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.

Main Menu:
ContactF
CompanyF
ExperienceF
ReferencesF
Report

Tables:
ContactT (ContactID, Name, phone, email, IsCurrent)
AddressT (AddressID, ContactID, if you want to keep more than one address, IsCurrent)
CompanyT (CompanyID, company name, address, StartDate, EndDate, ShowReport)
ExperienceT (ExperienceID, CompanyID, Position, StartDate, EndDate, Summary, ShowReport)
EducationT (EducationID, UniversityName, DegreeTitle, StartDate, EndDate, Description, ShowReport)
ReferenceT (ReferenceID, CompanyID, FirstName, LastName, Title, Phone, Email, ShowReport)
        [could be in the ContactT and/or AddressT]

Forms:
ContactF (Address subform)
WorkF (Experience subform)
ReferencesF (Can also be a subform)
EducationF

Report: (subforms which filter by ShowReport)
ContactR (Filter for IsCurrent)
WorkR
EducationR
ReferencesR

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.

Claudiu George Sorry I'm just coming across this now. I sometimes go back through older forum posts when I get a chance.

I agree that Access is not the best tool if you just want to make a single resume for yourself. Word is a much better option for that.

That being said, if you're a recruiter or you need to manage lots of people's resumes, then Access can actually be very useful. You could store all of the resume details in tables, then use reports to format them however you like - chronological, functional, different languages, etc. That way you've got one centralized database of information, and you can output it in whatever format you need.

I've had "resume database" on my video list for a while, but seeing this thread makes me think I should move it up. It would be a great example project for using subreports, filtering, and report formatting.

This thread is now CLOSED. If you wish to comment, start a NEW discussion in Access Forum.
