CV Creator Application

The CV Creator Application (version 2.0) is almost complete. There are a number of organizations in South Africa that create and print CVs (Resumes) for township residents. The process was normally to create a Word document from scratch or to edit a previously created document. It was time consuming and difficult for users.

CV Creator is a VB.Net application with a tabular form for information input. It dynamically creates additional fields for work history if needed then compiles all the data into a pdf format. The current version does require .Net Framework 4.0 but I plan to change it to 3.0. I want to avoid exhausting framework installations on the already aging equipment.

Version 1.0 was a HTML page viewable in a browser with selections for work history and contacts amounts then opened a Word document form. Version 3.0 with save entered information into a database. It will include options to upload to JobLinx, a job candidate web site not unlike Monster.com.
