My pagedown rendered CV

Switch to googlesheets

As I get older and more crotchety I find it more and more difficult to manually update a CSV. In response to this, I have moved the data-storing mechanism from a plain CSV to google sheets using the wonderful googlesheets4 package. This allows for a much more easy updating system and also makes it easy to store all the other info that didn't feel write to put into a CSV before (like the intro and aside text) right with everything as separate pages/sheets within the main sheet.

Structure

This repo contains the source-code and results of my CV built with the pagedown package and a modified version of the 'resume' template.

The main files are:

  • cv.Rmd: Source template for the cv, contains a YAML variable pdf_mode in the header that changes styles for pdf vs html.
  • render_cv.R: R script for rendering both pdf and html version of CV at the same time.
    • index.html: The final output of the template when the header variable PDF_EXPORT is set to FALSE. View it at nickstrayer.me/cv.
    • strayer_cv.pdf: The final exported pdf as rendered by Chrome on my mac laptop. Links are put in footer and notes about online version are added.
  • styles/*, dd_cv.css: Custom CSS files used to tweak the default 'resume' format from pagedown.
  • resume.Rmd: Source template for single page resume. (Currently neglected compared to CV.)
    • resume.html/strayer_resume.pdf: Result for single page resume.

Want to use this to build your own CV/resume?

I built a package that makes setting up a CV this way rather easy: datadrivencv.

The easiest way to get going is running these lines in the directory you want to have your CV in:

devtools::install_github("nstrayer/datadrivencv")

datadrivencv::use_datadriven_cv(full_name = "My Name")

This should populate your directory with the appropriate files to get started building your CV. Just fill in the internals with your own info. For a more detailed set of examples, see the packages website and docs.

Looking for the old version with just a single CSV?

The blog post I originally wrote about this process used an older version of this document. I think that the new googlesheets method is easier to maintain and extend, however the old version is alive and well here.
