I would love for there to be a formalized CV standard to avoid having to reenter the info on your resume into a job application.

- peteretep 11y agoThere's more than one. If you can solve parsing CVs/resumes in to standardised formats reliably, you'll get bought by an ATS for a trazillion dollars.

- avn2109 11y agoI usually think of myself as someone with an above-average tolerance for unpleasant shlep work, but that sounds like incredibly boring work.
- tnecniv 11y agoI bet the solution is actually very interesting, but getting there, I agree.
- sah2ed 11y agoEven if one is able to build a rock solid format for CVs/resumes that is queryable, including i18n support, there is still the issue of adoption which is the hard part. You'll need early adoption by large employers such as big tech companies to governments for it to have potential to reach critical mass and make you become an acquisition target by Applicant Tracking System vendors.
- peteretep 11y agoThe formats exist already, and the ATSs use them: cf HRXML. The problem - poorly solved by Burning Glass, Daxtra, TextKernel, Sovren et al is converting documents applicants pass in to those formats.
