Abstract

A method of and apparatus for storage and retrieval of resumé images in a manner which preserves the appearance, organization, and information content of the original document. In addition, summaries or “outlines” of resumé images, broken down into multiple fields, are stored, and can be searched field by field. A user interface is provided which is based on a familiar paper-based method already in common use, thus reducing the training required to effectively use the system.

Claims (63)

1. A system for handling résumé graphics files, comprising:

2. A system according to claim 1 wherein the résumé graphics file received from the first client machine is in EPS file format.

3. A system for handling résumé graphics files, comprising:

a server including a memory, and a database defined in the memory, the server being configured for management by a system administrator;

a first client machine, in selective communication with the server, being configured to communicate a résumé graphics file in a first file format to the server, the server storing in the database the résumé graphics file in the first file format; and

a second client machine, in selective communication with the sewer, being configured to receive résumé graphics files from the server, the system administrator effecting a conversion of the résumé graphics file in the first file format to a résumé graphics file in a second file format in preparation for transmission.

4. A system according to claim 3 wherein the résumé graphics file received from the first client machine is in EPS file format.

5. A system for handling résumé graphics files, comprising:

a server including a memory, and a database defined In the memory;

a first client machine, in selective communication with the sewer, being configured to communicate to the sewer a résumé graphics file in a first file format, the sewer automatically converting the résumé graphics file in the first file format to a résumé graphics file in a second file format and storing the résumé graphics file in the second file format in the database; and

a second client machine, in selective communication with the sewer, being configured to receive résumé graphics files from the sewer, the sewer retrieving from the database the résumé graphics file in the second file format and communicating the résumé graphics file in the second file format to the second client machine.

6. A system according to claim 5 wherein the résumé graphics file received from the client machine is in EPS file format.

7. A system for handling resume graphics files, comprising:

a server including a memory, and a database defined in the memory;

the server being configured to receive a resume graphics file in a first file format and store the resume graphics file in the database; and

the server being further configured to retrieve from the database the resume graphics file in the first file format and automatically convert the resume graphics file in the first format to a resume graphics file in a second file format in preparation for transmission.

8. A system according to claim 7 wherein the received résumé graphics file are in EPS file format.

9. A system for handling résumé graphics files, comprising:

a server including a memory, and a database defined in the memory;

the server being configured to receive a résumé graphics file in a first file format, automatically convert the résumé graphics file in the first file format to a second résumé graphics file in a second file format, and store in the database the résumé graphics file in the second file format; and

the server being further configured to retrieve from the database the résumé graphics file in the second file format in preparation for transmission.

10. A system according to claim 9 wherein the received résumé graphics file is in EPS file format.

11. A method for handling résumé graphics files, comprising:

configuring a server including a memory, and a database defined in the memory;

using a first client machine, in selective communication with the server, to communicate to the server a résumé graphics file in a first file format;

using the server to store in the database the résumé graphics file in the first file format;

using a second client machine, in selective communication with the server, to receive résumé graphics files from the server; and

using the server to retrieve from the database the résumé graphics file in the first format, automatically convert the résumé graphics file in the first file format to a résumé graphics file in a second file format, and communicate the résumé graphics file in the second file format to the second client machine.

12. A method according to claim 11 wherein the résumé graphics file received from the first client machine is in EPS file format.

13. A method for handling resume graphics files, comprising:

configuring a server including a memory, and a database defined in the memory;

using the server to receive a resume graphics file in a first file format and store the resume graphics file in the database; and

further using the server to retrieve from the database the resume graphics file in the first file format, automatically convert the resume graphics file in the first file format to a resume graphics file in a second file format, and transmit the resume graphics file in the second file format.

14. A system according to claim 13 wherein the received résumé graphics file is in EPS file format.
