Hi all,

I made this typst template originally to port my personal resume to typst from Latex. It tries to be a faithful port of the Awesome-CV latex template that I was previously using. Hope you find it useful.

This looks good.

A few unsolicited nit-picky suggestions;

  • I'm not a big fan of mixing colors in a single word. 'Taky' might the be the right to describe why. I do like the color blue you used - if you're going to do it, make it the whole word. The name should also be consitent. Bold and either black or blue, not black and blue.
  • The light blue and light gray body text is difficult to read. Colors should be solid black, or navy blue. Bright and 'fun' colors are heard to read for some. Assume they're colorblind or will print it on a B&W printer with poor contrast.
  • I like to lead with the job title instead of the company. Where you worked is largely irrevelvant compared to what you've done at those places. It also makes it easy to combine company, city and years in one line.
  • start with previous jobs (unless education was most recent or more relevant to new job). Typically the order is job > skills > education.
  • Avoid italics they can be unnecessarily diffuclt to read

Education does not need so many details (if relevant to job, include specific courses and projects). Grad date can be omitted to help obfuscate you're age (a grad from 2024 is probably inexpirenced, while a 1967 grad is going to be retiring soon).

Two lines is all you need;

B.S. Computer Science, minor electrical enginnering

Thanks for all the feedback! I'll take each point into consideration as I work on the next version of the template :)
