XML Resumes Are Coming

Soon, you won’t have to wonder if your resume is getting through–or getting “gunked-up” on the receiving end by a server expecting a format different than you sent.

Soon, you’ll create and save your resume in a portable format based on XML that will allow your resume to do acrobatic flips along the high-wire of the Internet and still land in the recruiter’s lap unscathed.

No more trial-and-error uploading with major job boards–one file-format to rule them all!!. (Sorry, I had to go there… If you scanned through 75-100 resumes a day–often with garbled formats–you would start dreaming about this utopia as well )

Whoever sends me the first XML/XSLT resume will get a huge mention on my blog. You go on with your bad-self.
