I am looking for work. I am submitting resumes and cover letters over the web. This makes recruiters’ lives easier because then they can search the uploaded resumes instead of having to sift through paperwork trying to find qualified candidates. Williams-Sonoma has taken it one step further. First, they ask you to upload your resume. Then, they scan through the resume automatically, pulling out standard application form information which is then loaded into an application form for your verification.
On my resume, the first few lines of my employment history read
Brocade Communications
World leader in storage area networking
Business Systems Analyst / Process Analyst
The Williams-Sonoma form reads
Organization Name
Brocade Communications
Position Title
World Leader
Displaced
