Using R to compose CV's and resumes

My first blog post!

As I set out to explore new opportunities, I faced the really annoying task of updating my CV and resumé.

As I looked ways to make this process more simple and systematic, I came across Nick Strayer wonderful blogpost explaining how to achieve exacly this.

He recently turn this blogpost into an R package called datadrivencv.

This is my first post and this how to highlight.

Just experimenting, for the moment. Future posts will be written and shared.

Bigger font size

Bold font

Academic supports a Markdown extension for highlighting code syntax. This is already activated by toggling the highlight option in the config/_default/params.toml file.

This is how it looks like

import pandas as pd
data = pd.read_csv("data.csv")
data.head()

Diagrams

Academic supports a Markdown extension for diagrams. This looks really useful for me.

You can enable this feature by toggling the diagram option in your config/_default/params.toml file or by adding diagram: true to your page front matter.

Todo lists

You can even write your todo lists in Academic too:

- [x] Write math example
- [x] Write diagram example
- [ ] Do something else

renders as

• Write math example
• Write diagram example
• Do something else

Tables

Represent your data in tables:

| First Header  | Second Header |
| ------------- | ------------- |
| Content Cell  | Content Cell  |
| Content Cell  | Content Cell  |

Asides

Academic supports a Markdown extension for asides, also referred to as notices or hints. By prefixing a paragraph with A>, it will render as an aside. You can enable this feature by adding markup: mmark to your page front matter, or alternatively using the Alert shortcode.

A> A Markdown aside is useful for displaying notices, hints, or definitions to your readers.
