Possible Extensions
Event Organisation/Participation
BarCamp (http://barcamp.org/) - as an organizer or participant this is somewhere between an invited presentation (which would be a publication), and "education". Perhaps there is a need for a new explicit section for such activities and contributions thereto?
- Perhaps abstracting into an activity section that would use hCalendar as per experience?
Awards
Some awards are for a certain time-frame, others are one-time awards. hCalendar appears appropriate to indicate a list of items with a date or date-range.
Actively Seeking Employment
If hListing structure is found within the hResume document where the lister url is identical to the rel="me" url found in the hResume's hCard, then parsers should indicate this person is actively seeking employment.
An hResume document lists a person's experience and employment history. It does not- and probably shouldn't- indicate whether the person is actively seeking employment.
While a person could state in the opening summary that they're actively seeking employment, this isn't guaranteed to be machine readable with a 100% success rate (different language and structure of text etc).
The existing microformat 'hListing' is being proposed as a means of selling ones' self- and when a person is actively seeking employment, their resume is usually used as a means of selling themselves to prospective employers.
I'm proposing one of two things:
- Explict hListing support:
- If hListing is found, the person is actively seeking employment.
- If hListing is not found, assume the person is not actively seeking employment.
- Implicit hListing support:
- If hListing is found, the person is actively seeking employment.
- If hListing is not found, do not assume the person is not actively seeking employment.
