Start single column version

If you want to use the single column version, pick the starter that matches how much customization you need.

Option 1 – Quick template (fixed order)

Use this when you are happy with the default section sequence.

#import "@preview/modernpro-cv:1.3.0": *
#import "@preview/fontawesome:0.6.0": *

#show: cv-single.with(
  font-type: "PT Serif",
  continue-header: "false",
  margin: (left: 1.75cm, right: 1.75cm, top: 2cm, bottom: 2cm),
  name: [],
  address: [],
  lastupdated: "true",
  pagecount: "true",
  date: "2024-07-03",
  contacts: (
    (text: [#fa-icon("location-dot") UK]),
    (text: [#fa-icon("mobile") 123-456-789], link: "tel:123-456-789"),
    (text: [#fa-icon("link") example.com], link: "https://www.example.com"),
  )
)

#section("About")
#descript[#lorem(40)]
#sectionsep

#section("Experience")
#job(
  position: "Software Engineer",
  institution: [#lorem(3)],
  location: "UK",
  date: "2022-now",
)
#sectionsep

#section("Education")
#education(
  institution: [University of Typst],
  major: [Computer Science],
  date: "2015-2019",
  location: "UK",
)

Option 2 – Flexible template (custom order or hidden sections)

Choose this when you want to reorder, remove, or conditionally render sections without editing them in multiple places.

#import "@preview/modernpro-cv:1.3.0": *
#import "@preview/fontawesome:0.6.0": *

#show: cv-single.with(
  font-type: "PT Serif",
  continue-header: "false",
  margin: (left: 1.75cm, right: 1.75cm, top: 2cm, bottom: 2cm),
  name: [],
  address: [],
  lastupdated: "true",
  pagecount: "true",
  date: "2024-07-03",
  contacts: (
    (text: [#fa-icon("location-dot") UK]),
    (text: [#fa-icon("mobile") 123-456-789], link: "tel:123-456-789"),
    (text: [#fa-icon("link") example.com], link: "https://www.example.com"),
  )
)

#let sections = (
  section-block("about", title: "About")[
    #descript[#lorem(40)]
  ],
  section-block("experience", title: "Experience")[
    #job(
      position: "Software Engineer",
      institution: [#lorem(3)],
      location: "UK",
      date: "2022-now",
    )
  ],
  section-block("education", title: "Education")[
    #education(
      institution: [University of Typst],
      major: [Computer Science],
      date: "2015-2019",
      location: "UK",
    )
  ],
)

#let section-order = ("about", "experience", "education")

#render-sections(sections: sections, order: section-order)

Define each section once with section-block, then control the sequence by reordering section-order. Any sections not mentioned in section-order are rendered afterward by default (set include-remaining: false to skip them).

Start double column version

The double column version is similar to the single column version. Pick the pattern you prefer for each column.

Option 1 – Quick template (fixed order in each column)

#import "@preview/modernpro-cv:1.3.0": *
#import "@preview/fontawesome:0.6.0": *

#show: cv-double(
  font-type: "PT Sans",
  continue-header: "true",
  margin: (left: 1.5cm, right: 1.5cm, top: 2.2cm, bottom: 1.8cm),
  name: [#lorem(2)],
  address: [#lorem(4)],
  lastupdated: "true",
  pagecount: "true",
  date: "2024-07-03",
  contacts: (
    (text: [#fa-icon("location-dot") UK]),
    (text: [#fa-icon("mobile") 123-456-789], link: "tel:123-456-789"),
    (text: [#fa-icon("link") example.com], link: "https://www.example.com"),
  ),
  left: [
    #section("Profile")
    #descript[#lorem(30)]
    #sectionsep

    #section("Skills")
    #oneline-title-item(title: "Languages", content: [Python, Typst])
    #sectionsep
  ],
  right: [
    #section("Experience")
    #job(
      position: "Software Engineer",
      institution: [#lorem(4)],
      location: "UK",
      date: "2022-now",
    )
    #sectionsep

    #section("Education")
    #education(
      institution: [University of Typst],
      major: [Computer Science],
      date: "2015-2019",
      location: "UK",
    )
  ],
)

Option 2 – Flexible template (custom order or hidden sections)

#import "@preview/modernpro-cv:1.3.0": *
#import "@preview/fontawesome:0.6.0": *

#show: cv-double(
  font-type: "PT Sans",
  continue-header: "true",
  margin: (left: 1.5cm, right: 1.5cm, top: 2.2cm, bottom: 1.8cm),
  name: [#lorem(2)],
  address: [#lorem(4)],
  lastupdated: "true",
  pagecount: "true",
  date: "2024-07-03",
  contacts: (
    (text: [#fa-icon("location-dot") UK]),
    (text: [#fa-icon("mobile") 123-456-789], link: "tel:123-456-789"),
    (text: [#fa-icon("link") example.com], link: "https://www.example.com"),
  ),
  left: [
    #let left-sections = (
      section-block("profile", title: "Profile")[
        #descript[#lorem(30)]
      ],
      section-block("skills", title: "Skills")[
        #oneline-title-item(title: "Languages", content: [Python, Typst])
      ],
    )
    #render-sections(sections: left-sections, order: ("profile", "skills"))
  ],
  right: [
    #let right-sections = (
      section-block("experience", title: "Experience")[
        #job(
          position: "Software Engineer",
          institution: [#lorem(4)],
          location: "UK",
          date: "2022-now",
        )
      ],
      section-block("education", title: "Education")[
        #education(
          institution: [University of Typst],
          major: [Computer Science],
          date: "2015-2019",
          location: "UK",
        )
      ],
    )
#render-sections(sections: right-sections, order: ("experience", "education"))
  ],
)

Adjust the left-order and right-order lists to change what appears first. Omit an id (and set include-remaining: false on render-sections) to hide the matching block entirely.

Start the CV

Once you set up the arguments, you can start to add details to your CV / Resume.

I preset the following functions for you to create different parts:

Function Description

#sectionsep End the section

#references(references:()) Add a reference list. In the (), you can add multi reference entries with the following format (name: "", position: "", department: "", institution: "", address: "", email: "",),
#show bibliography: none #bibliography("bib.bib") Add a bibliography. You can modify the bib.bib file to add your publications. Note: Keep this at the end of your CV
#section-block(id, title: none, separator: true)[…] Wrap a section body once, optionally supplying its heading and whether to add a trailing separator
#render-sections(sections: (), order: (), include-remaining: true) Render the prepared section blocks in the order you choose; any blocks not listed in order appear afterward when include-remaining is true
