<h1>hResume brainstorming</h1>

This page is for brainstorming about various uses and details of [[hresume|hResume]] in particular. See [[resume-brainstorming]] for general brainstorming about a resume microformat.

=== Event Organisation/Participation ===

* [http://barcamp.org/ BarCamp] - 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?
*** Why not just use 'experience' as is? It seems general enough to be semantically correct. [[User:TobyInk|TobyInk]] 12:28, 19 Jul 2008 (PDT) <pre><nowiki>
<div class="hresume">
<div class="contact vcard" id="me">
<h1 class="fn">Joe Bloggs</h1>
...
</div>
<div class="vcalendar" id="work">
<h2>Previous Work</h2>
<ul>
<li class="experience vevent">...</li>
<li class="experience vevent">...</li>
<li class="experience vevent">...</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="vcalendar" id="conferences">
<h2>Conferences & Events</h2>

=== 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 [[hresume#Summary|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 [[hlisting-extended-examples#Personal_.2F_Match.com|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.
