I don't know how much benefit you'll get on a resume from having read about, as opposed to _used_, DITA, but some knowledge is better than none. DITA is both a specific framework and an approach. My documentation group is currently working through the book _[DITA Best Practices: A Roadmap for Writing, Editing, and Architecting in DITA](http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/0132480522)_ by Laura Bellamy, Michelle Carey, and Jenifer Schlotfeldt and we're finding it a good introduction so far. We are not planning to migrate to the DITA _framework_, but we've been trying to apply a similar _approach_ on our own and we're finding the book helpful for pointing out issues we haven't necessarily thought enough about. The book contains a lot of information specific to the framework too, so it should be even more helpful for somebody who's going all-in on DITA. The book is under 300 pages and not terribly dense, so you should be able to absorb it in less than a week.
