This résumé is based on my real skills and experience. Everything you read in there is true.

Follow the commits to track the tweaks and changes.

Anyone is welcome to re-use this résumé as a template for their own.

The best way to modify the contents is to fork this repo and go through the source code of index.html line by line to edit as you see fit.

The layout and styles are based on Bootstrap v.4. I merged their blog and gallery examples with some of my own ideas.

I used some commercial icons from FontAwesome Pro. They require a paid subscription. You can opt out by using their free styles and designs. I find the Pro version more elegant and well worth the money.

Google Chrome prints a better version than FireFox, but neither is good enough when printed or saved as PDF. Append ?prn to the URL to produce a simplified, single page version with a link to the full version on GitHub. E.g. https://resume.rimutaka.me/?prn.

A product manager is a very varied role. You are not really an inventor, but you are creating something completely new at the same time. So I approached this résumé project as just another product. I defined my preferred type of customer, looked around for good ideas and put some of them into a form that hopefully appeals to the target audience.

• Customer: a CEO or a founder of a small to mid-size business working on a new product. They have resources, but not too much to still need someone agile and scrappy.
• Minimal layout: that's just my style - I like to keep things simple and focus on the contents.
• Show, don't tell: avoid superlatives and self-assessments. Let the readers decide for themselves.
• Flow:
  • Who I am
  • What I am
  • What I can do for you
  • What I made for others
  • Skills I learned
  • Social proof (what others say about me)
  • What makes me tick
  • My growth path, what I learned
  • Misc
  • Sharing with the community

I intentionally omitted some skills and traits from the document. They should be evident by looking at this project as a whole. If they are not, then they shouldn't be included anyway. E.g. do I know anything about marketing or do I have attention to detail?

The absence of education section is due to my lack of formal education. There is some room in the sidebar to insert yours.

The printing template is intentionally stripped down from most of the content and links directly to GitHub:

• this is a living document, which a PDF file is not
• my target audience doesn't need explaining what GitHub is
• they can always print the full version if they need to

So the printing template is a document you submit to some online HR system because it only takes a PDF or MS Word file. If what they see in there is not enough to make them reach for the online version it's probably a lost cause anyway. I may be completely wrong here.

Give this repo a star or post an issue sharing your experience if this template was of any help. Pay it forward.
