Microsoft Corp. and Monster, the leading global online careers property and flagship brand of Monster Worldwide Inc., today announced a technology alliance designed to help job seekers build professional resumes. Through the alliance, Monster's downloadable Extensible Markup Language (XML)-enabled "smart" document templates can be seamlessly installed in Microsoft® Office Word 2003, enabling job seekers to upgrade the quality of their resume. The templates will be available via the Microsoft Office Online Web site, which is visited by nearly 25 million unique visitors per month.

The Microsoft-Monster alliance is designed to help job seekers create and submit professional-quality resumes easily using industry-standard XML. The resume templates, created in Word 2003, give job seekers the opportunity to build their resumes in a familiar format while incorporating expert resume advice from Monster, the leading provider of comprehensive career management products and services.

The advanced technology of Microsoft and Monster also allows job seekers to save their resume in Microsoft Word and promptly post it on the Monster Web site, making it readily viewable to thousands of leading employers nationwide. The use of XML enables the delivery of ready-to-use data to the Monster site, so that resumes can be instantly posted to an individual's My Monster account. Any Microsoft Office Word 2003 customer with an Internet connection will have access to the Monster resume templates.

oooh, that's pretty cool.
this combined with the adobe pdf plugin should make word 2003 a nice upgrade for some people.

I don't know about anyone else, but my experience with the Acrobat plugin for the Office System 2003 makes me cringe when anyone says "Adobe" or "PDF" anymore.

I still think I'll upgrade, though, even if the XML-integration were the only new feature in Office (and, let's face it, it is what Microsoft is concentrating on). InfoPath's abilities are really useful for XML, too; I hope Monster will make some XML schemas for that as well.
