Regular expression

Regular expression was used to extract a section of a resume. For instance, an experience section might contain multiple instances of the word experience. Therefore, a strict regular expression for extracting experience section must be used. The solution was to get the index of the word experience that matches exactly to the following

 EXPERIENCE ("\\b(Experience(s?)|EXPERIENCE(S?))\\b")

The parser ignores lowercase experience or experiences after the section heading. The same notion applies for other section.

Extracted Resume Sections

• Profile: contains candidate name, phone numbers, emails, objective, summary
• Experiences: candidate work experiences
• Education: candidate education
• Skills: candidate skills and/or expertise
