Any plan to allow PDF resumes, or is there a technical hurdle at the moment? Most people keep their resume as a word or latex document which they then render into a PDF file, reentering this information one form field at a time can become a bit tedious.
Besides the convenience factor of not having to reenter information, PDF resumes have layouts and fonts which play into reader perceptions (rightly or wrongly). I will argue that the information layout is just as important as the information itself, and affects "where" and "what" resume readers look at first/second/.../never. Please consider allowing PDF resume viewing and analysis.
- erickookoo 12y agoYeah, this is something we've definitely thought of implementing. Definitely agree with you that some people have awesome-looking resumes that they have spent a lot of time formatting (we both graduated with HCI degrees, so we've seen a lot of amazing resumes from UX and graphic designers). But yeah, mostly technical hurdles at this point. Maybe someday. =)
