resume tools

moin moin,

playing around with resume stuff this weekend and I was wondering if
anyone had recommendations for something to use.

I wrote something a few years back that does multi-page HTML resumes and
also created PDF and text versions. The text versions suck, but the PDF
versions come out nicely. The main advantage of my tool is that the data
is stored in a database and I can maintain and track different versions.

Most of us in tech need to have different versions of our resumes,
especially those of us who could be applying for management, system
administration, development, teaching, consulting, etc. jobs :)

I've been playing with XML resume this weekend. <!-- long question about a
bug in XML resume redacted --> In trying to figure out a couple of things
with it I ran into HR-XSL, which seems to be maintained.

I'd like to use something that uses standardized formatting rather than
the one-off thing I built. I'd also like to use something that gets
maintained during the times that I'm not considering a new job :).

xml-resume is pretty much a dead project, but it seems to work.

Looks like HR-XSL is being maintained. The format seems to be more
annoying and directed at HR-speak, but that's probably a benefit even if
it's annoying.

Hmm, Open Source Recruiter includes Open Document as an output format.
