This package houses the code and template data files used to construct variations of my data-driven curriculum vitae.

This approach uses the R programming language to automate repetitive elements of the job application process, resulting in an efficient, reproducible, easily customized and extended workflow.

This package is not on CRAN. If you would like to use it, you can install it directly from GitHub by running the following in your console:

remotes::install_github("bainmatt/autocv")

Follow this vignette in the autocv documentation to get started.

Alternatively, if you're in a hurry, the most straightforward way to get up and running is to:

1. Install the project
2. Copy these spreadsheets into your data/ directory
3. Copy these stylesheets into your inst/extdata directory
4. Open resume_data.xlsx and cover_data.xlsx and modify the entries
5. Set your paths and job info in job_data.xlsx
6. Run the commands in the Makefile

This project is inspired by, and heavily borrows from, Nick Strayer’s excellent data-driven cv template (exemplar), which builds upon the pagedown html_resume template. Further inspiration and design refinements were borrowed from Matt Leary’s resume repository (examplar). Thank you to the creators of these projects.
