Isn't the look of your resume one of your competitive advantages as job-seeker? Sorry I really don't understand the use-case. Having an API is good for styling (as you say), or doing some soft of programmatic transformation to data. I am having trouble understanding the need to do either for a resume. Maybe it would help as metadata for a search engine, but in that case I think a plain text search would be just as effective? I think json schema is a really nice thing to have and I'd like to see more people adopt it, but I'm having trouble coming up with the point for this use.

Came here to say this. I feel the same way — even about the schema. Having a poorly-organized or thought out resume should be an immediate signal to employers. This eliminates that. Of course, this is not to imply that having a really well-done resume is really worth much either.
