I planned to update my resume, since the project that i’ve been working on will conclude soon. I usually use LibreOffice Writer to edit my resume, but i’ve known people use html, javascript, … to generate their Resume. This is a 2 day expedition into the process.
Preparing a Json-Resume from previous Word Documents
From what I’ve seen, jsonresume standard is most inclusive and supports many tools. There were many other formats like fresh-json, yaml-resume and so on. If one wants to work with JsonResume, then its better to install resume-cli with npm i -g resume-cli. resume init to initialize a json file. I convrted it to yaml format, for it is easier to edit, with bat <file> | yq e -P - and started adding my detailes from my word doc.
Themes used
I’ve spent a long time to fine one because i did not know how to configure if i found a theme, two decision paralysis. I’ve started to use jsonresume-theme-macchiato, when i discovered that i could configure the themes by editing the files in the repo. There were .hbs files that could be edited to my preferences. At this point I had a functional resume, and stopped working on it.
