A modern resume template written in Typst, inspired by Awesome-CV

devpaul@lemmy.world to Open Source@lemmy.ml – 330 points –

Hi all,

I made this typst template originally to port my personal resume to typst from Latex. It tries to be a faithful port of the Awesome-CV latex template that I was previously using. Hope you find it useful.

Experience should be listed first. Education last.

You just don't appreciate how prestigious it is to get a degree from Example U.

Uh, my dad had to donate a gazebo to example u so I could get in, and I was a legacy candidate!

Thanks for the feedback! I think this makes sense for those who do have work experience. Do you think this should still be the case for new graduates?

Also I should note you can easily change the order of things in your own CV.

Idk if this common around the world but in Germany it's because you sort from present to past.

Yes. Your education is a 5 second skim through, I would not put it at the center page. If you believe you have zero relevant experience, then omit that panel and let’s make the main focus your projects.
