Add Volunteer Experience

katamaritaco commented 10 years ago

It would be great to see a section dedicated to Volunteering experience, something that I don't think quite fits in with either hobbies or work.

(related to #38 where volunteer jobs is also discussed)

Sort of annoying that volunteer work is the same as open source but we would put them in different sections mmmm

thomasdavis commented 10 years ago

So I believe volunteerWork should just be like work, but change company to organization.

I'd probably also vote to just set it as volunteer.

@wdoekes @opensourcegrrrl @DandyDev need to wrap this one up pretty quick

+1 for company to organization

I would like to keep separate volunteering at an animal shelter and open-source projects.

DonDebonair commented 10 years ago

+1 for adding section named volunteer. +1 for giving it the same properties as work, and changing company to organization.

Sidenote: organization is US English, while organisation is UK English. What are we using?

osg commented 10 years ago

US English.

Good point! ;)

By adding volunteer in addition to work, we have perfect duplication (because all entries would fit in a single category, that's why we're copying the schema), but it makes sense to separate them, of course.

But if we add an extra opensource section as well, I'm fairly convinced this is too much:

It's specific to a single industry. We should maybe call the project "TechResume" then.
Open-source work is the volunteer work of the tech industry. If you're a lawyer, you may join societies that give legal advice to poor people for free. That's their volunteer work. In tech, you don't have this, you have open-source work instead.
A schema should be as general as possible. Just because an open-source section makes sense for programmers etc., doesn't mean one should add it. A section for programming languages would make sense as well, but should we add it? No. What would you say if people from dozens of industries came and wanted to add their domain-specific sections and fields?

What's the goal and ambition of this project? The project's website says:

community driven open source initiative to create a JSON based standard for résumés. There is no reason why there can't be a common standard for writing a résumé

Well, this means it's trying to do what Europass etc. intended but where they did not succeed: establishing a standard for writing CVs.

If this is still the goal, and the audience is still "everybody" and not only tech people, we should not add domain-specific sections. (And if we did, we should do it for dozens of industries, not only one.)

DonDebonair commented 10 years ago

Agree with Marco! I think open source work can perfectly well fit into the projects or volunteer categories. No need to add a separate section for that.

thomasdavis commented 10 years ago

Yeah, open source will fit into either work or volunteer for now, will come back to it later.

Marking issue as PR needed.
