Career Recommender: A Novel Approach to Suggest Jobs and Post-Graduation Streams

Abstract

To implement a novel approach to recommend jobs and colleges based on résumé of freshly graduated students. Job postings are crawled from web using a web crawler and stored in a customized database. College lists are also retrieved for post-graduation streams and stored in a database. Student résumé is stored and parsed using natural language processing methods to form a résumé model. Text mining algorithms are applied on this model to extract useful information (i.e., degree, technical skills, extracurricular skills, current location, and hobbies). This information is used to suggest matching jobs and colleges to the candidate.
