I’ve coded and uploaded a new resume in HTML format. There were some cool features I thought I’d mention:
- Microformatted
- I used the hResume microformat, which basically makes it readable by any microformat-parsing utility. Very slick. My microformat plugin for Firefox lit up as soon as I loaded it, telling the who, what, where and when of my resume.
- Print / Screen stylesheets
- Yes, it’s pretty. But if you’re printing it, you shouldn’t need a color printer, so I set up a print-only section of the sheet. Do a “print preview” to see what that looks like.
- Portable
- The HTML file is written to be portable, so you can save a copy locally, even from the web, without any external resources. Now I can send my resume in HTML format, instead of Word or Adobe PDF.
This is a cool use of Microformats…
