Uploading a Resume

The Resume Upload page allows applicants to upload a resume file prior to filling out and completing the online application. Once the applicant uploads a resume file, the Resume Upload functionality intelligently parses and analyzes the content in the resume for information that pertains to similar or matching form fields in the online application, extracts and transforms the information as manageable data, and then pre-populates form fields based on the resume data as the applicant works to complete the online application.

The Resume Upload functionality effectively allows the applicant to avoid repetition in completing form fields in the online application, which can improve both the efficiency and usability of the online application process. Additionally, the applicant can still modify the value of any form fields that display as pre-populated based on data from the resume file prior to submitting the online application.

The uploaded resume file automatically displays as an attached document with a Document Description value of "Resume" if the Additional Documents static form is included with the online application. If applicants remove or delete the Resume file from the Additional Documents form, it has no effect on the extracted data from the resume file that they originally upload using the Resume Upload page prior to starting the online application.

Resume files are limited to the following file types:

• Adobe PDF (.pdf)
• Rich Text or Plain Text (.rtf, .txt)
• OpenDocument Format (.odf, .odt)
• Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx)

You can configure the instructional text, error or notification message text, and button text that displays on the Resume Upload page as necessary. Contact your system administrator for help with customizing the Resume Upload page.
