PDF Resume with Relaxed.JS (mnjul's design)

This is my personal résumé edited with ReLaXed.

Master document template: resume.pug.
Stylesheet: resume.scss.

While web-based resumes are increasingly popular, some employers still require a PDF document. PDF CVs can be created from Word or LaTeX templates, HTML/CSS layouts are more diverse and sometimes better looking.

In this example, we are converting this project, a clean and beautiful HTML CV designed for printing by Min-Zhong "John" Lu (@mnjul on github).

Some highlights:

  • Since the resume is composed of item sections with similar structures, we define an item mixin, which makes the final source much less verbose.
  • Have a look at the SCSS file: we are stealing all the styling from the internet (Google fonts, Font-Awesome, and of course @mnjul's CSS stylesheet). We only write two lines of specific CSS to fix some glitches in Google Chrome
  • It's nice that PDFs don't carry the weight of the CSS/JS libraries they use. The end result has a super-small size (30k)
