I like the idea, because I deal with a lot of resumes and can't parse them programmatically.
Some thoughts:
- Eliminate first/last name distinction, and let people just put in their full or legal/passport name. Names are very crazy across cultures, as in some people don't have first or last names, so might as well just let them enter free form text as their name.
- Include a "Preferred name" field, also as freeform text. Some people like to go by nicknames, or shortenings of their names, and it will help out.
- Collapse location region and state into a single field.
- If "websites" is a hash with only a single field, call it "website" and make it a string.
