The European Union also has a CV Format, already translated in the 25 (?) European Languages. You first have to enter your resume once (I mainly copy the information I already update on LinkedIn) https://europass.cedefop.europa.eu/editors/de/cv/compose and then you get a PDF+XML document which you can send to companies or re-upload to the EU website in order to update it. It's very handy and would be surely easy to a…

There is nothing wrong with Europass CV. In EU one cannot go wrong with it, although it's terribly space inefficient. Check available LaTeX Europass CV templates on the web/github. Using interchangeably clean, academic-style LaTeX template and Europass CV LaTeX template haven't noticed any difference in response rates.

Just so you know, LinkedIn released something similar: https://blog.linkedin.com/2018/february/7/rock-your-resume-w...

This should be standard functionality built into LinkedIn, they let you export to PDF but it sucks. Depending on office365 is scummy

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Makes sense, though I don’t think it’ll happen soon, considering LinkedIn holds a lot more information than the average 1 page resume. I don’t keep all my work experience on my resume.

Exactly. That was the hardest part of making this extension... trying to decide what to strip off of peoples' profiles to get it to fit on a single page.

Single page has really gone out of style for experienced talent (if ot ever was in for those people). People switch jobs too much and the way resumes steer stored and read has changed since that was the standard. Mine is three dense pages and that is still heavily trimmed.

The most important part of my resume is the top third of the first page that lists skills, technologies, and finance specific information that allow a recruiter or target person to easily see I do and get a feeling for my career path without having to go into the job specific details yet. I don't really see a way to do something like that.
