Hi @sunilkumar2170 ! 👋
I am participating in GSSoC '26 and have been exploring the project. I have an idea that would make the resume builder much more
beginner-friendly!
📌 Feature Request
Problem
Currently, the resume form sections have no guidance or tips for users who are unsure what to write. First-time resume builders often struggle with knowing what content to include in each section, which defeats the purpose of a beginner-friendly resume builder.
Proposed Solution
Add a small "?" tooltip icon next to each section heading that shows helpful writing tips when hovered or clicked.
For example:
- Profile → "Write a 2-3 sentence summary highlighting your key skills and career goals"
- Work Experience → "Start each bullet point with an action verb like 'Led', 'Built', 'Improved'"
- Education → "Include your GPA if it's above 3.5"
- Skills → "List technical skills relevant to the job you're applying for"
- Projects → "Include a link to your GitHub or live demo"
Expected Behavior
- A small "?" icon appears next to each section title
- Hovering or clicking shows a tooltip with 2-3 helpful tips
- Tooltip is styled to match the existing UI
- Tooltip disappears when user moves away
Benefits
- Makes the builder more beginner-friendly
- Reduces common resume mistakes
- Improves overall user experience
- Especially helpful for first-time job seekers and students
Implementation
- Frontend-only change in React components
- Can reuse the existing Tooltip component already in the codebase
- No backend changes needed
Could you please assign this issue to me if approved? I would love to work on this! 🙌
