A simple resume and cover letter generator to help with rapidly applying for internships.

This project was built using poetry and python3. Exact requirements are defined inside the pyproject.toml file under the root of the project.

Pretty straightforward...

$ git clone [email protected]:dhruvsujatha/application-generator.git
$ cd application-generator
$ poetry install

Ensure python version is >3.11 and use any virtualenv (or not!) of your choice.

$ git clone [email protected]:dhruvsujatha/application-generator.git
$ cd application-generator
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

• The /utils/templates directory:

  • This directory contains the templates for the resume and cover letter. It is common practice to use a simple LaTeX resume and cover letter template.

  • We use Jinja2 templating engine to fill in the details of the resume and cover letter, but the content itself must be included in the template. Utilize Jinja2's templating syntax ({{double-curly-braces}}) to include the details in the resume and cover letter.

• The /out directory:

  • This is where the exported .pdf generated by the exported will lie. The pair of resume and cover letter will be exported into a directory with the name of the company you are applying to and the files themselves will be prefixed with the name of the company, your preferred alias followed by the type of document.

  • Eg: out/google/google-dsujatha-resume.pdf and oout/google/google-dsujatha-coverletter.pdf

• The /utils/.env file:

  • This is the environment file used by the generator and where you'll supply the information necessary to customize the resume and cover letter to your needs.
