Curriculum Vitae (C.V.): a PDF or MS Word document Research Statement: a PDF or MS Word document Teaching Statement: a PDF or MS Word document I'd assume they'll be strings of links to the files somewhere they're being uploaded to?

Current job position: job title, institution (or company), start year of the current job. List of college and advanced degrees: degree name, university, year. Can we create a separate classes for degree and job position and contact info? Or it will be all one class?

As for modeling the documents for CV etc., it depends on whether the files will be stored inside or outside the database. You can either use a byte array for a file, or do something like the File class in CSNS2 (see also the FileIO class). We'll talk about handling files in class later.
