Welcome To JS Job Helper The Javascript Resume Builder App.

This app is intended to help you create tailored resume's more quickly and accurately to make your job search more efficient and enjoyable. I've just added the ability to link up your own Google Docs API to this project to create your resume's more quickly. If you're a Javascript, React, MongoDB, or Node engineer, this codebase app should be easy for you to install and set up on your local machine. You can start building your tailored resume's for free! No need to pay anybody!

If you're enjoying using this app, please consider supporting this project so I can make this thing even better with Gemeni AI.

If you're interested in contributing to this project, hmu on linkedin. I currently need help optimizing the app. Feel free to take this project and run with it, this is licensed under MIT because I want to help you succeed.
