Why it’s made?
I couldn’t find any formal or professional résumé (CV) website with good typography that is optimized for the Web, print, PDF, and mobile. Also, when researching what recruiters want, my priorities were fast scanning time and all content to fit on one page.
Navigate to the base directory:
cd universal-resume
Install the dependencies:
npm install
Start the development server:
npm run serve
Only generate CSS that is used on the page, which results in a much smaller file size:
npm run build
docs/index.html is the main content file. By copying HTML: add pages, sections, subsections, and other parts.
npm run build will make the docs directory ready for drag-n-drop to, for example, https://app.netlify.com/drop (free registration required beforehand).
Also, with additionally running git add docs/styles.css -f and committing changes, it’s ready for push to GitHub and integration with GitHub Pages. GitHub Pages are free for public repositories. Under your repository name, not profile, click “Settings” and enable GitHub Pages by navigating to: Options → GitHub Pages → Source → /docs.
Tailwind CSS is a highly customizable, low-level CSS framework that gives you all of the building blocks you need to build bespoke designs without any annoying opinionated styles you have to fight to override. It has great documentation.
Code from tailwind.config.js and tailwind.css transpiles to docs/style.css.
Here is the default tailwind config: defaultConfig.stub.js, and here’s the additional information from the Tailwind documentation: theme.
If you want to change CSS in a classical way, add a class to the HTML element and write the CSS inside tailwind.css.
Removing col-fill-auto class will make both columns equally tall. Moreover, removing md:h-letter and md:h-letter-col classes will eliminate fixed proportions of the letter or A4 page — thereby removing unnecessary vertical space when displaying short columns.
Change the default (letter) size to A4:
1. Inside docs/index.html, replace every -letter with -a4.
2. Inside tailwind.config.js, uncomment code block below /* For A4 size */ and then comment code block below /* For Letter size */
3. Inside tailwind.css, comment code below /* For Letter size */ and uncomment code below /* For A4 size */
Important: Too much content on one page will break the page in the form of additional columns.
Right-click → Print.
Also, choose the Save as PDF option if needed.
By expanding More Settings, change Page Size to A4 or Letter.
File → Print.
Choose A4 or Letter size by navigating to Properties → Advanced → Paper Size.
File → Print.
By clicking on the Page Setup button, you are taken to the window with A4 and Letter options.
Disable search engine indexing by adding the following code to the <head>:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex">With FiraGO typeface, this résumé supports the following scrips: Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Vietnamese, Arabic, Thai, Georgian, Devanagari, and Hebrew.
If you want to significantly speed up font loading time, find out what fonts you are using (under the developer tools network panel) and add them to the head like so:
