hResume is a microformat for publishing résumé or Curriculum Vitae (CV) information [1] using (X)HTML on web pages. Like many other microformats, hResume uses CSS class names to make an otherwise non-semantic XHTML document more meaningful. A document containing resume information could be improved to use hResume without altering the appearance to the browser, making it easy to adopt.

Structure

edit

hResume provides for seven main areas of information, each denoted with an appropriately named CSS class, and all of them optional except for contact info.

  • summary
  • contact (uses the microformat hCard)
  • experience
  • education
  • skills
  • affiliations
  • publications

A example of hResume being implemented is the social networking site LinkedIn, where it is used on public profile pages. [2]
