    The "Immigrant Investor" EB-5 visa already works a bit like this. "Targeted Employment Area" investments have half the normal capital requirement. http://www.uscis.gov/working-unit…

    Neat idea! It looks like the NLTK POS tagger is having trouble here so might limit your recall when used as a filter. Instead I wonder if it would be better to use the context of e…

    They don't do this to help you get a job. Recruiters insist on an editable version so they can remove your contact details and insert their letterhead. This makes it harder for the…
