From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


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]
