Resume Builder

A simple customizable resume builder with modular sections and translations made using Node.js and Bootstrap.

An example of resume

Resume sections

• Personal information
• Excerpt
• Skills
• Jobs
• Education
• Organizations
• Languages
• Other

Customization

• Colors and fonts: As this project uses bootstrap, customizing its colors is easy. Just edit the variables located at public/css/styles.css
• Sections
  • Adding: To add a new section, create a new file duplicating template.ejs located at views/resume, and then add an include for it into views/pages/resume.ejs main tag.
  • Removing: To remove a section, delete the respective include from views/pages/resume main tag, and delete the corresponding file from views/resume folder.
  • Changing display order: To change the sections display order, just change the order of the includes at views/pages/resume.ejs main tag.

Check out the ejs files in the views/resume folder to see how it works! (Check out the functions file too).

• Adding text into a section or adding translations
  • After creating a section, you must add a JSON section into one of the files located at the languages folder for retrieving its data in an ejs template.
  • By adding a new JSON at the languages folder a new language will be displayed at localhost:3000. After choosing or making resume sections, you can duplicate the first filled JSON file and replace it with different strings for the target language.

Check out the JSON files into the languages folder to see how it works!
