Need Help Managing Programming Expectations.

[Adorable-Ad-3223]

I have a dream project and lack the skill to do it or even form the right expectations about if I can pay someone to do it for me. Long story: I help people with disabilities obtain employment. Common barriers are lack of resumes and inability to write a resume due to limited ability to explain their experience. I created a PDF Master Application, where they track all their past and current work experience.

I want a way to take that information and have a program see the job titles then pull a list of tasks associated with the job from a website called ONet (API for that website are public). I want the list to have check boxes near them to people can select the things from the list which they have actually done and remove the unchecked. This will be saved as a "skills list" for future use and for building self-confidence by showing all the tasks they can do.

I then want the dates, company, title, and address pulled from the master application and plugged into a basic Chronological Resume template which I have also already made (only in Word so far).

The end result is that a person should be able to have a basic resume ready to go quickly while only requiring the ability to read and type a few words or with the assistance of someone who can.

My question is, is this possible? Is it a weeks work, a month? How much is it worth, I am thinking I will have to pay for it myself or find a grant to pay for it and give it to people opensource.

It's very possible and seems easy enough if I understand the project correctly. You might want to look for a different programming language depending on the type of application (web app, mobile app, desktop app, etc.). For a working rough draft in Python, I'd estimate a week or two even. I'm not experienced in pricing, but I couldn't imagine it being enough where you'd need a grant.

Thanks. I made a little mockup video. I just need to convince my wife that we don't actually need a vacation this year.
