More compact way for different position in one company?

[janjur]

Hi, love your work! CV based on yours landed me quite a few deals :)
Can you consider adding a way to "compactly" add few projects/position under one \cvevent section? So in the final version the location and company name is not repeated several times like "google" positions for Marisa Mayer?

Glad to hear that AltaCV was useful! :D

As a quick hack i.e. without modifying the .cls file, I might try something like this:

\cvevent{Career at Google\hfill\printinfo{\faMapMarker}
  {Palo Alto, CA}}{}{}{}

\cvevent{}{Vice President of Location \& Services}
  {Oct 2010 -- July 2012}{}
\begin{itemize}
\item ...
\end{itemize}

\medskip

\cvevent{}{Vice President of Search Products \& UX}{2005 --  2010}{}

\medskip

\cvevent{}{Product Manager \& UI Lead}{}{Oct 2001 -- July 2005}{}
\begin{itemize}
\item ...
\end{itemize}

The output would be something like this:

Does that resemble what you had in mind?

Thank you for your suggestion. Sorry, that I failed to state that my usecase was self-employment and few projects for few clients in different locations. I've ended up with modifying the class file a bit, though (acting blindly as I don't understand LaTeX v. much). I just added new command.

\newcommand{\newcvevent}[5]{%
  {\ifstrequal{#1}{}{}{\large\color{emphasis}#1\par}}
  \smallskip
  \textbf{\color{accent}#2}\par
  \smallskip
  {\small\makebox[0.4\linewidth][l]{\faCalendar \hspace{0.4em}#3}%
  \ifstrequal{#4}{}{}{\makebox[0.3\linewidth][l]{\faMapMarker\hspace{0.3em}#4}}%
  \ifstrequal{#5}{}{}{\makebox[0.3\linewidth][l]{\color{body}\textit{for} \hspace{0.1em}#5}}\par}
  \medskip
}

Interesting fragment of main.tex:

\newcvevent{MMCorp}{Node.js Developer}{Oct 2013 -- Dec 2016}{Palo Alto, CA}{Google}
\begin{itemize}
\item Some Node work
\item Some Node work
\item Some Node work
\smallskip
\end{itemize}
\newcvevent{}{Cloud Engineer}{Dec 2010 -- Oct 2013}{Sunnyvale,CA}{Yahoo}
\begin{itemize}
\item Cloud work at Yahoo
\item Cloud work at Yahoo
\item Cloud work at Yahoo
\item Cloud work at Yahoo
\end{itemize}

If we imagine that MMeyer created MMCorp and "self-employed" herself there so she can work on B2B contracts, we can list her clients like this:

Not sure if you want to incorporate this usecase somehow in your altacv template. If so, I may provide PR and we can work from there? Maybe I will learn some LaTeX after all :)

Hmm, interesting... I'll have a think and see if it's feasible to add (yet another, perhaps optional) argument to \cvevent.
