Ask HN: Where do you host your CV/resume?

7 points by whosbacon ↗ HN
I find it pretty annoying updating a bunch of sites (LinkedIn, AngelList, homepage, Dropbox, to name a few) whenever I want to update my CV. Building this tool as a response to that frustration.

Anyone else with that problem? What sites have at least a fragment of your CV that needs to be updated occasionally?

You can add to this list websites with programming challenges that also have some form of "candidate profile". HackerRank is one such site.

Have you looked at JSONResume [0]? I build my resume in JSON and use git and github pages along with the resume-cli [1] to export it out to HTML/PDF formats. My homepage is a single page hosted with github pages that links to these exported resumes and the JSON one too.

Ideally I would like a single CLI command that pushes out my updated resume to all those sites.

brief feedback: you _really_ need to spellcheck & get someone to proof read the copy!

i don't think i would use something like this as updating a CV is not something i do often enough to warrant introducing a dependency to some arbitrary third party system i am not already using.

thanks for the feedback! it does sound like -- between the lack of usage and available APIs -- that this is not a great project to start. shelving it for now.
