Using as a template

Use the green "Use this template" button to create a new repository with this repository's files as a template. There are two files only:

• resume.cls: Defines the structure and all the custom commands. No need to modify this.
• resume.tex: This is the file where all your content for the resume goes. Your name, email, links, etc. are defined through commands. Feel free to move things around and change them.

If there is any problem with the format, feel free to open an issue in this repo. It will probably involve a fix in the resume.cls file. Once that gets pushed, you can just copy the new resume.cls file over your existing one.

Included Commands/Environments

\fmtdate - Command

Create new date and displays it according to {shortmonthname}. {year} format

% Default day is 01
\fmtdate{3}{2017}

\fmtdate[1]{3}{2017}
% Mar. 2017

% Only print year by providing empty month
\fmtdate{}{2017}
% 2017

\draft (renamed from \showif) - Command

Instead of commenting out blocks skip content conditionally so that atleast it is checked by latex to be valid.

% Default output is hidden
\draft{Test Content}
%

% Show in output, preferably remove command once you've decided to keep the content
\draft[true]{Test Content}
% Test Content

Also works for blocks of content:

\draft[false]{
\begin{rSection}{Activities} \itemsep -2pt
    \item XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    \item YYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
    \item ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
\end{rSection}
