# Data-driven CV & resume

My personal CV and resume files, automatically generated from a multi-lingual
yaml data file.

The CV contains a full run-down of my educational and job experience to date,
while the resume is more compact, reduced to a single page
and can be tailored for a specific job area or expertise.

Is called like the following:

```typst
#resume(
    yaml("content.yml"),
    main: ("experience", "education", "volunteering", "skills", "languages"),
    sidebar: ("volunteering", "skills")
)
```

This is the default invocation, though sidebar and main body sections can be exchanged at will.
The following sections currently exist:

- education
- experience, subdivided in "experience", "experience_by_client" and "experience_by_type"
- languages
- skills
- summary
- volunteering

Sections in the main body or sidebar can be reordered at will.

Any individual entry can be hidden by adding a simple `hidden: true` to the relevant YAML entry
(works for all sections).

A simple example education entry:

```yaml
education:
  - place:
      de: Universität der Welt, Planet Erde
      en: University of the World, Planet Earth
    title:
      de: Globale Friedensstiftung, MA
      en: Global Peace Foundations, MA
    date:
      de: 2016
      en: 2016
    hidden: false
```

## Advanced experience presentation settings

The experience section has 3 forms:

Purely chronological ("experience"), which is the default;
separated by client worked for ("experience_by_client");
separated by the type of work undertaken, then further separated by client worked for ("experience_by_client").

These options are intended especially for self-employed / entrepreneurial CVs.
They let you subdivide your work experience whichever way works best,
and additionally divide work undertaken for your own employ or salaried positions for example.

## Data-driven uses

Since the CV _data_ is separated from the CV _presentation_, it is possible to create different
presentations for the same underlying data structures.

One fun example is my self-presentation as a Linux [manual page](https://martyoeh.me/blog/2025-05-11-manpage-resume).
Other, more reasonable, uses are encouraged, such as presentation embedded within an HTML page,
different print and screen-reading documents,
or short calling cards.
