Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When users are typing their details, the resuminator keeps saving their work automatically, but sometimes by accident, they may navigate to some other page while the save process is going on.

Describe the solution you'd like

We need to implement an onbeforeunload handler for the "Create" page window to prevent these accidental navigations.

@merrcury I think it's best to let @developer-diganta work on this issue.

To give some background, I tried the naive approach of just adding an onbeforeunload event listener, but it only worked if refreshing the page, navigating to a different URL, or using the Back or Fwd buttons. It did not work when clicking on other Menu navigation buttons. I think this is because of Next.js routing overriding the browser's native navigation behavior.

I think the solution should conditionally apply an onbeforeunload listener but also handle Next.js routing behavior. I hope this helps!
