Read All File Formats of Resumes Instead of Just PDFs

[sriraamav]

Description:

The current system only supports reading resumes in PDF format. To improve flexibility and enhance user experience, we need to add support for other common resume formats such as .docx, .txt, and .rtf. This will allow users to upload resumes in various formats, making the application more versatile and accessible.

Tips for the issue:

• Use libraries like python-docx for .docx files and Python’s built-in file handling for .txt files.
• Research an appropriate library or method for parsing .rtf files.
• Ensure that the skill extraction and text cleaning processes are consistent across all formats.
• Test the implementation thoroughly to ensure correct parsing across all supported formats.

To do:

• Ask us to assign the issue.
• Once assigned, you can start working on the task.
• Create a pull request (PR).

Resource:

• python-docx documentation for .docx file parsing.
• Python's built-in file handling for .txt files.
• Research best practices for .rtf file parsing.

Notes:
The task is assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis, and the contributor must report progress every 3 days to ensure active development.
