#42Points for originality, but it does seem a little complicated. I did something like this about six months ago, but in HTML, CSS, and zsh. As a next step, try testing your output with a free ATS parser.
Any clue if Latex or html works better?

#43I've kept mine in a single file HTML with some CSS for years too. After toying with more complicated solutions, decided to stick with the KISS principle.

#44I think I’ll end up doing the same and then printing to a pdf like the article suggested. I previously used Google docs and got more frustrated than I get on even some of the hardest bugs I encounter.
Agreed - just redid mine in plain HTML+CSS yesterday after getting a bit annoyed with Google Docs. I am reminded how annoying margin collapse is but on the whole having more control is nice.

#45Going to plug Reactive Resume here, because it basically does this in an open source, self hostable, easy to use interface.

#46If I’m hiring a web developer and you give me a `resume.html` you’d best believe I’m viewing source on that. This is a high-risk high-reward game, because if it’s clean you’ll get bonus points, but if there’s unnecessary cruft (as defined by me) you’ll loose points. For example, while this is pretty clean code, I’m currently on my phone and getting horizontal scroll bars. For a text based site like this resume that s…

#47Over engineered. Just write it in pure HTML/CSS. It's a resume, you don't need anything more advanced.
that's what I did, but pandoc massacred my boy on the first pass, several passes later it was a bit better with just the right args. I got better results just using brave and adjusting the margins by hand for printing to pdf. I started with markdown but it was simply too limiting for anything that involved alignment (left, right, center) without html, and figure if I have to do that, just use html.

This is how my resume was (maybe still is, I haven’t looked I years).
One thing I did that I like was after the most recent jobs, the older and less relevant ones were faded a bit. A hover would make them dark and easier to read. When printing a PDF, only the darker more recent ones would print. This let me keep a full record in a single file (mostly for my own benefit), while still being able to quickly and easily print out a single page version.
