Résumés for R Markdown 👷‍♂️ 👷‍♀️

I've had my résumé as a R Markdown template for a few months now, and @robjhyndman has recently converted his CV too (https://github.com/robjhyndman/CV).

I think using R Markdown for CVs is a great match. This is especially true for listed elements (education, experience, accolades) which can be filled in from an external source (or perhaps filtered by tags).

Suggested features

My hopes and dreams for a Résumés package would include these features:

• A variety of templates (list of popular open source resumes templates)
• Functions to produce listed sections (education, experience, accolades)
• Functions/add-in(s) to maintain a résumé contents dataset
• Tagging system for entries, to support generation of tag-specific résumés
• Integration with other packages to fill with data from scholar, orcid, and other libraries/packages

Suggested templates

• Popular GitHub templates
• Overleaf templates
• LaTeX templates
• ARC/NHMRC templates
