Hi Guys

I want users to be able to go to my company website and be able to upload or browse their CV for current vacancies advertised where when sent my boss(es) can read it in a readable format such as Word.

Presently I have created an online form using Dreamweaver and asp where the user sends it as an email to me or my boss, using obj.mailto, objmail.body etc.

Which is the best method I can use where the user can browse and upload their CV hence saving me a lot of work creating online forms and converting CV's/resumes into Word

Appreciate any help and advice on this.

Steve

The only way you can avoid the step of converting it to Word is to insist that they send it to you as Word or some other format that Word handles automagically - such as "rich text format" (.rtf) or "text" (.txt). There may be others but they're the usuals.

I'm not sure what you mean by "browse their CV". Do you mean they fill in forms and tick boxes that create a CV for them? If not, then the system you have (ie. sending an attachment by email) should suffice - and you just need to insist on a format that suits you (and remember to scan it before you open it :))
