Re: Researcher in Semantic Web

Remember folks, the perfect job application is the URI of your CV.

Interesting that jobs in the SW/LD/Web-o-sphere tend to ask everything
but a simple URI. Never mind all the hoops that one has to go through
just to apply for a position eg. this ad in particular invites potential
candidates to hop through a random recruitment company.. agree to their
terms, create account, refill personal data again.. again.. and again,
or in exchange of some convenience, hop through LinkedIn/Google+ (that
thing still around?), which they'd be happy to have a peek at what
you're up to and throw your stuff into the aggregate pile of goodz. How
many eyes will be on that again? Heck, just by going to the application
URL, one faces Google Analytics.

So, didn't this community like invest a lot of time and energy into
researching/developing CV/Resume stuff? I can name a few off the top of
my head. So, where are all the doers hiding? or the cool SW systems that
the community promised to build and change the funky world of ours? How
many grants were filed. doing. exactly. that? Failed tech or just lack
of incentives.. maybe laziness? Lacking a sustainable model?

PS: if I were to write a job application for a role involving SW/LD
stuff (even within the frame of a research institution), the *only* hard
requirement would be their personal CV URI. No, not the URL to some
random company's website. If a candidate can't even provide their URI in
this day and age, why even bother? "PhD or equivalent within the field
of Computer Science [..] Experience with [..] web development
technologies" means what exactly in the end? A promise that they are
capable.. but no proof whatsoever?

PPS: I'm skeptical of SW/LD job postings with date formats like
"01-10-2019", but that's a separate story.
