Recently I decided to markup and design an online resume for myself. Partly because I need to start building a portfolio and figured why not start with a resume since it would be useful, and partly because I needed motivation to practice.
While looking for inspiration, I came over some resumes marked up in hResume; a microformat of various classes for semantically marking up your resume. I’ve been working with it and though it was confusing at first, I think I’ve gotten the hang of it. I think the hardest thing about hResume is that its comprised not only of its own classes, but it also makes use of various other microformats.
Emily Lewis of A Blog Not Limited has written up a great, detailed post about hResume as part of her series on microformats. I highly recommend looking over it if you’re thinking of marking up with hResume, because she does a great job of explaining and clearing things up.
Also, checking out the examples on the hResume Wiki with firebug helps a lot as you can see how different people have implemented hResume.
