ABSTRACT

Curriculum Vitae (CV) contain information which is written by the academic to signal their qualifications and academic achievements to employers, granting agencies, or promotion and tenure committees. The aim of the study is to design and implement a computerized curriculum vitae (CV) Generator. In achieving this aim, the following objectives were laid out to develop a system that will generate trending curriculum vitae (CV) for job applicant, and design a system that will provide accurate information about job applicant bio-data. The challenges encountered that led to the execution of the research work is that, Applicants were required to search through print and visual media for opportunities, most times this jobs were limited to the applicant’s location. Application were submitted using the conventional methods which weren’t effective and efficient based on loss of document during transits and many more. The old system approach was tedious and requires much effort and resources, most times Employers need to advertise the vacancies and sort all applicants’ details, conduct selections procedures based on qualifications. The methodology adopted in this study is the object oriented analysis and design methodology (OOADM) which is a technical approach for analyzing and designing an application or system by applying object throughout the software development process. The programming language used is HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, PHP, SQL and JQUERY. The reason why web programming languages was used is because, it is platform independent and it is a web based application. This study will be of immense benefit to job applicant and other researchers who intend to know more on this study and can also be used by non-researchers to build more on their research work. This study contributes to knowledge and could serve as a guide for other study. The expected result is an automatic curriculum vitae (CV) generator system that will process job applicant bio-data, and the system will generates an accurate curriculum vitae for job applicants.


Design and Implementation of an Automatic CV Generator

CHAPTER ONE

1.1 Introduction

Curriculum Vitae (CV) contain information which is written by the academic to signal their qualifications and academic achievements to employers, granting agencies, or promotion and tenure committees. Decision makers face numerous problems with CVs as a vehicle that carries important information, including incomplete, outdated, biased, private, as well as falsified and fabricated information. To complicate matters, decision makers themselves could be making biased decisions even when CV information is complete and accurate due to potential discriminatory practices. There is weak consistency or standardization in implementation internationally, and little verification.

As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Limitations of the Study and Definition of technical terms.


1.2 Background of Study

Technology is constantly changing; Society as we know depends on this fact. That which we take for granted today would have been the stuff of science fiction as little as fifty years ago. In the early years of the twenty first century, it is computers and the Internet that have captured the public imagination, and found their way into not just the working environments, but increasingly into the domestic spaces. In this modern society, if we are not capable to cope up with these changes than we are not going to stand or survive anywhere in this technical world.

Today there is no place for errors, so as to make a system more effective and efficient we need such technology where error prone chances must be least. In the scenario of this project, we are required to develop a web-based application on Job Portal Management System. In this time of recession where everyone, is either experienced or fresher, is in search for a job. This job portal can prove to be very helpful since it allows users of different profile to upload their CVs, search job on the basis of their qualification.

Every user can access through user id and apply for multiple jobs at a time. Viewing available jobs or applying for the job at the agency can be done for which jobseekers has to go to the agency and check the available jobs at the agency. Job seekers check the list of jobs available and apply the job. Then the agency will show available jobs for the job seeker for his qualifications and then updates the jobs database. The developed Job Portal management system is web-based which Requires Employee Registration & Profiles, Job Search, Employer Registration & Profiles, and Subscription Option for both Employee and Employer etc. Employer can add Own Profile and post jobs and Job Seeker can Search Jobs based on Geographical Area (Country, State, and City), Qualification, and Company wise or on the Basis of Experience and Expertise wise.

The challenges encountered that led to the execution of the research work is that, Applicants were required to search through print and visual media for opportunities, most times this jobs were limited to the applicant’s location. Application were submitted using the conventional methods which weren’t effective and efficient based on loss of document during transits and many more. The old system approach was tedious and requires much effort and resources, most times Employers need to advertise the vacancies and sort all applicants’ details, conduct selections procedures based on qualifications.

It is against the background that the developments of this software to enable job aspirants generate their Curriculum Vitae (CV) with ease by inputting the data requested by the application system, so the software users should not give false appointment information that is out of the software deeds. This research work is based on providing adequate information about the user’s bio-data and other relevant records. At the end of this project, the research work, the software will be able to provide precise and concise information from the database.


1.3 Statement of Problems

Investigation revealed that a lot of people lack knowledge of recent curriculum vitae writing format, thereby using obsolete curriculum vitae (CV) format.

Applicants were required to search through print and visual media for opportunities, most times the jobs were limited to the applicant’s location. Application was submitted using the conventional methods which weren’t effective and efficient based on loss of document during transits and many more. The old system approach was tedious and requires much effort and resources, most times Employers rejects Curriculum Vitae because of it’s outdated and sort all applicants’ details, conduct selections procedures based on qualifications.


1.4 Aim and Objectives of Study

The aim of the study is to design and implement a computerized curriculum vitae (CV) Generator. In achieving this aim, the following objectives were laid out as follows:

  1. To develop a system that will generate trending curriculum vitae (CV) for job applicant,
  2. To design a system that will provide accurate information about job applicant bio-data

1.5 Scope of Study

The study focuses on computerized curriculum vitae (CV) that will generate non-obsolete curriculum vitae for job applicant.


1.6 Significance of Study

This study will be of immense benefit to job applicant and other researchers who intend to know more on this study and can also be used by non-researchers to build more on their research work. This study contributes to knowledge and could serve as a guide for other study.


1.7 Limitations of the Study

During the course of this study, many things militated against its completion, some of which are:

  1. Time Constraint: The time frame given to accomplish this project was very short due to school academic calendar and it was carried out under pressure which made the researcher not to implement some necessary features.
  2. Establishment Policies: Establishment policies posed a serious limitation as most staffs are not ready to release information needed for this project work. There were lots of information needed from the staffs of this institution to enhance the study which took them time to release or they did not release at all for security purposes, hence the scope was reduced.
  3. Research material: availability of research material is a major setback to the scope of the study.
  4. Frequent power failure: This made the researcher append more money on fuel to ensure sustainable power.
  5. Financial Constraint: Insufficient fund tends to impede the efficiency of the researcher in sourcing for the relevant materials, literature or information and in the process of data collection (internet).

1.8 Definition of Terms

  1. Graduate: Refers to someone who has been the subject of a graduation, namely, someone who has completed the requirements of an academic degree.
  2. Company: A company, abbreviated as co., is a legal entity made up of an association of people, be they natural, legal, or a mixture of both, for carrying on a commercial or industrial enterprise.
