make Connections" button allows users to view others' resumes, promoting networking. Registered users have a "My Res-a-Me" button for direct access to their resume, and a convenient login/logout button is provided for easy navigation to the Login/Register View.

Login/Register View

The Login/Register View is the gateway to our application. It is engineered for both security and ease of use, allowing users to either log in with existing credentials or register a new account. The login view simplifies credential input, while the register view includes robust email and password verification processes. This dual-view approach, with a toggle for easy switching, ensures a smooth user experience. The system's security is further bolstered by the backend's handling of user credentials and session management.

Resume View
