adapting to 2 pages?

Open csaund opened this issue 7 years ago • 10 comments

Right now without any special formatting, any overflow onto a second page is poorly formatted. A version of this which allows experience to take up the full column on the first page and awards, leadership, etc to fully occupy the second would keep the clean style and continue to emphasize work experience.

Have you thought about adapting this to look good on 2 pages?

Hi @csaund, you can create any pages you want like this (just keep the same textwidth for the correspondent column)

\begin{document}

% PAGE ONE

\begin{minipage}[t]{0.38\textwidth}
% COLUMN ONE SECTIONS
\end{minipage}

\begin{minipage}[t]{0.61\textwidth}
% COLUMN TWO SECTIONS
\end{minipage}

\newpage

% PAGE TWO

\begin{minipage}[t]{0.38\textwidth}
% COLUMN ONE SECTIONS
\end{minipage}

\begin{minipage}[t]{0.61\textwidth}
% COLUMN TWO SECTIONS
\end{minipage}

% PAGE N ...

\end{document}

The above-mentioned way and adding \hfill between mini pages makes the deedy resume work with 2 pages perfectly

I would also like to suggest the paracol package with which the splitting is much more easy to do without having to adjust the minipages each time you modify the CV. The document would look something like:

\begin{document}

\columnratio{0.44}
\begin{paracol}{2}
% LATERAL CONTENT
\switchcolumn
% CENTRAL CONTENT
\end{paracol}

\hill is necessary after every minipage.

Have you had a look at the following discussion, for an automatic page break? tcolorbox worked fine for me. How to make minipage spanning multiple pages

I successfully used the paracol package to extend the template to multiple pages. The bonus with it is that you can also seamlessy align text on the two columns using \switchcolumn*.

Minimal Example:

\columnratio{0.38}
\begin{paracol}{2}
\setlength{\columnsep}{8mm}
%% FIRST COLUMN
\switchcolumn
%% SECOND COLUMN
\end{paracol}

After implementing paracol, I'm experiencing spacing issues in the first column with long titles (see image). Screenshot 2024-07-07 at 21 12 17

How can I fix the unwanted spaces between words in "First Second Third" while maintaining the paracol structure?
