For those in Europe this is already a solved problem: Europass [1]A service kindly provided by the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training [2] a European Union's agency.It has a CV builder and outputs an standardized PDF that can even be fed back into the builder for further updates.It is a joy when going through a pile of CVs to read the ones built by that tool, makes the job a lot easier because it allows the applicant to focus on the relevant data instead of on the layout. Better for the RH, better for the applicant, win win all around.[1] <a href="https://europass.cedefop.europa.eu/en/home" rel="nofollow">https://europass.cedefop.europa.eu/en/home</a>[2] <a href="http://www.cedefop.europa.eu/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cedefop.europa.eu/</a>

Resume tip : don't say "I was responsible for ...."use the STAR system : Situation, Task, Action, ResultsWhile I was part of the Transport Team I reviewed the delivery schedules by analysing historic data in Excel. I was able to reduce transport costs by 10% per year and increase utilisation by 3%.Don't be afraid of : we found that there were no improvements possible which resulted in no extra spending for the coming year.

Looks good, I wonder how it compares to <a href="https://jsonresume.org/" rel="nofollow">https://jsonresume.org/</a>One of the things I liked about jsonresume is I could separate the data from the layout.

When I think "elegant text", I think Tex. My resume is in Tex (fork it and your may be too). And do not forget to use Sharelatex and you are not installing any software to get a nicely typeset PDF resume.<a href="https://github.com/cies/resume" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/cies/resume</a>

I have to say that although interesting, you're still in a situation where potential employers will print off copies of your CV and hand them around for people to comment on.The golden rule I stick to is your CV (excluding detailed work history) should fit on one page. I'm not sure this supports this.

Hey, guys! I'm one of the core collaborators for JSON Resume[0], an alternative to this project.Markdown is cool, but as scrollaway said,> JSON Resume wants to standardize CV fields to improve compatibility between tools, ease conversion, ease theming and such.In fact, we have a notion of "themes", and this sort of markdown-based format can be generated from your JSONResume. We think that JSON is a saner default interchange format than markdown.If you've been following JSONResume development, you might have thought the project died, but myself, along with @aloisdg and others are reviving it and working towards a stable v1.0.0 release. Feel free to suggest changes and make PRs :)[0] - <a href="https://github.com/jsonresume" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/jsonresume</a>

tl;dr - It is a web app that turns form input into a downloadable markdown file.There is a demo w/ live preview that displays the markdown with Bootstrap css. Here's a screenshot, <a href="http://imgur.com/qCM0yo2" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/qCM0yo2</a>The author provides a gist that shows the markdown displayed in GitHub's css, <a href="https://gist.github.com/awalGarg/a8e97b27b249f2c94f8e" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/awalGarg/a8e97b27b249f2c94f8e</a>

Apparently we have very different opinions as to what constitutes elegant. I would call the example messy and confusing.

A markdown resume certainly could look simple and elegant, but this tool is nowhere near it.

Obligatory post about how the WTFPL is a poor license choice.

I've used Markdown Resume Builder before (<a href="http://there4development.com/markdown-resume/" rel="nofollow">http://there4development.com/markdown-resume/</a>) and aside from sometimes fighting with a few layout issues it is great.From a markdown source file it produces a pretty clean PDF/html version of my resume and can choose from multiple preset styles.

The site is broken for me in Chrome. Though in any case, I prefer to use LaTeX for my resume -- can't imagine markdown beating that.

I miss the point with this entirely, but for those that are looking for a "input markdown -> output web-friendly/pdf-friendly resumé" head over to my CV repository at <a href="https://github.com/andreineculau/cv" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/andreineculau/cv</a> and fork it!

The markdown-to-pdf resume toolchain I'm currently using is:(1) Render with <a href="https://github.com/joeyespo/grip" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/joeyespo/grip</a> (with a few minor CSS tweaks)(2) "Print" to PDF with ChromeThe documents it produces are quite sober, but I find it works very well.

<a href="https://europass.cedefop.europa.eu/en/home" rel="nofollow">https://europass.cedefop.europa.eu/en/home</a> you can export it as xml and you can upload it later to update. It sends you a pdf or word file to your email if you want.

I want to like this, but I don't think it adds anything; you might as well just go with YAML at that point.As an accessibility obsessive, I really don't like the idea of using `code` tags for decorative purposes.

Love it.Back in 2012 I asked @gruber on twitter if he thought it was ok to submit a resume in markdown, his response was:"For the right kind of job, I’d wager it’s an advantage to submit in Markdown."

Europe also has NemCV.com. Already in Denmark it is the largest resume provider and has now expanded into Sweden, UK, and Germany soon

Not to brag, but I have a pretty well put together resume in HTML: <a href="http://greg.team-duck.com/resume.html" rel="nofollow">http://greg.team-duck.com/resume.html</a>While almost no one accepts .html as a resumé format and it's difficult to convert to .pdf or .docx seamlessly, it works pretty well for converting to .txt for some job applications.I've thought about making a simple resume builder for this format.

I really wish this would just output to a json string. Then we can put it through whatever engines we want.

A developer who lacks the communication skills necessary to write a resume by hand isn't worth having. They may be great at what they do, but everyone needs to be able to communicate effectively.Any HR department that relies on automated tools, that only reads resumes that match a profile dictated by the needs of an automated reading machine, isn't doing its job. If they are getting too many useless resumes that they need robot to read them, they need to better describe the offerings and/or broadcast to a more focused audience.Announcing jobs to everyone in the world and sifting through the millions of applicants with a machine might make you feel good, it might make you think you are finding the diamond in the rough, but in reality you are selecting candidates almost by lottery.

Please excuse my questions, I'm old and slow... I see where I can try it myself, can I see one already done (before investing the time to download and try it myself)? As an hourly contractor, everything is a tradeoff w/billable hours.

Not an expert, correct me if I am wrong here. But I've wrestled with something similar.Be careful not to use REM for font-sizes as @Print ignores them, if you must (and obviously I/Brain must) you could get around by using % (so 1.5 REM -> 150%). Make sure to set font-size on both body and html.Also, not sure how to explain it, but if you open up a PDF in Preview, and select print. You might get a different size/layout and some design issues there. So always double check, but be careful not to use the Printed (Saved from Preview.app) as it disables links.Don't spend any time on CSS transitions, as a PDF won't show them(?) (yep, sigh)Also watch out for printers adding margins both top/bottom and sides.

What would you guys want to see in a blogging platform?Markdown or WYSIWYG? Or both somehow?Git for source control? Or versioning and diffs like wordpress?Themes? Purely css or something more, less secure? How would you want to host it and customize it?Would you want any social features besides roles and permissions? Such as quoting content from others, or pingbacks or something?Finally, generate static files or just cache heavily? I think the latter is better but a script can exist to generate the former on environments where caching infrastructure isn't very robust.Comments - here I would just say use third party javascript based stuff and plop it on the page.It's kind of related to this post but I have built a framework where I could probably make a blogging app like Wordpress in a week.
