I designed my first resume using Illustrator. Then I gave Sketch a shot. I even tried LaTeX. None of these fit the programmatic, and stylistic control I wanted to have over my resume. Using Pug (Jade) to build a template for my resume gave me finer control over layout and styling, as well as the ability to add conditionals.
I wrote this template for myself quite a while back. Feel free to use it however you see fit. If you do use it, all I ask is for you to shout at me on Twitter 🙌. If you have any questions, simply plop in an issue.
Here's my latest resume generated from this template.
To use this template, you'll need to have the Pug CLI and sass.
- Fork and clone the repo
cd resumepug -p resume.pug < resume.pug > resume.html
You may use pug -w . to watch for changes and render automatically.
sass --watch sass/resume.scss:stylesheets/resume.css
If I need to generate a PDF, I usually open the file in my browser, and print as PDF. Could use something like html-pdf or pug-pdf if you prefer a command line tool, but really haven't found myself needing that for now.
