Is there an XML standard language for curriculum vitae data?
A: First, for the uninitiated: a curriculum vitae (Latin for "race [or course] of life," often shortened to "CV") is a more detailed version of what's also -- particularly in the U.S. -- called a résumé. It's a common means of summarizing your career and accomplishments when seeking work in the academic, scientific, research, or international fields.
In the recent (and very long) thread about applications not following instructions in job postings, there was a lot of talk about sending your resume in Word or plain text.
It made me wonder if anyone was being even more geeky and using XML for resumes.
The HR-XSL project provides a set of command-line tools that transforms a curriculum vitae or résumé in XML format into PDF, HTML, or plain text format.
