The FRESH Resume Schema

======

*A rational schema for your résumé or CV. Based on [FRESH][f].*



The [FRESH résumé schema][fresh] is an open source, standards-friendly,

JSON/YAML-driven format for résumé / CVs and other employment artifacts.



- [**View the official FRESH schema document.**][schema]

- [**View a sample FRESH resume.**][exemplar]



FRESH is supported natively by [HackMyResume][hmr] and can be trivially

converted to and from the [JSON Resume][jrs] format.



## What It Does



FRESCA establishes an optimized, human-readable, computer-friendly

representation for your résumé and career data based on JSON or equivalent

YAML...



```js

// Pared-down FRESH/FRESCA resume representation (JSON)

{

  "name": "Jane Doe",

  "info": { /* Basic info */ },

  "contact": { /* Contact information */ },

  "location": { /* Location / address */ },

  "meta": { /* Resume metadata */ },

  "employment": { /* Employment history */ },

  "projects": [ /* Project history */ ],

  "skills": [ /* Skills and technologies */ ],

  "education": { /* Schools, training, certifications */ },

  "affiliation": { /* Clubs, groups, and associations */ },

  "service": { /* Volunteer, military, civilian service */ },

  "disposition": { /* Disposition towards work, relocation, schedule */ },

  "writing": [ /* Writing, blogging, and publications */ ],

  "reading": [ /* Books and publication a la StackOverflow Careers */ ],

  "speaking": [ /* Writing, blogging, and publications */ ],

  "governance": [ /* Board memberships, committees, standards groups */ ],

  "recognition": [ /* Awards and commendations */ ],

  "extracurricular": [ /* Interests & hobbies */ ],

  "interests": [ /* Interests & hobbies */ ],

  "languages": [ /* languages spoken */ ]

}

```



...which you can use to generate resumes and other career artifacts in specific

concrete formats (HTML, LaTeX, Markdown, PDF, etc.) as well as enable

21st-century analysis of your resume and career data in a way that's not

possible with traditional, 20th-century resume tools and formats.



## Anatomy of a FRESH Resume



FRESH resumes are:



- Text-based.

- Versionable.

- Standards-compliant.

- Human-readable/editable.

- Computer-friendly / easily parsable by tools.

- Built from JSON or equivalent YAML.

- Used to generate specific formats like HTML, PDF, or LaTeX.

- Free from proprietary structures or site- and/or tool-specific lock-in.
