Resume Builder App is a dynamic web application built using Vue.js for the frontend and Vuex for state management. The app allows users to create, edit, and download professional resumes with ease, offering a seamless and interactive experience.

Project Overview

The goal of the Resume Builder App was to simplify the resume creation process and provide users with a professional tool to make impactful first impressions. The app focuses on user experience, flexibility, and clean design, enabling users to create resumes tailored to their career goals.

Frontend Development with Vue.js

The application leverages Vue.js to build a responsive and interactive interface:

• Dynamic Components: Implemented reusable Vue components for resume sections like Education, Experience, Skills, and Projects.
• Two-Way Data Binding: Ensured real-time updates as users edit their information.
• Responsive Design: Tailored the UI for desktops, tablets, and mobile devices for consistent usability.

State Management with Vuex

Vuex powers the state management of the app, making it highly responsive and organized:

• Centralized State: Managed user inputs, template selections, and resume data globally.
• Reactive Updates: Ensured that changes in one component automatically reflect across the application.
• Data Persistence: Used Vuex with local storage to allow users to resume editing without losing progress.

Key Features

• Resume Templates: Multiple pre-designed templates for professional resumes.
• Drag-and-Drop Sections: Users can rearrange sections dynamically to customize the layout.
• Real-Time Preview: Preview changes instantly while editing resumes.
