- hrktb 7y ago> LinkedIn, Indeed, etc., At this level, they won't care for an open format as they can just ask you to reenter all the info in their own form. They assume if you are effectively looking for a job a 10~30 min data entry for each of these sites won't deter you. Or worse, you'll get tired of entering your data again and again, and won't go to their smaller competitors even if they make more efforts to accommodate you. I did the whole dance a year ago, and a candidate's time seems to be the least valuable resource in the system (or it's used as a currency to price how much you are dedicated to getting that job)

A developer built a bookmarklet that does it thought -> https://joshuatz.com/projects/web-stuff/linkedin-profile-to-json-resume-exporter-bookmarklet/ https://joshuatz.com/projects/web-stuff/linkedin-profile-to-... Works surprisingly well.
