The Advanced Import option will allow the user to create an applicant record in the system using various file formats (pdf, WordPerfect, etc.) or a cut/pasted version of a resume. A resume of some sort is REQUIRED for this process. The system will read the resume for demographic information, employment information, military experience, reference and, if configured in this manner, skills (code, description and synonyms) and education.

After selecting this option, copy the resume from the original location and paste the text version of the resume into the box provided. Press Continue to move to the next page. Press Process to indicate that the file is ready to be read. The system will read the file and the user taken to a verification screen.
