# Resume templates A clean one-page resume (`basic-resume` 0.2.9) designed to be read well by applicant tracking systems. It prints the name and contact line itself; the page holds the sections. ## Templates ### Resume Use for a CV or resume. Parameters of `resume`: - `author` (`""`): the name, printed as a large bold title. - `author-position` (`left`), `personal-info-position` (`left`): alignment of name and contact line. - Contact fields, each shown only when not `""`, joined with `|`: `pronouns`, `phone`, `location`, `email` (mailto link), `github`, `linkedin`, `personal-site` (written without `https://`, the link adds it), `orcid` (the ID only). - `accent-color` (`"#000000"`): colour of headings and links, as a hex string. - `font` (`"New Computer Modern"`), `font-size` (`10pt`), `author-font-size` (`20pt`), `paper` (`"us-letter"`), `lang` (`"en"`). These values live in the header. Write the page body below it. ## Writing a page - The name and contact line come from the header. Do not write them again, and do not use `=` headings (level 1 is reserved for the name). - `==` is a section title (Education, Experience, Projects, Skills): small caps in the accent colour with a rule underneath. - Inside a section, write one helper call per entry (`edu`, `work`, `project`, ...) followed by a `-` bullet list of achievements. Nested bullets (indent two spaces) work. - For a skills section use bullets with a bold label: `- *Languages*: Python, Rust`. - Text is justified. Links are underlined in the accent colour. - Ligatures are off on purpose; build date ranges with `dates-helper` rather than typing dashes. - Escape special characters in text: `\$`, `\#`, `\@`. ## Helpers The header imports everything from the package. `dates-helper(start-date: "", end-date: "")`: a date range joined by an em dash. Use it for every `dates` argument. ```typ #dates-helper(start-date: "Jan 2022", end-date: "Present") ``` `edu(institution: "", dates: "", degree: "", gpa: "", location: "", consistent: false)`: an education entry. Bold institution with location on the right, then italic degree with italic dates on the right. `consistent: true` puts dates top right and location bottom right like `work`. `gpa` is accepted but not printed in this version; put a GPA in a bullet instead. ```typ == Education #edu( institution: "Example University", location: "Utrecht, Netherlands", dates: dates-helper(start-date: "Sep 2018", end-date: "Jul 2022"), degree: "BSc Computer Science", ) - GPA: 3.8/4.0, graduated cum laude ``` `work(title: "", dates: "", company: "", location: "")`: a job. Bold title with dates on the right, company with italic location below. ```typ == Experience #work( title: "Software Engineer", company: "Example Systems", location: "Amsterdam, Netherlands", dates: dates-helper(start-date: "Aug 2022", end-date: "Present"), ) - Cut build times by 40% by caching dependencies - Led a team of three on the reporting service ``` `project(role: "", name: "", url: "", dates: "")`: a project on one line. With `role` it reads "**Role**, Name". `url` is written without `https://`; it is shown in brackets after the name when `dates` is also given, otherwise on the right instead of dates. ```typ == Projects #project( name: "Scheduler", role: "Maintainer", url: "example.org", dates: dates-helper(start-date: "Nov 2023", end-date: "Present"), ) - Open-source scheduler used by 7000+ students ``` `certificates(name: "", issuer: "", url: "", date: "")`: "**Name**, Issuer" with an optional link (without `https://`) and the date on the right. ```typ == Certificates #certificates(name: "AWS Solutions Architect", issuer: "Amazon", date: "Oct 2024") ``` `extracurriculars(activity: "", dates: "")`: bold activity with dates on the right. ```typ == Activities #extracurriculars( activity: "Chess club captain", dates: dates-helper(start-date: "2020", end-date: "2022"), ) - Organised a regional tournament with 120 players ``` `generic-two-by-two(top-left: "", top-right: "", bottom-left: "", bottom-right: "")` and `generic-one-by-two(left: "", right: "")`: unformatted two-line or one-line rows with content pushed left and right. Use them only for an entry no other helper fits. ```typ #generic-one-by-two(left: [*Volunteer, Food Bank*], right: "2021") ``` ## Do not - Do not add `#set page`, `#set text`, `#set par` or font changes; size, font and margins come from the header. - Do not pick your own colours (`fill:`, `rgb(...)`, `text(fill: ...)`); headings and links already use the accent colour. - Do not build your own grids, tables, boxes or `#h(1fr)` rows for entries; use `edu`, `work`, `project`, `certificates`, `extracurriculars` or the generic helpers. - Do not remove or edit the template header between `// znote:template` and `// znote:end`. - Do not write the name or contact details in the body, and do not use `=` headings. - Do not add icons, images, columns or a photo; the layout is a single plain column for applicant tracking systems. - Keep it to one page unless the user asks for more.
