ABSTRACT
To build a standalone application that simplifies the task of creating a resume for
individuals. The system is flexible to be used and reduces the need of thinking and designing
an appropriate resume according to qualifications. The system is developed to provide an easy
means for creating a professional looking resume. Individuals just have to fill up a form that
specifies questions from all required fields such as personal questions, educational, qualities,
interest, skills and so on. The answers provided by the users are stored and the system
automatically generates a well structured resume. Users have option to create resume in any
format and file, they also have the choice to choose their desired layout design which makes
the application more user friendly and efficient.
This is a very user friendly and attractive application which is very helpful for a user in day
today life.

Introduction to the project
1.1 WHAT BASCIALLY IS CURRICULUM VITAE?
Curriculum vitae (CV) are a written overview of a person's experience and other
qualifications. In some countries, a CV is typically the first item that a
potential employer encounters regarding the job seeker and is typically used to
screen applicants, often followed by an interview. A curriculum vitae is a more
comprehensive document that details ALL your past education, experiences, and
competencies, including public presentations, academic writing and professional
development. It’s designed to introduce you to employers in academics, advanced
research, post-secondary teaching and fine arts. Curriculum vitae is a Latin
expression which can be loosely translated as the course of my life.
1.2 Why develop a resume or CV?
Both a résumé and a are meant to encourage an employer or a supervisor to consider
you:
• As an employee
• As a candidate for further studies
• As the right fit for a contract
1.3 When to use a CV
You can use a CV when you’re:
• Applying for work and/or contracts in academics, advanced research, post-secondary
teaching, and fine arts.
• applying for graduate school, scholarships, etc.
• showcasing your background prior to a presentation

LITERATURE SURVEY
This might be a romantic notion, written in history, but the great man himself; the inveor
of the pretty much everything, artist, musician and writer, Leonardo Da Vinci, also seems to
take credit for having written the very first CV. But the History goes, that in 1482, Da Vinci
listed his capabilities and skills down on paper, to send off to a potential employer, the Duke
of Milan.
So what does Curriculum Vitae mean? Curriculum vitae is a Latin expression which can be
translated as the course of my life. So with that in mind, it seems realistic that the outline of a
modern CV still remains true to its original intent. Yes, legislation has been conceived and
developed; it’s no longer standard to put your date of birth on your CV – to protect against
Age Discrimination or you would no longer need to know who you are related to (from a
historic age when who you were, and who you were related to, was possibly a short listing
criteria!!),but the intention of a CV remains true to its original purpose. Yes, the Silver Spoon
of the ‘upper classes’ still exists, but your ability, experience and skills are much more
relevant than a few hundred years ago, when class played a massive part in the job that you
had; if you had to have one at all!
But the weird thing is – the internet – usually full of amazing facts and figures about useless
facts is pretty lacking on information on the whole subject. There are some mutterings of
Resumes being created by English Lords to give travelers a character reference when arriving
on a distant land, but that is pretty much it!
Fast forward 400 years and it’s not till the 1950’s that CV’s are used as a matter of course in
applying for job. Prior to this the CV remained a document of choice and often drafted up at
interview of with an employer as a formality for being offered the job.
This is just a guess, but one would also assume that it is not until the 1950’s that applicants for
a job traveled from afar and therefore the majority of applicants for a job lived local to where
the job was based. Therefore word of mouth, reputation, and past experience working in that
local area would be more valuable than any CV could offer.
Prior to the 1940’s, and for our UK readers, imagine ‘Downton Abbey’, you either were born

16. 7
rich and became educated or you were poor and had a menial job. Your CV up until that point,
was the family you were born into. It was probably at the end of the Second World War in
1945 that the working classes and as importantly, Women, strived to better themselves beyond
their expected ‘position’. Least not forget, that Women only gained the right to vote in the UK
in 1832! What would be the point of the CV to the many, if you could only ever really achieve
one type of job!
Post 1950, we have seen the introduction of the word processor, the home computer, the
internet, sending CV’s by email, applying for jobs online, creating CV’s using online CV
builders, and social media being used to apply for jobs or at least network about available
positions.
But as much as technology advancements have enhanced the formatting and delivery of our
CV, the reasoning behind the CV has changed very little. So any predictions of the demise of
the CV are slightly shortsighted! Perhaps over the next 100 years the delivery of the
Curriculum Vitae will evolve somewhat. Perhaps we will not need to write a CV, as our
records will be updated for us via online record keeping!?! But for the CV to go, it may mean
we are returning to a time when skills, experience and education are no longer required – and
that seems a future not worth the paper it is written on.

