Why LinkedIn should kill the résumé and replace it with the experience graph
- pandatigox 10y agoForgive my ignorance, but could someone explain to me the difference between the resume and the experience graph? As far as I'm aware, resumes are not rigid and anything the person wants to include, gets included, eg. In How I Met Your Mother, the protagonists include winning hotdog competitions. Hence, the resume can still include "gaining a certificate from Lynda.com" (using the article's example) alongside her being hired at the company. Or is this experience graph just a fancier way of outlining a specification for resumes so it will be easier for autonomous systems to parse/digest?

- geezerjay 10y agoIt appears to me that the main difference between a resume and the proposed alternative is that the alternative is an API to access a data structure. So, providing a resume entails the need to import the info somewhere, while the proposed alternative dumps the data entry job to the people applying for a job. And that's all.
