Add backend functionality to upload and parse candidate resumes (PDF/TXT) to extract key information like name, role, skills, and experience. This extracted data will be used to personalize AI-generated interview questions based on the candidate's background.
🎯 Goal
When completed, users should be able to upload their resume, and the system will automatically extract relevant information and store it for generating personalized interview questions.

📁 Files to Modify
server/routes/interviews.js (create new)server/prisma/schema.prisma (add InterviewCandidate model)server/index.js (register new route)server/package.json (add pdf-parse dependency)
💡 Hints
- Use the existing
multer middleware setup from server/routes/upload.js as reference
- For PDF parsing:
npm i pdf-parse then import pdfParse from 'pdf-parse'
- Use regex patterns to find common resume sections (Skills, Experience, etc.)
- Store the resume file URL using existing R2/Cloudinary storage setup
- Check
server/middleware/auth.js for authentication middleware usage
- The Prisma model should include:
id, userId, name, role, skills (String[]), yearsOfExperience, resumeUrl, parsedData (Json), createdAt
