XML Résumé Library:: Examples
XML Résumé Library:: Examples
I derived my CV from this example 2.
I derived my CV from this example 2.
A German (contractor end) recruiter told me a while ago to move the periods to the beginning of the individual employments. I did that. I still think, German recruiters are not happy with this layout.

a recruiter asked for some changes in the style of my CV, and I changed the XSL stylesheets
Quite a couple of years ago I picked up xmlresume as my way of maintaining my CV.
A while ago I had to recognise, that xmlresume should be regarded vaporware nowadays. I started looking around, considered to migrate to HR-XML and its CV resp. profile style, but that didn't really convince me either.
In the course of the changing economical situation I decided to regard XSL no longer as rocket science. It's not more powerful that attribute grammars in compiler construction, so why should it be more complicated?
So now together with the pressure of that recruiter I dared to have a look into xmlresume's XSL stylesheets, and I actually achieved, what I attempted to achieve:

- I changed the order of per-project details,
- and also changed the indentation of the project period,
- and all that for the FO and also for the HTML output.

updating my xmlresume CV to mention Shell more often
I applied for a contracting position, the recruiter likes my CV, but he wants to see the term Shell mentioned far more often. Alright then…
Actually it's always quite funny as well (updating the CV), as it's yet another nice XML document to edit in emacs with nxml-mode: it's in xmlresume.
A little typing, a lot of copy+paste until back to 1980, a few ruby rake tasks executed, exported the RTF from Open Office as Word file, uploaded, messaged the recruiter – done.

my CV or Resume in XML
Until not too long ago I had kept my CV in DocBook, then I converted it to XMLRésumé (but the project really looks dead nowadays), now I am converting it to HR-XML/Resume. Yes, I know, its project admin just recently declared this SourceForge project as inactive. But then, what alternatives are there?
Of course, I want to edit HR-XML files in emacs using a RELAX-G grammar, but I didn't find any on the web. Well, that's not really a huge problem. Take a few nice sample files (of any XML), stuff them into trang, and trang creates a RELAX-NG grammar from them. Of course, that kind of grammar is far from perfect, but it's better than nothing, and you can always improve it manually, that's not that hard. That way I created a RELAX-NG "compact grammar" for HR-XML/Resume last night.
The grammar created actually has problems with InternetWebAddress and Competency, but I was able to fix that for my personal use.
HR-XSL comes with a nice "XMLRésumé -> HR-XML/Resume" converter, that way my old XMLRésumé CV got converted into a good initial version for HR-XML/Resume. HR-XSL uses DocBook for creating HTML and PDF, but there is also a "DocBook -> RTF" converter, that I want to make use of.
