Resume Screening Project

Overview

This project is designed to classify resumes into different job categories based on their content. Users can upload resumes in PDF, DOCX, or TXT format, and the application will predict the category using a pre-trained machine learning model.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/adarshpheonix2810/Resume-Screening.git
   cd Resume Screening

2. Install the required packages:

   pip install -r requirement.txt

Usage

1. Run the application:

   streamlit run app.py

2. Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8501.
3. Upload a resume in PDF, DOCX, or TXT format.
4. The application will display the predicted job category for the uploaded resume.

Functions

• cleanResume(txt): Cleans the input resume text by removing unwanted characters and formatting.
• extract_text_from_pdf(file): Extracts text from a PDF file.
• extract_text_from_docx(file): Extracts text from a DOCX file.
• extract_text_from_txt(file): Extracts text from a TXT file with encoding handling.
• handle_file_upload(uploaded_file): Handles the file upload and text extraction based on file type.
• pred(input_resume): Predicts the category of the resume based on the cleaned text.

Project Goals

This project aims to provide an automated solution for classifying resumes into appropriate job categories, enhancing the job application process for candidates and recruiters alike.

Technologies Used

• Python
• Streamlit
• Scikit-learn
• Pandas
• NumPy
• PyPDF2
• Python-docx

Model Training

To train the model:

1. Prepare your dataset in the required format (CSV).
2. Use the Jupyter Notebook AiModel.ipynb to train the model. Ensure that the dataset is loaded correctly and the model parameters are set as needed.
3. Save the trained model using pickle to generate clf.pkl, tfidf.pkl, and encoder.pkl files.

Testing

To test the application:

1. Ensure that the application is running by executing streamlit run app.py.
2. Upload various resumes in different formats and verify the predicted categories.
3. Check for any errors in the console and ensure the application handles them gracefully.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome! Please follow these steps:

1. Fork the repository.
2. Create a new branch for your feature or bug fix.
3. Make your changes and commit them with clear messages.
4. Push your branch and create a pull request for review.

Conclusion

This project provides a simple yet effective way to classify resumes, helping job seekers understand the appropriate job categories for their applications.
