My CV built using R Markdown and the vitae package.

CV

This repo contains my CV and the code used to build it.

A Little Background

I used to rely on online tools to build my CV but was never happy about how much they cost. Recently, I came across the vitae package by Mitchell O'Hara-Wild and decided to give it a try. It's been a fun experience and most importantly you get a fancy-looking CV for free. I share my code here as an example in case anyone is interested in making their own.

Feel free to clone the files and edit them to make your own!

Main Files

• CV.pdf: The final product.
• CV.rmd: The R Markdown file used to create the PDF.
• awesome-cv.cls:This LaTeX template is in charge of the overall style of your CV. vitae supports several templates and I liked this one the most. I made small tweaks on the personal info section (font size, color, & spacing) based on the original template. If you prefer the original, delete this file.
• apa-cv.csl: APA 7th style from the Zotero Style Repository. This file defines your citation style. In my field (Psychology), APA style is the standard. Change it to other citation styles if needed.
• .bib files: I have 3 .bib files that separately store info for publisheded papers, in prep manuscripts, and conference presentations. You can create those .bib files from your reference manager (e.g., Zotero) or from scratch. It's important that you create separate .bib files for separate sections of your CV.

Make sure to install vitae and tinytex if you haven't done so:

install.packages("tinytex")
tinytex::install_tinytex()

install.packages("vitae")

Happy vitae-ing and wish everyone good luck on the job market!

cv's Issues

Bold names in bibliography

In the final CV output the name "Zhang" is bolded within the bibliography sections, however I'm unable to replicate this functionality when using the provided files. It seems like the name is formatted within the .bib files to be bolded using {\bf Zhang} - are there any additional files or settings within the RMarkdown document needed to enable this functionality?

How to make the name in bold？

Hello Han, thank you so much for sharing your CV. It looks amazing!

I was wondering, in the sections such as "Peer-reviewed Publications", "Book Chapters", "Work in Progress", and "Selected Presentations", how to make our own name in bold?

Your kind guidance is much appreciated!

sorting wrong when dates include month

first off, thank you so much for adapting this great package to APA. I've been working with your code and I can't seem to get the conference proceedings in descending order when month is included (I need to report month for conference proceedings). For example when I add month to your first two proceedings like this:
`@inproceedings{zhang_scan-paths_2020,
location = {Chicago, {IL}, {USA}},
title = {Scan-paths of Mind-wandering during Real-world Scene Perception},
eventtitle = {Talk to be presented at the 92nd Annual Meeting of the Midwestern Psychological Association},
author = {{\bf Zhang}, Han and Anderson, Nicola C. and Miller, Kevin F.},
date = {2020-01},
pubstate = {{\bf Graduate Student Research Award}}
}

@inproceedings{zhang_reduced_2019,
location = {Montreal, Canada},
title = {Reduced Re-reading of Garden-path Jokes during Mindless Reading},
eventtitle = {Poster presented at the 60th Psychonomic Society Annual Meeting},
author = {{\bf Zhang}, Han and Qu, Chuyan and Miller, Kevin F. and Cortina, Kai S.},
date = {2019-09}
}`
and knit your CV...you will first note that those two items will now drop to the bottom (I presume that is because of the numeric coding of date when some include month and some do not). But also that the September 2019 presentation is above the January 2020 presentation. They seem to be descending by month first, then year. any idea why? This may be a bug in apa-cv.csl, but I thought I'd check with you first before posting there. thanks!
