- `strayer_cv.pdf`: The final exported pdf as rendered by Chrome on my mac laptop. Links are put in footer and notes about online version are added.
- `resume.Rmd`: Source template for single page resume.
- `parsing_functions.R`: A series of small functions for parsing a position entry into the proper HTML format. Includes logic for removing links if needed etc..
- `common_variables.R`: Holds small variables that don't make sense for the CSV format such as the intro text and the language skill bars.
- `strayer_resume.pdf`: Result for single page resume.
- `positions.csv`: A csv with columns encoding the various fields needed for a position entry in the CV. A column `section` is also available so different sections know which rows to use.
- `css/`: Directory containing the custom CSS files used to tweak the default 'resume' format from pagedown.

## Want to use this to build your own CV/resume?

1. Fork, clone, download the zip of this repo to your machine with RStudio.
2. Update the intro text and language skills found in `common_variables.R`.
2. Go through and personalize the supplementary text in the Rmd you desire (`index.Rmd` for CV, `resume.Rmd` for resume).
3. Using your spreadsheet editor of choice, replace the rows of `positions.csv` with your positions.
3. Print each unique `section` (as encoded in the `section` column of `positions.csv`) in your `.Rmd` with the command `position_data %>% print_section('education')`.
