# YAML Metadata Template
|
||||
|
||||
Copy this template into the top of every customized resume and cover letter markdown file.
|
||||
|
||||
## Standard Template
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
---
|
||||
name: Paul Halvorsen
|
||||
keywords: backend engineer, api design, python, [ADD ROLE-SPECIFIC KEYWORDS]
|
||||
left-column:
|
||||
- "Email: paul.halvorsen@pm.me"
|
||||
- "Phone: +1-410-236-4665"
|
||||

|
||||
- "GitHub: github.com/malwhile"
|
||||

||||

|
||||

|
||||
urlcolor: blue
|
||||
linkcolor: magenta
|
||||
numbersections: false
|
||||
---
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Important Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Quoted Strings (CRITICAL)
|
||||
- **All contact info must be quoted** to avoid YAML parsing issues
|
||||
- Format: `"Label: value"`
|
||||
- ✓ Correct: `- "Email: paul.halvorsen@pm.me"`
|
||||
- ❌ Wrong: `- Email: paul.halvorsen@pm.me`
|
||||
|
||||
### Keywords
|
||||
- Add role-specific keywords to improve ATS matching
|
||||
- Examples:
|
||||
- Backend role: `backend engineer, python, api design, rest api, distributed systems, kubernetes`
|
||||
- Full-stack role: `full-stack engineer, python, react, javascript, frontend, backend`
|
||||
- Security role: `security engineer, python, cryptography, authentication, oauth`
|
||||
- Aim for 8-12 keywords
|
||||
|
||||
### Contact Info Guidelines
|
||||
- Email: Always include (paul.halvorsen@pm.me)
|
||||
- Phone: Always include (+1-410-236-4665)
|
||||
- GitHub: Always include (github.com/malwhile)
|
||||
- LinkedIn: Always include (linkedin.com/in/paul-halvorsen)
|
||||
- Blog: Optional but recommended (flow.halvo.me)
|
||||
- DO NOT include: "Citizen of the United States", generic titles like "Remote"
|
||||
|
||||
### Font & Color Options
|
||||
These are sensible defaults. Rarely need to change:
|
||||
- `fontsize: 10pt` — standard resume font size
|
||||
- `fontenc: T1` — font encoding for special characters
|
||||
- `urlcolor: blue` — hyperlink color
|
||||
- `linkcolor: magenta` — cross-reference link color
|
||||
- `numbersections: false` — don't number resume sections
|
||||
|
||||
### Optional: Add Name Color
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
name-color: DarkSlateGray
|
||||
```
|
||||
SVG color names work: `DarkSlateGray`, `Tomato`, `DodgerBlue`, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
### Optional: Add Section Header Color
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
section-color: Tomato
|
||||
```

||||

## Validation Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
Before using the template:
|
||||
- [ ] All contact info is quoted with "Label: value" format
|
||||
- [ ] Keywords are comma-separated
|
||||
- [ ] Email is paul.halvorsen@pm.me
|
||||
- [ ] Phone is +1-410-236-4665
|
||||
- [ ] GitHub is github.com/malwhile
|
||||
- [ ] LinkedIn is linkedin.com/in/paul-halvorsen (no https://)
|
||||
- [ ] Blog is flow.halvo.me (if including)
|
||||
- [ ] No "Citizen of the United States" in right-column
|
||||
- [ ] No generic "Remote" keyword unless job-specific
|
||||
- [ ] fontsize, fontenc, urlcolor, linkcolor match defaults
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Date Formatting
|
||||
|
||||
Use the `\resumedate{}` macro for smaller dates under section headers:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
### Software Engineer | Abnormal AI
|
||||
\resumedate{**January 2026 – Present**}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This makes dates visually distinct from section headers while keeping them readable.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## After YAML Metadata
|
||||
|
||||
Start your resume or cover letter content immediately after the closing `---`:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
---
|
||||
name: Paul Halvorsen
|
||||
...
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
