This repository offers a collection of simple yet effective résumé templates built using basic LaTeX commands. The BASE ROVER template, for instance, requires only about 10 lines of code to set up a clean and minimal résumé format. Unlike other templates that rely on custom résumé classes — forcing you to learn new commands and options — these templates are designed to be straightforward and easy to use.

## Motivation

Creating a one-page résumé shouldn't require 500+ lines of code filled with custom commands that are difficult to modify or troubleshoot. Frustrated by the complexity and lack of simplicity in existing templates, I set out to design a clean and intuitive solution. This template is built with basic design principles in mind like *Hierarchy*, *Repetition*, and *Alignment* to ensure a professional and visually appealing result without unnecessary complexity.

The following code block serves as the foundational structure for each entry in your résumé.

```latex
\subsection{Designation, Duration}
\subsubsection{Company, Location}
\begin{itemize}
\item Bullet points
\item tailored to the
\item job description.
\end{itemize}
```

### Tips for Using LaTeX Commands
- **Sectioning**: Use `\section` for major sections like Education, Experience, Certifications, Awards, Skills & Interests, etc.
- **Subsectioning**: Employ `\subsection{}` and `\subsubsection` for primary and secondary titles such as Institution Name, Position Title, Duration, etc.
- **Bullet Points**: Use `itemize` lists for creating bullet points.

## Known Issue

Package hyperref Warning:

This occurs because `hyperref` package creates clickable texts for both internal and external links. When generating a PDF, certain elements like bookmarks, metadata, and hyperlinks are encoded as **PDF strings**. Since `\section{}`, `\subsection{}` etc. are used in the *Table of contents* (i.e. bookmarks), certain LaTeX commands (like `\hfill`) or control sequences doesn't make sense in this context.

When `hyperref` encounters the `\hfill` command while processing a piece of text that needs to be converted into a PDF string, it cannot include this command in the output PDF string. As a result, it removes the command and issues a warning to notify you of this action.

We can circumvents this issue by disabling the creation of bookmarks as shown below.

```latex
\usepackage[bookmarks=false]{hyperref}
```

> [!CAUTION]
> To avoid generating warnings, the `bookmarks` option in the `hyperref` package must be set during package loading with `\usepackage[bookmarks=false]{hyperref}`. You can use `\hypersetup{}` for everything else.