3.4 Language Used: Java
Java is a general-purpose computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based,
object-oriented, and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as
possible. It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere" (WORA),[14]
meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need
for recompilation.Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode that can run on any
Java virtual machine.

21. 12
Java programming language was originally developed by Sun Microsystems which was
initiated by James Gosling and released in 1995 as core component of Sun Microsystems' Java
platform .The latest release of the Java Standard Edition is Java SE 8. With the advancement
of Java and its widespread popularity, multiple configurations were built to suite various types
of platforms. Ex: J2EE for Enterprise Applications, J2ME for Mobile Applications.
Java is:
 Object Oriented: In Java, everything is an Object. Java can be easily extended since
it is based on the Object model.
 Platform independent: Unlike many other programming languages including C and
C++, when Java is compiled, it is not compiled into platform specific machine, rather
into platform independent byte code. This byte code is distributed over the web and
interpreted by virtual Machine (JVM) on whichever platform it is being run.
 Simple: Java is designed to be easy to learn. If you understand the basic concept of
OOP Java would be easy to master.
 Secure: With Java's secure feature it enables to develop virus-free, tamper-free
systems. Authentication techniques are based on public-key encryption.
 Architectural-neutral: Java compiler generates an architecture-neutral object file
format which makes the compiled code to be executable on many processors, with the
presence of Java runtime system.
 Portable: Being architectural-neutral and having no implementation dependent
aspects of the specification makes Java portable. Compiler in Java is written in ANSI
C with a clean portability boundary which is a POSIX subset.
 Robust: Java makes an effort to eliminate error prone situations by emphasizing
mainly on compile time error checking and runtime checking.

22. 13
 Multithreaded: With Java's multithreaded feature it is possible to write programs that
can do many tasks simultaneously. This design feature allows developers to construct
smoothly running interactive applications.
 Interpreted: Java byte code is translated on the fly to native machine instructions and
is not stored anywhere. The development process is more rapid and analytical since
the linking is an incremental and light weight process.
 High Performance: With the use of Just-In-Time compilers, Java enables high
performance.
 Distributed: Java is designed for the distributed environment of the internet.
 Dynamic: Java is considered to be more dynamic than C or C++ since it is designed to
adapt to an evolving environment. Java programs can carry extensive amount of run-
time information that can be used to verify and resolve accesses to objects on run-
time.
3.5 Platform Used: Netbeans

23. 14
NetBeans is a Java-based integrated development environment (IDE). The term also refers to
the IDE’s underlying application platform framework. The IDE is designed to limit coding
errors and facilitate error correction with tools such as the NetBeans Find Bugs to locate and
fix common Java coding problems and Debugger to manage complex code with field watches,
breakpoints and execution monitoring. Although the NetBeans IDE is designed specifically for
Java developers, it also supports C/C++, PHP, Groovy, and HTML5 in addition to Java,
JavaScript and JavaFX.
Tools and capabilities of the NetBeans IDE include a feature-rich text editor with refactoring
tools and code templates, high level and granular views of applications, a drag and drop GUI
design, and versioning using out-of-the-box integration with tools such as Git. The NetBeans
IDE can run on any operating system that supports a compatible JVM including Linux,
Windows and OS X.

