A great idea. If used on a large scale, this could be a tremendous tool for the recruiters, and could change the way that the various headhunter/recruitment/employment websites attract both candidates and employers.
Krz insists that you must:
Blog your resume.
This
is
how a
typical
resume looks like.
My opinion is that it's impossible to tell anything from a typical resume. So a guy says he knows PHP. Does it mean that he's a PHP guru who has written 100k lines of PHP code or that he's just finished "Learn PHP in 15 minutes"? No way to tell. My idea: blog your resume. In addition to a standard resume keep a log of all the stuff you're learning and doing. E.g. if today you wrote a 5k lines perl script that spiders the web and extracts interesting info, you would to your log a dated entry:
Finished 5k line Perl script to spider the web. Used LWP::Simple module...
Recording your daily/weekly accomplishments is incredibly useful. It helps communicate with your colleagues, customers, and supervisors. If you jot just two or three notes every day, in a year you've created a descriptive collage from hundreds of data points.
Your detailed trail of accomplishments is helpful to HR or a hiring manager only so far as you organize, categorize, connect, and summarize it.
For example, 15 different posts about your Perl scripting among 300 other posts are hidden and diffuse. You can keep the reader from drowning in detail with a one or two line summary, and a link to those 15 experiences (collected and organized and cleaned up).
Tech fix? Maybe livetopics plus Radio categories can help organize this material
This sounds like another opportunity for a tool that gathers, indexes, categorizes, and allows searching of a collection of specialized RSS feeds.
