# Resume Builder
### [resume-builder.js.org](https://resume-builder.js.org/)
**Gotta find a job!** Creating a resume can be a hassle, especially when constantly updating or modifying templates. **Resume Builder** simplifies this process by allowing you to focus on adding new experiences in a raw format while the automation process handles the layout.
#### You take care of the data; we take care of the template.
> "Imagine you're an employer, and you have two resumes in front of you. One is filled wall-to-wall with text, using four different fonts and various bolded, italicized, and underlined words. The second resume offers the same information but is easily scannable due to good use of white space, clear section headings, and bullet points. Which resume would you prefer?"

## About
[Resume Builder](https://resume-builder.js.org) is a free, open-source project enabling users to easily maintain and create resumes using Google Spreadsheets. Originally developed to assist a friend with creating custom resumes, it now offers a streamlined solution for everyone. **[TRY IT NOW](https://resume-builder.js.org)**.
Older versions: [V1](https://github.com/blopa/Resume-Builder/blob/main/README_V1.MD), [V2](https://github.com/blopa/Resume-Builder/blob/main/README_V2.MD), [V3](https://github.com/blopa/Resume-Builder/blob/main/README_V3.MD).
## Features
- **Multiple Resume Templates** (coming soon)
- **Data Parsing**: Supports Google Spreadsheet URL, .xls files, or .json files.
- **JSON Resume Schema**: Compatible with [jsonresume/resume-schema](https://github.com/jsonresume/resume-schema/tree/v1.0.0).
- **Google Spreadsheet Conversion**: Converts data into the [jsonresume/resume-schema](https://github.com/jsonresume/resume-schema/tree/v1.0.0) format.
- **Customizable Themes**: Created with [material-ui-theme-editor](https://in-your-saas.github.io/material-ui-theme-editor/).
- **Cover Letter Editor**: Customize and create cover letters.
## JSON Resume Schema
This project extends the [jsonresume/resume-schema](https://github.com/jsonresume/resume-schema) v1.0.0 with additional fields:
- `__translation__`: For translating template keys.
- `coverLetter`: Add custom cover letter templates.
- `work[].keywords`: Include keywords in your work experience.
- `enableSourceDataDownload`: Allow downloading JSON data from the resume.
## Build Your Resume from Scratch
Don't have a JSON file or a spreadsheet? You can create a resume from scratch by filling out fields, then download it as JSON for later use.
## Online Viewer
Create a GitHub repository named `resume.json` with a file called `resume.json` in the `main` branch, adhering to the JSON schema. Your resume will be accessible via `https://resume-builder.js.org/view/TEMPLATE/GITHUB_USER`. For example: [https://resume-builder.js.org/view/default/blopa](https://resume-builder.js.org/view/default/blopa). You can also add `/lang` to the URL for translations, e.g., [https://resume-builder.js.org/view/default/blopa/es](https://resume-builder.js.org/view/default/blopa/es).
## Cover Letter Editor
Edit your cover letter using [mustache.js](https://github.com/janl/mustache.js/) bracket variables. For example, `This is a cover letter for {{company}}` allows you to dynamically replace "company" with another word.
## Available Translations
We currently offer translations for **English**, **Spanish**, and **Brazilian Portuguese**. Customize translations by adding a `__translations__` object to your `resume.json` file.
Example:
```json
{
"__translation__": {
"publications": "Projects",
"education": "Study"
}
}
```
Or, add them directly to your spreadsheet as columns labeled `__translation__`.
Want to add a new language? [Create a Pull Request](https://github.com/blopa/Resume-Builder/issues/18).
