XML Based Online Resume Bank

Web-based recruiting site brings employers and employees together in a simple and accessible way, helping make the recruiting process more transparent for all involved. For job hunters, it is as simple as uploading a copy of their resumes to one of these sites which maintain enormous databases of resumes for potential employers to search by keyword. With effective interoperability, XML is emerging as an important meta-language in electronic commerce. This project applies the characteristics of XML to construct a meta-language for job application resume. The meta-language is intended as a common file format for staffing exchange in Malaysia. Apart from the meta-language, an XML based Online Resume Bank prototype has also been developed. It allows users to save, retrieve and query the resume information stored in the XML file.
