Resume in Ms Access

Claudiu George Stanciulescu

Hello,
I searched on google (and bing) for "Resume in Ms Access" and found nothing from Computer Learning Zone.

I know that Access might not be the best tool for building a resume but I believe that if built correctly could be the easiest way.

So, if you think this could be TechHelp worthy material, I would really like to get started in building such a tool.

Thank you in advance,
Live long and prosper,
Claudiu

Claudiu George I do not believe Access is the best tool for this. I use ChatGPT to create amazing documents like resumes and cover letters.

Might work better as a Curriculum Vitae (CV). This would make a good Tech Help video for using Sub-Reports and exporting as PDF. Could be for more than one person.

EducationT (EducationID, UniversityName, DegreeTitle, StartDate, EndDate, Description, ShowReport)

[could be in the ContactT and/or AddressT]

Hello and thank you both for your input, I love AI and I use several AI on a daily basis but I can't in this case. Quite a few people in my family need to make/update their CV and some of them in multiple languages. That's what gave me the idea of a database.
