Out-of-the-box solution to get your resume online. Built on WordPress's custom post types, it offers a uniquely familiar approach to publishing

== Description ==

WP Resume is an out-of-the-box solution to get your resume online and keep it updated. Built on WordPress 3.0’s custom post type functionality, it offers a uniquely familiar approach to publishing. If you’ve got a WordPress site, you already know how to use WP Resume.

You can [see it in action](http://ben.balter.com/resume/) or for information and troubleshooting, check out the [Plugin Homepage](http://ben.balter.com/2010/09/12/wordpress-resume-plugin/).

Features include:

* Support for sections (e.g., education, experience), organizations (e.g., somewhere state university, Cogs, Inc.), positions (e.g., bachelor of arts, chief widget specialist), and details (e.g., grew bottom line by 15%, president of the sustainability club)
* Follows best practices in resume layout and design
* One click install, just start adding content
* Drag and drop ordering of resume elements
* Built on existing WordPress code, utilizing a single custom post type and two custom taxonomies
* The WYSIWYG editing experience you know and love
* Revisioning
* Integrates with your theme like they were made for each other (via a shortcode)
* Does not use pretentious accents on the word "resume"
* Extremely original title

The hardest part of getting your resume online should be doing the work listed on it, not wrestling the publishing platform. Simply put, WP Resume steps aside and lets your experience shine.

== Installation ==

1. Upload `plugin-name.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress

= Use =

WP Resume groups your resume content into sections. Common sections might be "Experience", "Education", or "Awards".

Within each section, your positions are grouped by organizations.  These are often places you've worked (e.g., Cogs, Inc.) or places you've studies (e.g., University U.). 

Each position has a title (e.g., Widget Specialist), details (e.g., increased bottom line by 25%), and dates of service (e.g., from: May 2005, to:August 2009). Dates are not required, but the positions on your resume are sorted reverse chronologically by default (you can always manually arrange them on the options page).

1. Add content to your resume through the Resume->Add New Position panel in the WordPress administrative backend
2. If you wish, add a title, contact information, and order your sections in the Resume->Options panel
3. Create a new page as you would normally
4. Add the text [wp_resume] to the page's body
5. Your resume will now display on that page.

Note: Although some styling is included by default, you can customize the layout by modifying your theme's stylesheet
