Overall it was pretty nice honestly. Especially coming from Latex. Creating a template in Latex was very difficult but in typst it's way more intuitive (at least to me) and it's easy to control every aspect of the text and its layout.

Oh really? I couldn't find a port of this before. Do you happen to have a link?

Whoops! I ommited that on purpose. But you can add the job title back in. And yes I see how that would be good for each sub section to have the company name.

This should be doable, I'll update this thread if I can implement it.

I put this together in a few minutes using my template. Does this address what you meant?

Here's the typst code:

#import "@preview/modern-cv:0.1.0": *

#show: resume.with(
  author: (
      firstname: "Person", 
      lastname: "Lastname",
      email: "[email protected]", 
      phone: "111-111-1111",
      github: "DeveloperPaul123",
      linkedin: "LinkedIn Name",
      address: "111 Road Dr. City, Place 111111",
      positions: (
        "Software Engineer",
        "Software Architect"
      )
  ),
  date: datetime.today().display()
)

= Experience

#resume-entry(
  title: "Company, Inc.",
  location: "Place, Earth",
  date: "2022 - 2023"
)

#secondary-justified-header(
  "Developer",
  "June 2023 to August 2023"
)

#resume-item[
  - #lorem(10)
  - #lorem(11)
]

#secondary-justified-header(
  "Analyst",
  "March 2021 - May 2022"
)

#resume-item[
  - #lorem(10)
  - #lorem(11)
]

This is interesting as I simply copied the same styling as the previous template I was using. Would it be better to highlight the entire first word instead of the first n letters?

I added it to the original post, sorry about that!

Sorry, I added the link in the post now. It's also available on typst universe.

It's in the description now, sorry about that!

Thanks!

I added the link now and yes, I really hope typst takes off as well. I've been using it pretty extensively where I can at work and my personal life and it's so much easier than Latex. I haven't done anything too complicated yet so we'll see how it goes.

Also I added the missing link 😅

Thanks for the feedback! I think this makes sense for those who do have work experience. Do you think this should still be the case for new graduates?

Also I should note you can easily change the order of things in your own CV.

That's a fair point, thanks!

Are you saying it's not worth becoming a freelancer if you don't already have connections ?
