🌍 What It Does
SkillScan is a platform that leverages artificial intelligence to provide two core features:
Resume Analysis:
Upload your resume in PDF format, and our AI analyzes it for clarity, structure, grammar, and relevance to your target role. Provides detailed feedback and suggestions for improvement. Mock Interviews:
Conduct real-time mock interviews directly on the platform. AI generates industry-relevant questions, evaluates your video responses, and provides constructive feedback on content, delivery, and confidence. Suggests follow-up questions to simulate a realistic interview experience.
🛠️ How We Built It
