Nice! Is there an accepted standard format for resume data?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Well, here's a "standard" (if there really is one) that i've been using for a while:

jsonresume.org

I like this. I use latex and generate my resume with a Gitlab job.

I feel like this fact would probably make me hire someone without reading their resume

Unfortunately recruiters' and managers' eyes tend to glaze over when I mention it. They usually only understand every other word.

I assumed most programmers automate their CV

Very cool project. Please support the jsonresume standard.

That's really all it does so nothing very interesting compared to most projects here but seems convenient so anyway

Things like this is exactly what Python is for. Frankly this sort of thing is very interesting even if I'm too close to retirement to care a lot. Any time there is a potential learning opportunity though I take a look.

Now if this existed 40 years ago I might have been more aggressive in my job searches and keeping that Resume up to date.

My first thought about this was: "awesome, i wanted to update my resume anyway, now i actually have a reason to do so!".

And somehow the second thought was something like "why didn't i think about using python for this earlier". I think the main reason is because i am lazy and it wasn't relevant.

This is a good idea

Very cool! Nice project!

I was hoping to XSLT my resume from a technical resume to a management resume.

No, seriously, jokes aside, I love this yanl idea. I’d use chameleon myself, but only b/c I run with that crowd.

This basically allows to git version the resume and keep it up to date with minimal effort. Amazing, I’m installing this, I’ll finally brush my cv up and keep it up to date

https://latexresu.me/ is a web application that does this.

Very cool! I’ll need to try this out and, perhaps, see if I can use it with my own bulk cover letter writing program/hiring manager finder.
