Does even Monster have a resume for 1 out of every five people in the US? I doubt it seriously. I'm guessing that you would have to service every country in the world to get that many, and then translation would to be your biggest problem.
If you use CCK, I believe you can get the skillset indexed for search (at the very least in a custom module). I don't know why Webform would be preferable here. A custom module could probably invoke PHP's zipping functions to zip going into the database and unzip it coming back out. I see this over and over: A newbie thinks their first Drupal project should be the next Monster. I am sorry to tell you, but you won't get there. Go and focus on some smaller projects to learn Drupal. If it has to be done now, you need to hire a team, and that's big bucks.
