I have updated my resume and it’s back (PDF version on this website. It had been 3 years since I updated it, so it required a lot of work.

Before doing this update, I read Joel Spolsky’s Getting Your Resume Read and the resume tips of two Microsoft recruiters blog. A lot of common sense there, but it’s so important that it’s good to read it again.

I have put some link to job blogs on my Link Blog.

I made a PDF and a HTML version of my resume. For the PDF I used Word and Acrobat Distiller, and the HTML one was done by hand. I tried to use the XML Resume Library: You write your resume in XML and the tool generates PDF, HTML and TXT automatically. The generation worked well, but the problem I had was that the Document Type Definition (DTD) used for describing the resumes was not flexible enough for my curriculum. In particular all my travels didn’t fit well in the model. So I concluded it would be quicker to do a simple and nice CV in Word and translate it manually in HTML (using CSS of course).
