This resume was built using a modified version of the hResume plugin built by the team at Spur.
PDF generation, enhanced tagging, and interactive skills section were added to the original plugin by yours truly. If you are interested in the enhanced plugin, let me know, I would be more than happy to share my work with you.
Hello,
My compliments to you on a wonderful site. I am in the process of setting up something very similar, and came across your site in my research.
I love what you have done with the skills section. I’ve something very similar in mind, only including charts.
I have installed the my-hresume plugin you mentioned, and I am very impressed with the admin page.
I’m hitting a snag, however, when trying to understand how to access the resume page once it’s created. I’m not understanding the provided instructions at all.
I’m using the woothemes theme Typebased, if that provides any clues.
I would certainly be grateful to hear back from you with any guidance you may have.
Thanks for any suggestion you may offer.
