Individual Project

Description

This project is a CV (Curriculum Vitae) management system built using Flask, a Python web framework. It allows candidates to register, log in, create and download their CV. Employers can also register, log in, and search for candidates based on various criteria.

The project uses SQLAlchemy, a popular Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) library, to interact with a SQLite database for storing user information and CV details. The system supports basic CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) for candidates, employers, and CVs.

Infuture I will host it in AWS and containerize using Docker.
