Plain Resume

This is a Jekyll theme for creating a simple and customizable resume. This could be used to digitally present your resume online and have it be accessible to anyone who is interested in it.

How to Install the Theme

1. Clone the repository.
2. Run bundle exec jekyll serve.
3. If it compiles successfully, you can now see your resume.

Adding Data to the Resume

The resume loads data from the _data files. In this folder, you will find .yml files. This is where you will be adding entries to display on your resume.

All entries for each section begin with a -. Each line then follows a key:value format. Please see the existing .yml files for examples.

Section Layouts

Section layouts can be found in the _includes folder. Unless you know what you are doing, you usually do not want to modify these files.

Typically, a section layout will look something like this.

<div class="resume-content">

    {% if site.data.awards.size > 0 %}
    
    <h2>Awards</h2>
    <hr>
    
    {% for award in site.data.awards %}
    <div class="entry">
        <h4 class="title">{{ award.title }}</h4>
        <h4 class="date">{{ award.time }}</h4>
        <ul>
            <li>{{ award.description }}</li>
        </ul>
    </div>
    
    {% endfor %}
    
    {% endif %}
    
</div>