24. 15
The underlying NetBeans platform supports creation of new applications and further
development of existing applications using modular software components. As an application
running on the NetBeans Platform, the NetBeans IDE itself is extensible and can be extended
to support new languages.
3.5.1 Features of Netbeans:
1. Tools for Java 8 Technologies. Anyone interested in getting started with lambdas,
method references, streams, and profiles in Java 8 can do so immediately by
downloading NetBeans IDE 8. Java hints and code analyzers help you upgrade
anonymous inner classes to lambdas, right across all your code bases, all in one go.
Java hints in the Java editor let you quickly and intuitively switch from lambdas to
method references, and back again.
2. Tools for JavaScript. Thanks to powerful new JavaScript libraries and frameworks
over the years, JavaScript as a whole has become a lot more attractive for many
developers. For some releases already, NetBeans IDE has been available as a pure
frontend environment, that is, minus all the Java tools for which it is best known. This
lightweight IDE, including Git versioning tools, provides a great environment for
frontend devs. In particular, for users of AngularJS, Knockout, and Backbone, the IDE
comes with deep editor tools, such as code completion and cross-artifact navigation.
3. Tools for HTML5. JavaScript is a central component of the HTML5 Platform,
a collective term for a range of tools and technologies used in frontend
development. Popular supporting technologies are Grunt, a build tool, and
Karma, a test runner framework. Both of these are now supported out of the
box in NetBeans IDE 8.
4. Tools for Java EE Developers. The code generators for which NetBeans
IDE is well known have been beefed up significantly. Where before you could
create bits and pieces of code for various popular Java EE component

25. 16
libraries, you can now generate complete PrimeFaces applications, from
scratch, including CRUD functionality and database connections.
3.6 Platform for Database Management: Xampp
XAMPP is an easy to install Apache distribution containing MySQL, PHP and Perl. XAMPP
is really very easy to install and to use -- just download, extract and start.
3.6.1 XAMPP Supported Platforms

26. 17
A version for Linux systems (tested for Ubuntu, SuSE, RedHat, Mandrake and Debian),
a version for Windows 98, NT, 2000, 2003 and XP,
a beta version for Solaris SPARC (developed and tested under Solaris 8),
and a beta version for MacOS X.
This MacOSX and Solaris versions of XAMPP are still in the first steps of development. Use
at you own risk!
3.6.2 XAMPP for Linux Packages
The distribution for Linux systems (tested for SuSE, RedHat, Mandrake and Debian) contains:
Apache, MySQL, PHP & PEAR, Perl,ProFTPD, phpMyAdmin, OpenSSL, GD, Freetype2,
libjpeg, libpng, gdbm, zlib, expat, Sablotron, libxml, Ming, Webalizer, pdf class, ncurses,
mod_perl, FreeTDS, gettext, mcrypt, mhash, eAccelerator, SQLite and IMAP C-Client.
3.6.3 Start XAMPP Server
To start XAMPP simply Use the following command
#/opt/lampp/lampp start
Starting XAMPP 1.5.5a...
LAMPP: Starting Apache...
LAMPP: Starting MySQL...
LAMPP started.

27. 18
To start Apache or MySQL manually, click the Start button under Actions next to that
module. Depending on your security settings,Windows 7 users will probably have a
small window open, asking if you want to allow xampp-control.exe to make
modifications to your computer. Click yes to allow Apache or MySQL to start.
3.7 Database Connectivity:
Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) is an application programming interface (API) for the
programming language Java, which defines how a client may access a database. It is part of
the Java Standard Edition platform, from Oracle Corporation. It provides methods to query
and update data in a database, and is oriented towards relational databases.
JDBC allows multiple implementations to exist and be used by the same application. The API
provides a mechanism for dynamically loading the correct Java packages and registering them
with the JDBC Driver Manager. The Driver Manager is used as a connection factory for
creating JDBC connections.

28. 19
JDBC connections support creating and executing statements. These may be update statements
such as SQL's CREATE, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE, or they may be query statements
such as SELECT.
Query statements return a JDBC row result set. The row result set is used to walk over the
result set. Individual columns in a row are retrieved either by name or by column number.
There may be any number of rows in the result set. The row result set has metadata that
describes the names of the columns and their types.
There is an extension to the basic JDBC API in the javax.sql. If a database operation fails,
JDBC raises an SQLException.
We have two tables under the database CV Generator:
1. Account(Id, Username, Password, SecurityQ,
SecurityA,Email,Contact,Address,DOB,Discipline,Batch)
2. Image(Id,Username,img)
