I broke the job listing pages away from the other listing
pages in  
the wiki, discussing my reasoning on this list prior to
doing so, and  
I believe there was general agreement that job listings
don't share  
the same semantics as most other listings.  Specifically,
most  
listings are selling something, whereas job listings are
essentially  
offering to buy something (i.e. labor).  I hope keeping them
separate  
will make them both more useful for the specific task
intended.

Peace,
Scott

I hope y'all have seen this, but this is what I'm
referring to when I
talk about dove-tails joints...

Niall Kennedy has posted his resume in Atom:

http://www.niallkennedy.com/blog/archi
ves/2006/01/atom-resume-podcast.html
http://
www.niallkennedy.com/about/resume.atom

It's not clear whether he used hResume, those he's a clear
candidate
to do so. What would be interesting and useful to me is to
look at
what hJobs his resume might match up with -- not in a
deterministic
way per se, but a looser kind of "related problem
solving experience"
kind of way.

In that sense, again, I see a need to standardize the
classes to be
consistent -- i.e. skills desired and skills offered could
be marked
up as... well... "skills". Etc.

I do think that hListing might be useful as a type of
container or
vessel, but then again, that's more or less what hAtom
does.

I wonder if it might be worth considering the definitive
differences
between hAtom and hListing in the context of syndicating
hJobs and
hResumes.
