100% agree. I'd love to be a part of this solution.
A centralized point where people can store different versions of resumes, cover letters, and application information. This point also can parse and pre-fill out any application of your choice for any company. It presents the user only with questions it can't answer from the information it has on file. A summary is given to the user for review before submission.
I've applied to several different positions where one resume or one set of application answers didn't fit all. It would have been nice to have a service to keep a record of my various resumes & application information. Additionally, perhaps you have a varied background you might want to provide a resume or application answers that better highlighted the relevant part of your background. It would be nice if the service could be told to utilize one set of application answers over another.
Anyway, just bouncing around the idea. But I like it.
TalentDrive is essentially working on this. (Note: I am affiliated with the company in that my employer shares the same parent company as TalentDrive.)
