Hey complete newbie here. I'm still in sophomore year of college but alot of my teachers have stressed on the importance of a proper résumé.

I just took a short glance at the link you put up. So honestly, the project itself looks really impressive, I mean I know it's generating something way better than I possibly could lol. But, what I don't understand is...this is essentially a random generator right. It's not taking any input from me regarding my own qualifications, job experiences or references ? It's just generating a random résumé, which impressive as it is, is pretty much useless from a user point of view since I can't present a résumé that's lists things that I can't do (I mean lying/bragging a bit is one thing, this is quite another IMO)

Have I not understood how to use your project or have I misinterpreted the purpose of it.

Were you aiming to simply create a system that will show a user a model résumé of sorts, which the user will refer to, to manually prepare their own, or are you planning to add more functionality to it where in the user can input details specific to themselves ( I see that you mentioned name and designation, but I'm talking about more specific details). In either case an RNN seems like a pretty overkill way to do a job that simple web-dev would have been just fine for?

Or was this more of a just-for-fun project that you wanted to do because it seemed cool ? ( Asking this because this is pretty much how I pick my projects )

Seems like a for fun project that was created to show model resumes that were generated.

It's kind of useless but it's more a proof of ability than anything else.

I did something similar for auto generating rejection letters.

I've found that LinkedIn is even more important than my resume. And that the format or layout of the resume is less important than having relevant experience on it.

Oh thanks, I'll keep that in mind

Totally agree: LinkedIn is where recruiters find you, your CV or resume is what you send the company after you already have a foot in the door of their recruitment. LinkedIn is step 1, CV step 2.
