What is meant by support europass within resume-schema directly? To me these seem to be separate competing standards.

rastislavcore commented 6 years ago

Support Europass API. We use it as standard here in Europe.

villasv commented 6 years ago

What do you mean with API? Does the Europass standard defines an API? It seems just a document spec to me.

stp-ip commented 6 years ago

Yeah it's sorta a competing standard. It might make sense to learn from it or make migrations between the 2 possible so. Also never even seen someone use Europass and I'm a native European...

villasv commented 6 years ago

@stp-ip I've seen it frequently used by european institutions prospecting international students, usually MBAs and Business Schools. I guess most HR companies still prefer smaller and concise resumes.

@raisty I like the idea since I live in Berlin, Germany I had used Europass CV before but now I use JSON Resume and would like to have a CV in the theme of Europass CV. I saw this project on GitHub https://github.com/jdlopez/europass and asked the project owner on make it clear in the README.md. I upvote for this feature ⬆️

stp-ip commented 5 years ago

Would be interesting to know, what made you switch from europass. What did you like about europass and what were the problems?

rastislavcore commented 5 years ago

Europass is standard in European Union. Any business even HR should accept it (depends on internal workflow, setup etc.). I never use for myself something else. Even abroad.

akarsh commented 5 years ago

@stp-ip In academic jobs in Berlin, the Europass CV makes it a good academic CV. But when I applied for startup companies and medium companies in Berlin. The HR rejected my CV being too lengthy more than 2 pages. So I had to abandon the Europass CV and create my own Résumés of one page and two pages. I found Resume JSON easy to handle as my data can be changed in the JSON file and I can choose the templates created by other contributors and change them according to my requirements. I published my version of resume theme in npm https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsonresume-theme-onepage-simplified

@raisty I agree with you but some companies are rejecting Europass CV I don't know why as they don't mention the reason in the reply emails. Some companies e.g. Mercedes-Benz in Germany have their own portal and have to manually fill all the fields and upload a CV.

I cannot agree. But understand special needs of HRs. If the company or HR (in European union) don't want accept Europass (as kind of standard), then is something wrong with HR department. Seriously. I work longer time in organisation that cover HR needs for Slovak government and we always looking for standardisations and specific need of HR companies and investors inside Slovakia and connected with Slovakia. Europass is standard in European union and with support of - for example cover letter - can be wide accepted. Maybe your issue was caused with missing other documents, but I don't believe the problem is with standardisation of Europass.

I am here to help you. If you have this issue, feel free contact me and I will do my best to find out what is the problem exactly. I will contact the specific company as well and get the details about issue. I am not allowed to do some specific tasks regards to your protection. Let me assist you as best as I can.

A request for some type of interoperability (i.e. "support") for Europass is reasonable given that the Europass system is supported and funded by the EU, appears to be used by tens of millions of Europeans per year since it launched in 2005, is backed by a well defined schema, and even appears to have had its own magazine that was published for a couple of years. Also, interoperability with Europass CV would open up a world of possibilities for jsonresume.

This issue is actually two requests, each can be implemented separately:

  1. ability to convert from Europass CV to jsonresume.
  2. ability to convert from jsonresume to Europass CV.

For from Europass CV:

Europass CV interop can be implemented as a transformation from a document that validates according to the Europass JSON schema to a document with the same content but that validates according to resume-schema.

Proposed toolchain:

  1. europasscv-parser-js: to parse a Europass CV (PDF or XML) into a javascript object.
  2. either json-transforms, jsonpath-object-transform, jslt: to transform this object from Europass CV (as a js object) to a jsonresume object. There are a few other json transformation tools reviewed on this stack overflow thread.

For to Europass CV:

Invert the transformation described in the from section. Europass supports JSON natively, so we would be done at that point.

Europass can read resume data embedded inside PDFs so that's also an option for output.

Where these transformations take place:

These converters can be implemented in their own repositories and used by any number of downstream dependents, (resume-cli for example.)

Currently resume-cli does not support custom importer / exporters, but its codebase is simple and flexible enough that this wouldn't be a heave lift.

(p.s. I love how the internet lets one reply to a three year old conversation as if it had just happened.)

evanplaice commented 4 years ago

@antialias Cool. If this is a tooling-specific issue, should this issue be moved to resume-cli instead?

antialias commented 4 years ago

My recommendation in the "Where these transformations take place" section suggests that the impact on resume-cli would only be to implement support for custom importers and exporters (resume-cli issue at https://github.com/jsonresume/resume-cli/issues/356), then implement the from and to pieces as separate packages (perhaps in their own repos). It would be a system similar to how themes are implemented in their own packages. This is all just a proposal so what do you think?
