<h1> hResume </h1>

hResume is a microformat for publishing resumes and CVs.

hResume is a simple, open, distributed format for representing resumes and CVs in semantic XHTML. hResume is one of several open microformat standards suitable for embedding in (X)HTML, Atom, RSS, and arbitrary XML.

Want to get started with writing an hResume? Use the hCard creator (http://temphurricane.weblogswork.com/hresumecreator/) to write up some contact information and publish it, or follow the hResume authoring tips to add hResume markup to your web page or blog.

== Status ==
Draft, version 0.1.

== Introduction ==
=== Semantic XHTML Design Principles ===
{{SemanticXHTMLDesignPrinciples}}

== Format ==
=== In General ===
The hResume format is based on a set of fields common to numerous resumes published today on the web. Where possible field names have been chosen and reused from preexisting microformats.

=== Schema ===
The hResume schema consists of the following:

* hResume
** summary. optional. text.
** contact info. required. '''Must''' use [[hcard|hCard]]. '''Should''' use <code class="element"><address></code> + [[hcard|hCard]].
** experience. optional. One or more [[hcalendar]] events with the class name '<code class="class-name">experience</code>', with an embedded [[hcard|hCard]] indicating the job title, name of company, address of company etc.
** education. optional One or more [[hcalendar]] events with the class name '<code class="class-name">education</code>', with an embedded [[hcard|hCard]] indicating the name of school, address of school etc.
** skills. optional. phrases or keywords using the [[rel-tag]] microformat with the class name '<code class="class-name">skill</code>'.
** affiliations. optional. the class name <code class="class-name">affiliation</code> along with an [[hcard]] of the organization
** publications. optional. One or more citations. Use cite tag.

=== Field details ===
The fields of the hResume schema represent the following:

* '''<code class="class-name">hresume</code>''':: root class name
* '''<code class="class-name">summary</code>''':: The class name <code class="class-name">summary</code> is used to mark up an overview of qualifications and objectives.
* '''contact''':: Current contact info in an [[hCard]]. '''Should''' use <code class="element"><address></code> with [[hCard]] when possible.
* '''<code class="class-name">education</code>''':: the class name '<code class="class-name">education</code>' is applied to an [[hcalendar]] event.
* '''<code class="class-name">experience</code>''':: the class name '<code class="class-name">experience</code>' is applied to an [[hcalendar]] event. Job titles/positions should use an [[hCard]].
* '''<code class="class-name">skill</code>''':: An hResume may be tagged using the [[rel-tag]] microformat and the '<code class="class-name">skill</code>' class name.
* '''<code class="class-name">affiliation</code>''':: The class name <code="class-name">affiliation</code> is used along with an [[hcard]] of the organization
* '''publications''':: just use <code class="element"><cite></code>. When there is a [[citation]] microformat, then that can be used in combination with the cite element to further markup the components of the citation.

== Examples ==
=== Summary ===
An example summary:

<pre><nowiki>

I have 10 years experience with all Web 2.0 technologies– I've been working with Ajax since 1996,
designing with pastels while others will still using tiled background images and frames...

</nowiki></pre>

=== Contact ===
<pre><nowiki>
<address class="vcard">
Pedro Sanchez

123 Fake St.
Preston, Idaho 83263

Email: <a class="email" href="mailto:joe@example.com">pedro@vote-for-pedro.com</a>
Homepage: <a class="url" href="http://vote-for-pedro.com/">vote-for-pedro.com</a>
Phone: +01.208.555.4567
</address>
</nowiki></pre>

=== Education ===
<pre><nowiki>
<ol class="vcalendar">
<li class="education vevent">
<a class="url summary" href="http://example.edu/">Preston High School</a>
(<abbr class="dtstart" title="2001-01-24">2001</abbr> - <abbr class="dtend" title="2005-05-25">2005</abbr>)
</li>
...
</nowiki></pre>

=== Experience ===
==== Basic ====
A basic experience event:

<pre><nowiki>
<ol class="vcalendar">
<li class="experience vevent">
President,
Preston High School,
<abbr class="dtstart" title="2004-09-01">May 2004</abbr> - <abbr title="2005-05-25">present</abbr>
</li>
...
</nowiki></pre>

==== Job Titles ====
To express one or more job titles/positions in the same experience event you should use [[hCard]]s. [[hcard]] requires the <code class="class-name">fn</code> ("formatted name") field, but it isn't reasonable to repeat your name for every job title you mark up in [[hResume|hresume]]. So, you may use an <code class="element"><object></code> and the class name '<code class="class-name">include</code>' with a reference to the <code class="class-name">fn</code> somewhere else on the page.

For example, this [[hCard]] refers to another [[hCard]]

<pre>

<object data="#j" class="include"></object>
Preston High School
Class President

</pre>

Where "<code class="attr-value">j</code>" is the id attribute value of the "<code class="mf-prop">fn n</code>" element of the contact [[hCard]] at the top of the page, e.g. (shown here as a verbose [[hCard]] for purposes of illustration that the reference may be to a subtree, not just a text node):

<pre><nowiki>
<address class="vcard">

Pedro
Sanchez

</address>
</nowiki></pre>

This method of hCard property indirection via an object element [[include-pattern|has been generalized]] to apply to any/all string/text properties in hCard.
Note: the object data attribute MUST be a local ID reference. External references (which would require a consuming application to load an external resource) are currently not supported by this method.

=== Skills ===
Some sample skills tags:
<pre><nowiki>
I have skills in <a class="skill" rel="tag" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bow_%28weapon%29">bow hunting</a>
and <a class="skill" rel="tag" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nunchucks">nunchucks</a>.

=== Publications ===

== Examples in the wild ==
This section is '''informative'''.

The following sites have published hResumes, and thus are a great place to start for anyone looking for examples "in the wild" to try parsing, indexing, organizing etc. If you have an hResume on your own page, feel free to add it to the top of this list. Once the list grows too big, we'll make a separate wiki page.

== Implementations ==
This section is '''informative'''.

The following implementations have been developed which either generate or parse hResumes. If you have an hResume implementation, feel free to add it to the top of this list. Once the list grows too big, we'll make a separate wiki page.

* The [http://spurinc.com Spur] team has created an hResume WordPress plugin located at [http://hresume.weblogswork.com/?page_id=3 hResume Plugin]. See an example of the hResume markup [http://hresume.weblogswork.com/?page_id=6 here]. Neat feature of the hResume plugin is that it automatically creates a new page for the resume - no cutting and pasting...

* The [http://www.ssdesigninteractive.com/ssdesign Sajid Saiyed] has created an hResume WordPress plugin located at [http://www.ssdesigninteractive.com/ssdesign/?p=96 Microformat Resume Plugin]. See an example of the hResume markup [http://www.ssdesigninteractive.com/ssdesign/?page_id=95 here].
