@Sonical015 on Overly Honest Resume Maker
I designed the Overly Honest Resume Generator.
This is a funny website that takes your truthful inputs (such as distractions at work and motivations) and creates a funny corporate resume with fake experience, education and references. It also has a Job Application Simulator where you can apply using your truthful resume to companies such as Goggle and Pear Inc. You will recieve a random funny response letting you know whether you have been accepted or rejected. You can also print your resume.
Features I found challenging to implement:
Dynamic HTML content using the DOM and managing the state of the UI: Dynamically generating sections of HTML content depending on user input from a form. Ensuring the resume would display correctly by showing/hiding elements depending on the form.
Debugging ID/class name mistakes and CSS: Debugging small issues such as ID/class name mistakes and CSS syntax errors in the HTML/JS.
Randomising the corporate response and printing the resume: Creating a probability based (80/20) generator for the corporate response. Creating my own @media print CSS to ensure the action buttons would disappear when printing.
I am pleased with how my first stardance project turned out. The design is very clean and works as intended since I only learnt CSS for this project. I also like how you can apply to big corporations!
