Abstract: The present invention relates to a system, data science method and visualization for generating a graphical representation of a resume. The system may generate different graphical elements to form a holistic graphical representation of a resume in vector graphic form, and may, by using a class of machine learning algorithms, cluster related skills into skill groups and visualize the resulting skill groups as a word cloud. The system also uses a stacked bar chart to visualize education, professional experiences, and accomplishments. The system may also use a context word cloud to visualize the context and responsibilities covered by education and professional experiences. A pie and donuts chart may be used to visualize the job titles and industry sectors. Finally, skill group badges may be generated to quickly identify the top skills of a candidate thus enabling resume readers to identify a candidate match instantly.
