However, doing this the way you specified would require several hundred hours worth of work. You don't want to pay for that. However, if you can have the applicants submit their resume in either text file or even from a web form (I can help you with that too), the scope of the project would become much smaller. djohnson001@yahoo.com<br><b>References : </b><br> I am capable of doing this.

You can call it a "resume wizard" but essentially it would be a page flow that walks the user through a process of copy/paste from their soft copy resume to a form driven page flow that dumps into your database. If you truly want to do the automated parsing, take a look at the search results for "human resource resume parsing" and you'll find plenty of commercial products that offer to do that. I am not familiar with any of them but I'd figure that with a little digging you could find reviews or even ask for a demonstration from the company before purchasing. ** Edit ** Forgot to mention that while developing your own software to parse is certainly an option, the issue is software maintanence. With a commercial (or possibly a free open source) product, you won't need to maintain that portion of the solution other than evaluating updated versions to ensure compatibility with your custom code. What you do get from this is additional features without putting all the development time into it. For example, will your code handle the Open Document Format (ODF), MS Open Office XML (OOXML), PDF, WPD, etc...? What about various specifications? Most likely the commercial (or open source) solution would be addressing that for you.<br><b>References : </b><br> As an alternative, why not setup your website so that submitted resumes must be parsed by the submitter?
