How to make your resume.json or resume-cli look great

2016-04-23

There are a ton of themes for resume-cli that are not immediately obvious to find

To see all the great themes on the command line, check out

    curl http://themes.jsonresume.org/themes.json |jq .

I tried a bunch of them

   4679  resume export site/resume/index.html -t modern-freeland
   4680  resume export site/resume/index.html -t modern-freelance
   4682  resume export site/resume/index.html -t modern-with-projects-section
   4683  resume export site/resume/index.html -t dangerflat
   4684  resume export site/resume/index.html -t striking
   4685  resume export site/resume/index.html -t crisp
   4686  resume export site/resume/index.html -t semantic-ui
   4687  resume export site/resume/index.html -t material
   4688  resume export site/resume/index.html -t modern-extended
   4689  resume export site/resume/index.html -t paper
   4690  resume export site/resume/index.html -t smart
   4691  resume export site/resume/index.html -t flat

Note: resume.json is setup to use HTML themes, so even though it has a PDF output option, it is inherently converting HTML first and then to PDF. The PDF conversion is done by a automated cloud service, which currently can fail sometimes. It is probably better to just choose HTML and convert to PDF if you need to.
