We should create a universal .job file. The file type would actually just be comma separated values in a spreadsheet, but we should agree to a universal order that the questions are asked.
For example
- First Name
- Middle Name
- Last name
- Highest level of school achieved (None, High school, under grad, etc)
- Current address 1
- Current address 2
- Current address City
- Current address State
- Current address Zip
- Current address Country
- Age
- Ability to work in USA
- Will you require sponsorship to work in the USA?
- Are you currently employed
- Most recent employer
- Most recent job title
- Most recent job start date
- Most recent end date, if not, select currently employed.
- etc
We could find through current applications available online which data is often listed at the top of the priority. There would have to be some committee for the questions at the way bottom.
The main purpose of the .job file is to be able to input your data with one click. You can fill out as much as possible.
Employers wouldn't be forced to use all the data. They might only care about 1-10.
Job sites like monster could make it easier to match you up with open jobs.
It would make "sex, age, race blind" employment easier because software is getting better at determining which applicants would fit their position best according to past employee application data.
