Résumé storage and retrieval system
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.
1. A résumé graphics file handling method comprising:
configuring a server to convert a résumé graphics file from a first file format to a different file format that preserves the appearance of the first file format;
using the server, receiving a résumé graphics file in the first file format and converting the résumé graphics file in the first file format to a converted file in the different file format; and
using the server, transmitting at least one of the résumé graphics file in the first file format, or the converted file in the different file format.
2. A résumé graphics file handling server configured to:
receive a résumé graphics file in a first file format;
convert the résumé graphics file in the first file format to at least one converted file in a different file format that preserves the appearance of the first file format; and
transmit at least one of the résumé graphics file in the first file format, or the converted file in the different file format.
3. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with computer program instructions configured to cause processing circuitry of a server to:
receive a résumé graphics file in a first file format;
convert the résumé graphics file in the first file format to a converted file in a different file format that preserves the appearance of the first file format; and
transmit at least one of the résumé graphics file in the first file format, or the converted file in the different file format.
4. A résumé handling method comprising:
configuring a server to receive a résumé graphics file and to transmit at least some content of the résumé graphics file;
using a first client machine, transmitting a résumé graphics file to the server; and
using the server, transmitting to a second client machine at least some content of the résumé graphics file that preserves at least some of the appearance of the résumé graphics file.
5. The method of claim 4 wherein the second client machine and the first client machine are the same client machine.
6. A résumé handling system comprising:
a server;
a first client machine configured to transmit a résumé graphics file to the server; and
a second client machine;
wherein the server is configured to receive the résumé graphics file from the first client machine and to transmit to the second client machine at least some content of the résumé graphics file that preserves at least some of the appearance of the resume graphics file and wherein the second client machine is configured to receive the content of the résumé graphics file transmitted by the server.
7. The system of claim 6 wherein the second client machine and the first client machine are the same client machine.
8. A résumé handling method comprising:
configuring a server to receive a résumé graphics file and to transmit at least some content of the résumé graphics file;
using the server, receiving a résumé graphics file; and
using the server, transmitting at least some content of the résumé graphics file that preserves at least some of the appearance of the résumé graphics file.
