resumer: Resume tailor

In case you have diverse work experience you would like to highlight specific job records and to hide others. resumer is a set of R scripts and markdown template. You keep your work experience records in YAML file. Each record is labelled with tags and values. For example, you could mark a record with tag research and value one. When you build a tailored resume you specify what tags are relevant to new position. The position is linked with research, so you limit your resume with experience relevant to research. All records labelled with research tag will be added to the resume. The value of a tag how job achievements will be sorted.

Experience records file

Each record consists of position title, name of organization, period of work, description of job and one or more results. Each result has to be labelled at least by one tag. Value of each tag is relative: the bigger the tag value, the higher in final resume it will be posted.

The resume tailoring algorithm

A user keeps all job records in a yaml file. Also he/she has head.md and tail.md files to be added to the resume. When the user wants to generate a new resume he/she specifies tags of interest. Then script does the following:

1. Filters all positions where at least one of tags of interest presented.
2. For each position keeps only results records with tags of interest.
3. For each result calculates total value of tags and sort them accordingly.
4. For each position calculates total value of tags and sort them (with respect to passed years also).
5. From selected positions and results generates Markdown file jobs.md.
6. Converts these three Markdown files to a single PDF with help of Pandoc and LaTeX.

2. Edit 'head.mdandtail.mdinsource` directory.
