Reformat the resume report

[eeeschwartz]

One sentence description

As a person reviewing resumes I want to see them in a clear, readable format so that I can evaluate them more easily.

Link (more details/brain dump/alpha)

A batch of resumes comes to employees as 10s or 100s of pages in a pdf, all applicants together in a stream. It's unclear when one person begins or ends. They typeface and formatting a difficult to read.

Project Needs (dev/design/resources)

• This is really easy if we can get access to a machine readable version of the information.
• A harder but still doable approach is to use Adobe Acrobat Pro to export the pdf as html and scrape it and to add bootstrap classes.
  • This wouldn't be a bad first pass. With almost no work we could improve the line height and fonts to make them more readable.
  • The next step would be to parse and paginate the applicants
  • Next: add spacing between an applicant's employment history, education, etc.

Status (in progress, pie-in-the-sky)

I was able to export an example pdf to html maintaining it's basic structure (Adobe Acrobat Pro). We're not too far off from meaningful improvement.
