# Minimalistic résumé template: product manager role



## Live demo: https://resume.rimutaka.me



## Résumé contents



This résumé is based on my real skills and experience. Everything you read in there is true. 



Follow the commits to track the tweaks and changes.



### Reusing as a template



Anyone is welcome to re-use this résumé as a template for their own.



The best way to modify the contents is to fork this repo and go through the source code of `index.html` line by line to edit as you see fit.



The **layout and styles** are based on [Bootstrap v.4](https://getbootstrap.com/). I merged their blog and gallery examples with some of my own ideas.



I used some **commercial icons** from [FontAwesome Pro](https://fontawesome.com/). They require a paid subscription. You can opt out by using their free styles and designs. I find the Pro version more elegant and well worth the money.



### Print or PDF versions



Google Chrome prints a better version than FireFox, but neither is good enough when printed or saved as PDF.

Append `?prn` to the URL to produce a simplified, single page version with a link to the full version on GitHub. E.g. https://resume.rimutaka.me/?prn.

## Thinking behind the format



A product manager is a very varied role. You are not really an inventor, but you are creating something completely new at the same time. So I approached this résumé project as *just another product*. I defined my preferred *type of customer*, looked around for good ideas and put some of them into a form that hopefully appeals to the target audience.



* **Customer:** a CEO or a founder of a small to mid-size business working on a new product. They have resources, but not too much to still need someone agile and scrappy.

* **Minimal layout:** that's just my style - I like to keep things simple and focus on the contents.

* **Show, don't tell:** avoid superlatives and self-assessments. Let the readers decide for themselves.

* **Flow:** 

  * Who I am

  * What I am

  * What I can do for you

  * What I made for others

  * Skills I learned

  * Social proof (what others say about me)

  * What makes me tick

  * My growth path, what I learned

  * Misc

  * Sharing with the community



I intentionally **omitted some skills and traits** from the document. They should be evident by looking at this project as a whole. If they are not, then they shouldn't be included anyway. *E.g. do I know anything about marketing or do I have attention to detail?*



The absence of **education section** is due to my lack of formal education. There is some room in the sidebar to insert yours.



The **printing template** is intentionally stripped down from most of the content and links directly to GitHub:

* this is a living document, which a PDF file is not

* my target audience doesn't need explaining what GitHub is

* they can always print the full version if they need to



So the printing template is a document you submit to some online HR system because it only takes a PDF or MS Word file. If what they see in there is not enough to make them reach for the online version it's probably a lost cause anyway. I may be completely wrong here.
