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.

Skills

Skills could be expressed as tags, using relTag.

Publications

Any publications, presentations, or other works could be represented buy 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.
