Here's my resume in XML. Pretty cool! It uses the resume schema devised by the HR-XML Consortium. Now, apply a XSL and CSS stylesheet and we have something worth reading. By the way, if you want the XML, then View Source.

Update: Basically done. Now, I just have to style it up. Doesn't work in Moz, only IE. Not certain why. It says "Error loading stylesheet." Looks like an IIS/Moz conflict as it works fine when I load the file directly from my harddrive. Argg!

error in resume.xsd on isbntype should be

<xsd:simpleType name="isbnType">
  <xsd:annotation>
    <xsd:documentation>International Standard Book Number. The ISBN is defined by the ISO ISO 2108 standard. The International Standard Book Number (ISBN) is a 10-digit system to identify books and monographic publications.
    </xsd:documentation>
  </xsd:annotation>
  <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
    <xsd:pattern value="[0-9,X]{10}"/>
  </xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>

As an employer, I would immediately discard this resume.  Anyone who is too lazy/sloppy to fix the numerous typos in their resume would obviously also be too lazy/sloppy to fix bugs in the code they write.

Poor Lucian needs another nap ;)

Updated the resume. Looks like I've got a handful of ops lined up for when I return. Truth, iM looking for something great. If you have something like that in the TO area, then get in touch.

Hello Randy.

Thank you for being a pioneer in publishing your resume in XML using HR-XML's schema. 

I found your web site while looking for "resume.xsd."  I was getting frustrated formatting my professional history on a web page using <table> and later <div>.  There was too much nesting.  Having a resume.xml and an XSLT will make it much easier.

I just validated your resume against http://ns.hr-xml.org/2_1/HR-XML-2_1/SEP/Resume.xsd using XML Spy.  I found 1 problem that occurs twice.  The definition for ISBN calls for 10 digits.  You have the character 'X' in two of your publications.

Thanks again for showing me the way.

Obviously the schema is wrong in that regard because books' ISBNs do often end with X, which represents the checksum value 10 (ISBN uses mod-11 arithmetic.)

I guess it might be an idea to make a local copy of the schema to get around this.

A question in regards to this.  I'm planning to do the same to my own resume soon and need some XSLs.  You reference one which is currently unreadable according to Firefox but probably works in a real XSLT processor anyway.  Do you know of anything which can do XSL:FO or WordML?  Either of those might be useful for the obvious reasons (PDF and Office export.)

I've informed the HR-XML consortium of the but in their XSD and they have confirmed and indicated that an interim release might contain my fix. Sorry, no WordML.

Randy

that's "bug in their XSD", not "but"

Hi

I have a question. Please help.

I have a xml file containing different cars and each car have a id.

I have a text (name of car) and a textbox for each car where I want to assosiate the textbox name with the id of the car.

I tryed

<input name="xsl:value-of select="@id" />

But this does not work as xsl:value-of select="@id" is treated as text and not the actual id of the car..

Do u know how to do this?

if so plz send me a mail to arntmoberg@hotmail.com

Perhaps the resume writer was too busy correcting bugs and could not spend time correcting typos. OR Perhaps the writer was busy with other (more exciting and innovative such as using xml) endeavors to perfect his resume. As an employee, I would immediately reconsider working for this worrywart entrepreneur. Anyone (but mostly this employer) who makes such a leap of logic is intellectually lazy/sloppy.
