Examples Analysis
A first pass at some analysis of the Aggregate analysis on resume-examples. A proposed 80/20:
| affiliations | a list of affiliations, each with organization name, url and association type |
| contact info | contact info - address, email, url |
| education | a list including organization/school info (name, location), degree/area of study, honors/awards, date (graduation only or range), GPA |
| employment/professional experience | a list including the organization, timeframe, job title and location, accomplishments, description |
| skills | an outline of skills/tools broken down by general categories |
| publications/presentation | a list of writings, each including author(s), title, url and published year |
| summary/qualifications | a list of qualifications and competencies |
left off for now:
- exhibitions - too rare?
- appearances and awards- don't know how to generalize this
- awards - too specific and rare
- interests - too rare
- objective - just use summary
- patents - too rare
- portfolio - too rare?
- projects - too rare?
- status - just use the 'summary'
- presentations - sure probably be part of one of the above, not sure where it fits in yet
Traditional style
Minimal Set
- Contact Info
- Education
- Work Experience
- Skills
Optionally
- Objective
- interests
- references (could be tied to a specific job)
Functional
Some people publish functional resumes, which are a somewhat inverted form of the traditional.
- Contact
- Work Experience
- Company
- Project
- Company
- skill
- experience (job, education, etc)
Where are resumés published?
- Personal Website
- Job sites
- Monster
- Dice
- Hotjobs
- CareerBuilder
- ?
- classified sites
- craigslist
- company websites
- ?
It would be ideal if we could create an xml resume schema (based on one of the two existing works), and then write tools to generate it into whatever format is desired: semantic xhtml, microformat hCard, proprietary XML (ie - monster.com xml).
Application of current microformats
See resume-formats for a description of common résumé elements.
Contact
The contact info block of a résumé could be expressed with an hcard.
Education
Educational experience could be expressed as a list of hcalendars. The rationale is that education can be viewed as a long-running event- it would be easy to reuse the vocabulary from hcalendar for describing events.
Work Experience
Just like Education, work experience could be expressed as a list of hcalendars.
Additionally, within a particular work experience, the list of job titles could be expressed as hcards.
It might also be useful to extend xfn for marking up links to employers and clients.
Skills
Skills could be expressed as tags, using relTag.
Publications
Any publications, presentations, or other works could be represented by a citation microformat
References
References could be expressed as a list of hcards, though web-based résumés tend to be light on using references.
endorsements
LinkedIn allows users to endorse others' resumes. This functionality could be capture with vote-links.
