Basically, I want to take a job description and compare it to a
resume.

So if a job description has (PHP, JSP, ColdFusion, HTML, Javascript)
in it,

And a resume has (PHP, HTML, JavaScript) in it,

I would see this as a better match than someones reumes with just
HTML, JAVASCRIPT in it... Does that make sense?

This wouldnt be an exact science because someone in a job description
could have PHTML, and in a resume PHP and there wouldnt be a match.

Or someone puts ColdFusion in the description and in the resume there
is Cold Fusion. well thats not a match either.
