🎯 Core Concepts

YAML-Based Content

Your resume content lives in a clean, human-readable YAML file:

information:
  name: "Jane Doe"
  email: "jane@example.com"
  phone: "123-456-7890"

experience:
  - company: "Tech Corp"
    title: "Senior Developer"
    start_date: "2020-01-01"
    end_date: "Present"
    description:
      - "Led development of core platform features"
      - "Mentored junior developers"

Section Ordering

Customize your resume's section order using simple letter codes:

• e - Education
• x - Experience
• s - Skills
• p - Projects
• c - Certifications
• t - Custom
• m - Summary

Example: -o xsep renders Experience → Skills → Education → Projects
