@WillieCubed This will now be done in MongoDB since it's just easier and abstracts the portal-backend a bit more for potential future cloud migrations. |

Currently, the filename for the resumes seems to be the userID, followed by the file extension. While this is secure and accessible (to portal-backend), it only allows a user to upload a resume or a cv, not both. Note that we don't need more than one resume or cv on hand for a particular member.
Option 1: Add 'Resume' to the filename
Add the string "_resume" to the filename to help differentiate between the resume and cv when accessing data.
Option 2: Upload resume documents within a separate folder from the cvs
Currently, there also exists a folder called profiles, under which the folders resumes and cvs exist. You could upload to the profiles/resumes or profiles/cvs folder respectively, to avoid such confusion.
Note: By generalizing/abstracting the upload function, you could allow the upload the file automatically to a certain folder, based on the fieldname of the request.

Upon the successful upload of a file, we'd like to:
- Add the corresponding URL to retrieve the resume/cv to the
profile.experience.resumefield - Rename the profile folder to experience, to match the properties of the profile object.
Note: This is to be done following the refactoring of the profile interface/object.
I haven't tested this iteration locally since it seems to still be suspect on my machine 👀 However the implementation works on a custom project I made so once the local development issue is resolved there shouldn't be many changes (if any) to make.
Additionally, I'm waiting on Sai to get back to me about how he plans on uploading the file from the front end. My solution currently works with forms, so depending on his implementation, this may need to change.
It would probably be best to wait on the merger until the first coding hangouts just to make sure everything is acceptably functional, but I'm making the PR so that's it's here for any feedback you might have😄
