# Awesome CV in R

This CV was made using the

[`vitae`](https://pkg.mitchelloharawild.com/vitae/) package in R, and

using the template from [Dominique

Makowski](https://github.com/DominiqueMakowski/CV) (which includes the

code for the Google Scholar figure and table, and a lot more). Please

give them due credit if using this template. I also brought some minor

optimization and documentation to the current template.

## Instructions

1.  First, you will need to clone/download this entire repository and

    all it’s files to your computer so you can run the code in R.

2.  The main file to edit is `cv.Rmd`. Use it to add your name, contact

    information, and description. Change the template colour using the

    `headcolor` parameter (in the YAML header). Also replace the photo

    in the `img` folder.

3.  Make sure to install all required packages (LaTeX is required as

    well).

4.  Specify your Google Scholar profile number and name if using this

    feature.

5.  Change the order of sections by changing the order of code chunks.

6.  Edit the individual `.Rmd` files in the `sections` subfolder to edit

    your sections’ content as desired (e.g., `publications.Rmd`).

7.  To output the CV to PDF, simply knit `cv.Rmd` (shortcut is

    `Ctrl+Shift+K`)

## Tips

-   Request a short version by setting `short` to `TRUE` in `cv.Rmd`.

-   Add `eval = !short` to code chunk options to make them optional for

    the short version.

-   If you are using a word processor as well as RStudio, one tip to

    save time is to change the relevant content section (e.g.,

    `publications.Rmd`) View from `Source` to `Visual` (top left in

    RStudio) before copy-pasting your publications and other formatted

    content. This way, all the existing formatting (bold, italic, etc.)

    will be kept and you won’t have to manually recreate all the

    formatting.

-   It is also possible to import data from other sources automatically

    (ORCID, Google Scholar, etc.), but I have not personally

    experimented with this yet. More info can be found

    [here](https://pkg.mitchelloharawild.com/vitae/articles/data.html).

## Notes

-   This template uses the North-American `8.5in x 11in` (letter) size

    instead of the original European `8.27 x 11.69` (A4) size.

-   Special characters (e.g., `$`, `&`, `%`) need to be escaped with a

    backslash or a double backslash.

-   The template uses some LaTeX language at times for specific

    customization (commands starting with backslashes `\`). Some useful

    commands include:

    -   `\pagebreak` to create a page break between sections

    -   `\scriptsize` to make text smaller (typically for publications

        sections)

    -   `\normalsize` to make text normal (for regular sections)

    -   `\\textit{yourtext}` to italicize `yourtext` (within dataframes,

        outside of regular rmarkdown)

    -   `\\hspace{0.5cm}` to create some left space (e.g., between

        columns in tables)

    -   `\\dotfill` to create dotted lines (e.g., for the award section)

    -   `\setlength{\parindent}{-0.2in}` and

        `\setlength{\leftskip}{0.2in}` to indent publications, “hanging”

        style.

    here.
