Why isn't there an XML or JSON format widely used for CVs? It would make sifting through CVs so much easier, plus it would make CVEO (CV engine optimization) a thing.

For our data model we started with https://jsonresume.org/ but needed to adapt a bit.

Ideally there would be something on https://json-schema.org/ (as there are for industry job posting standards)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes, it scrapes your data and retains it an undefined amount of time and also feeds it into an OpenAI LLM: https://www.iubenda.com/privacy-policy/57845026/full-legal I have no idea why one wouldn't instantly go ahead and install this extension /s

I'm not sure how one would get "AI-Enhanced Professional Writing" without feeding it into an LLM. This isn't underhanded, it's literally the product being offered.

The parent isn't being sarcastic about it being underhanded; they're implying that "AI-Enhance Professional Writing" and "enhanced content" regarding LLMs rewriting your resume isn't necessarily desirable, especially at the expense of losing control of your data.

i’ve been quietly on the job market the last month or so, and i’ve been kind of surprised at the number of recruiters who insist they need an “actual resume” instead of linkedin profile, which honestly has been my resume for about 15 years now. i finally dropped a PDF of my profile into claude and got a resume condensed, but i have a hard time seeing the advantage in this day and age.
