casual-markdown-cv

casual-markdown-cv is a minimal way to create markdown resume and available online (github-page or other static web hosting)

It is quite annoying to maintain resume in multiple format, MS Word, PDF, TXT as well as wanna to have an HTML format available online.

Github markdown editor is very handy to draft a nice resume. Here is a sample template: resume.md.

just add a little code to transform into online resume with nice look (hosted at github).

then may print it to PDF file to send to recruiter, or share by url. (for github, it can accessed by raw.githack.com naturally)

ps: recommended to ask ChatGPT for a refinement before published your resume. AI will refine both content and layout in markdown format.

Themes

The following themes are available now
