More on a resume / CV on the Fediverse on Social Web.

Another option could be to use something like "JSON resume":

https://jsonresume.org/

https://github.com/jsonresume/resume-schema/blob/master/job-schema.json

It seems to be popular.

It isn't JSON-LD. Although I think it would be straightforward to translate it to JSON-LD, if that was desired.

@reiver I've seen this thread from you, and sorry for being negative but I just have to ask: what's wrong with having a link to your CV in a PDF format in the content of your Actor's profile? We don't need to make everything an ActivityPub object in my opinion.

@mariusor

It is a fair question.

...

My thinking is —

If the resume is in JSON, JSON-LD, or some other machine-legible format, then —

Applications can render the resume / CV however they want (and aren't just displaying the way it was rendered in the PDF).

Tools can edit JSON, JSON-LD, etc. It would be difficult (and likely impractical) for them to edit a PDF.

Software can "understand" what is in JSON, JSON-LD, etc easier than a PDF.

@mariusor

Consider this use-case:

Someone wants to get hired on the Fediverse.

To build a "good" jobs oriented search for recruiters and hiring managers, I think it would be preferable to know if the phrase "software engineer" is a previous job title, or just appears in a random 'Note' on the Fediverse.

@reiver sure, but the service that wants to provide ActivityPub job support should come up with a model first... while there are no producers/consumers of such a thing, maybe we're putting the carriage before the horses. :D
