parsed resume?

I learned about a new feature on job application websites while working with a patron recently. There is an option called "parsed resume" on some websites. If the applicant chooses this option, the software will break their resume into different fields such as job history, references, etc. It is recommended that the user check to make sure the software worked as desired.
This worked well for the patron I was assisting and we were both interested to learn about this!

  1. This is very interesting! I wonder if this was created to essentially help with the formatting of the online posting? Usually when a resume is uploaded into the the HTML format, alot of the uniqueness and formatting go away. I wonder if this helps with recreating that a bit by at least splitting it up into categories. Very interesting!
