Resume Builder

Gotta find a job! Alright, let's make a new resume with this awesome template I found on Google, the problem is, this template might not be as awesome next month, or you might need to constantly add your new experience to the document. Gosh. Wouldn't be better to focus on adding new experiences in a raw format and let a atomization process handle the layout? I agreed, and that's why Resume Builder is here.

You take care of the data and we take care of the template.

"Imagine you're an employer, and you have two resumes in front of you. One is filled wall-to-wall with text and uses four different fonts. It's also peppered with dozens of bolded, italicized, and underlined words and phrases. The second resume also offers a lot of information, but you can quickly scan the document because it makes good use of white space, features clear and consistent section headings, and uses bullets to make important items stand out. Which resume would you look at first?"

About

Resume Builder is a free open-source project that allows anyone to easily maintain and build any kind of resume using Google Spreadsheets. This was develop as a personal project to help a friend who was struggling spending up to an hour to make a custom resumes. TRY IT NOW.

Features

Multiple Resume templates
Parse data from Google Spreadsheet or .xls file
21 different types of "data"

Usage

First of all you need to create a Google Spreadsheet following the same rules as this one (you can make a copy if you like) and populate with your resume information.

Full Name: Your full name
Job Title: Your resume Job Title
Summary: Summary of yourself
Website: Your website URL
Languages: Languages you speak
Email: Your email
Phone: Your phone number
Github: Your Github profile link
City: City where you're located
Country: Country where you're located
Skills: Your skills
Experience: Job Title for your experience
- Company: Company where you had this experience (must fill the data-for with the Experience ID)
- From: Date of when you started the experience (must fill the data-for with the Experience ID)
- To: Date of when you ended the experience (must fill the data-for with the Experience ID)
- Local: Where you had this experience (must fill the data-for with the Experience ID)
- Item: List here things you've done (must fill the data-for with the Experience ID)
Education: Name of the course you've studied
- From: Date of when you started the education (must fill the data-for with the Education ID)
- To: Date of when you ended the education (must fill the data-for with the Education ID)
- Local: Where did you studied (must fill the data-for with the Education ID)
- Item: List here things you've done (must fill the data-for with the Education ID)
Side Project: Name of your Side Project
- Description: Description of your Side Project (must fill the data-for with the Side Project ID)
- Url: URL of your Side Project (must fill the data-for with the Side Project ID)

So whenever you want a part of the resume to be an sub-item of another item, you should use the data-for field. Use your creativity.

Libraries

For the react.js version of this project I'm using react.js, js-xlsx and Bootstrap.
Honorable mentions: babel, webpack, IntelliJ IDEA and Squarespace.

So a big thanks to all the developers that worked really hard on these libs and make our day easier :D and also a big thanks to cdnjs.com for hosting those libs for us.

Deployment

Run npm run build then copy the dist/ folder into your website root directory. Done.
