I just joined SO so that I could post a cv on the career site.
But it looks like I have to retype all of my cv info into the
career cv form. Isn't there a way to import the data from a Word
doc?  share|improve this question I don't believe so, but IIRC
there is a way to import from LinkedIn or Facebook. I've never
tried it, though. –  Jon Seigel Jun 29 '10 at 19:39 @Jon - I
tried the beta version when it just presented the information to
you rather than actually importing it. It did a good job. –

perbert Jun 29 '10 at 20:03 Wow, bummer. I understand wanting to
keep a consistent format for all the cv's, so a form makes
sense. But lots of employer career sites can import a Word doc
and populate the form for you. Why can't SO do that too? That's
all I'm asking. Ctrl-V/Ctrl-C for every form field is so
tedious. –  Carrie Cobol Jun 30 '10 at 13:09 add comment  1
