I am trying to make a HTML page with PDF export from a pubkey's resume structured inside of a Nostr event. Something basic most people can just get started with.
The best I could find was this below, but I think colors and typography are off for an average clean design. Any chance you can take a look?
This seems like a good start:

Code here: https://github.com/nuterian/resume
Looks clean and scannable. Maybe change red to blue 😂
Fonts look fine to me.
I’m not the best judge of resumes tbh. When I am required to submit mine, I just type it up in default font (Arial) without much styling. I never design a resume because I noticed I don’t care for designs when I look at them.
Not even Comic Sans??? 🤣
I got so many CVs in Comic Sans in my lifetime...
lol wtf
I don’t see any comic sans in that one though. Or am I seeing different fonts on Mac? I see source sans pro and merriweather - both excellent font choices.
oh yeah, not that one. That one is better :)
That’s actually quite surprising.
Yeah, issue is that people (devs...) try to be fancy and choose Comic Sans as a font.
I think that if can we fix typography and just allow them to insert their info and no other "fancy" thing like pictures and graphics, then they might have a better chance.
You say I shouldn't write my CV in wingdings? 😨
Experience above education.
Like the education section use a larger, bolder font size for job title and place of work.
Change font to a cleaner one (verdana, arial, etc)
Honors? Perhaps use a different term to suit international candidates, such as Awards / Achievements.
> Experience above education
Only after 2+ years out of college. If you are young, education is more important.
Exactly. If you’ve ever had to sift through CVs you know what is important and catches your eye. The rest can be established at interview or general conversation over coffee. (Those are the best interviews). I like to see easy to read, minimal waffle, bulleted points, and mainly focus on job titles and where they’ve worked before, alongside skillset. Of course, differs per job role and who is hiring (and their selection methods, I.e. cover letter, application form, written tests, presentations, references etc etc).
