FRESCA
The FRESH Résumé & Employment Schema
The FRESH résumé schema is an open source, standards-friendly, JSON/YAML-driven format for résumé / CVs and other employment artifacts.
FRESH is supported as a native format by both FluentCV Desktop and Command Line and can be trivially converted to and from JSON Resume.
What It Does
FRESCA establishes an optimized, human-readable, computer-friendly representation for your résumé and career data based on JSON or equivalent YAML...
