Classic : more lines for experience section

[Sophalsun888]

Hello M Jan Küster Thank you for this wonderful job.

About the classic resume, how can I add more lines under an experience , it seems to be limited at 2 lines !!

Thanks a lot for your help

Hi @Sophalsun888 thank you,

the makro \cvevent is limited to two lines in it's current definition but that does not prevent you from extending it:

% creates a stretched box as cv entry headline followed by two paragraphs about 
% the work you did
% param 1:  event time i.e. 2014 or 2011-2014 etc.
% param 2:  event name (what did you do?)
% param 3:  institution (where did you work / study)
% param 4:  what was your position
% param 5:  some words about your contributions
%
\newcommand{\cvevent}[5]
{

\begin{tabular*}{1\textwidth}{p{13.6cm}  x{3.9cm}}
    \textbf{#2} - \textcolor{bgcol}{#3} &   \vspace{2.5pt}\textcolor{sectcol}{#1}
\end{tabular*}

\vspace{-8pt}
\textcolor{softcol}{\hrule}
\vspace{6pt}

  $\cdot$ #4\\[3pt]
  $\cdot$ #5\\[6pt]

}

as you can see the last two parameters #4 and #5 represent these two lines. If you want more than two lines, you would have to extend the max. args from [5] to [6] and add another parameter:

\newcommand{\cvevent}[6]
{

\begin{tabular*}{1\textwidth}{p{13.6cm}  x{3.9cm}}
    \textbf{#2} - \textcolor{bgcol}{#3} &   \vspace{2.5pt}\textcolor{sectcol}{#1}
\end{tabular*}

\vspace{-8pt}
\textcolor{softcol}{\hrule}
\vspace{6pt}

  $\cdot$ #4\\[3pt]
  $\cdot$ #5\\[3pt]
  $\cdot$ #6\\[6pt]

}

Now here is the thing: You can change this in any way you want, for example could you replace the bullets with a single parameter, and pass an item-list (using itemize:

\newcommand{\cvevent}[4]
{

\begin{tabular*}{1\textwidth}{p{13.6cm}  x{3.9cm}}
    \textbf{#2} - \textcolor{bgcol}{#3} &   \vspace{2.5pt}\textcolor{sectcol}{#1}
\end{tabular*}

\vspace{-8pt}
\textcolor{softcol}{\hrule}
\vspace{6pt}

#4
}

which you then call via:

\cvevent{2016 - present}{Scientific Employee / PhD Student}{University of XYZ}
{\begin{itemize}
  \item did this and that
  \item and this and this
  \item solved a lot of things
\end{itemize}}

I will generate a wiki entry out of this so this question has a general answer. Feel free to reopen if this does not answer your question in any way.

Alternatively, you could add a flexible number of arguments with the "shopping list"-idea to the macro like that:

\makeatletter \newcommand{\cvsubevent}[1]{$\cdot$ #1 \\[3pt] \checknextarg} \newcommand{\checknextarg}{\@ifnextchar\bgroup{\gobblenextarg}{ }} \newcommand{\gobblenextarg}[1]{$\cdot$ #1 \\[3pt]\@ifnextchar\bgroup{\gobblenextarg}{ }}

and call this macro by \cvsubevent{the one and only subpoint}

or

\cvsubevent{first out of many}{second and still not last}{third subpoint}{subpoint number 4}{and the fifth and final subpoint}
