Hi Chuck,
Thanks for the insight. I'd love to see the drafts when they become available.
I'm curious, how do you envision describing common job posting
artifacts like 'full-time', 'part-time', 'contract' using hListing?

I think those are exactly the kinds of items that are likely border-line for inclusion in a microformat. I think the challenge of this is keeping the
"micro" in this format. If you had to boil this down to the very essential things "a human first" and a "computer second" would search/leverage with
respect to job information on the web, you are likely talking about little more than:
Organization
Industry
Occupation classification (e.g., Accountant, Software Engineer, etc.)
Location ( City, Region, PostalCode, Country, etc.)
Remuneration (likely a range and or description)
Competency (anyone interested in a "Wikipedia of Skills"?
http://www.hr-xml.org/blog/?p=161 )
How to apply (basically hCard stuff)
An HR aside (mircoformatters needn't read on) -- The "classification stuff" - 'full-time', 'part-time', 'contract' etc. - is tricky territory from an
HR perspective and traditionally has been modeled in a way that munges a lot of concepts together (often in the form of a system-specific "job
classification code"). I'm going to be putting a webinar on the schedule in the next month to zoom in on how we've remodeled this stuff in a much more
sensible and consistent way than in the past. But I assure you (and I'm sure few on this list will doubt), our new model belongs in the back office
and not in a microformat.
I'll follow-up off line so we can get you connected under Vurv's membership.
