Add list of professional references

[thiagoveloso]

This CV is literally awesome, very close to perfection (at least for my needs).

To make it even better, could anyone help me add a list of professional references by the end of the CV?

I've found a discussion with a potential solution here: (http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/34881/references-section-in-a-cv). But adapting it to this Awesome-CV template is far beyond my (basic) Latex skills.

Can anyone more proficient give a little hand?

Thank you in advance!

Could you provide with the solution here.. The link doesn't seem to show the comment discussing the topic.

This was the suggested hack written as a comment:

\cvsection{References}

\bigskip
\descriptionstyle{
  \begin{cvitems}
  \item \textbf{Referee 1.} Address, email.
  \item \textbf{Referee 2.} Address, email.
  \end{cvitems}
}

The following code snippet is the modified version of stack exchange code to work with Awesome CV

\cvsection{References}

\newcommand{\cvdoublecolumn}[2]{%
    \begin{minipage}[t]{{.45\linewidth}}#1\end{minipage}%
    \hfill%
    \begin{minipage}[t]{{.45\linewidth}}#2\end{minipage}%
}

\newcommand{\cvreference}[7]{%
    \textbf{#1}\newline% Name
    \ifthenelse{\equal{#2}{}}{}{#2\newline}%
    \ifthenelse{\equal{#3}{}}{}{#3\newline}%
    \ifthenelse{\equal{#4}{}}{}{#4\newline}%

@aklife97 thanks for the code, that's perfect!

[mbuet2ner]

Building on top of @aklife97 code snippet, I added a few modifications to closer align the style with the template.

• added missing icons
• clickable email
• fixed bold name (solution is somewhat hacky)
• use font configuration consistent with the rest of the template

\cvsection{References}

\newcommand{\cvdoublecolumn}[2]{%
    \begin{minipage}[t]{{.45\linewidth}}#1\end{minipage}%
    \hfill%
    \begin{minipage}[t]{{.45\linewidth}}#2\end{minipage}%
}

\newcommand{\cvreference}[7]{%
    \entrytitlestyle{#1}\newline% Name
    \ifthenelse{\equal{#2}{}}{}{#2\newline}%
    \ifthenelse{\equal{#3}{}}{}{#3\newline}%
    \ifthenelse{\equal{#4}{}}{}{#4\newline}%
    \ifthenelse{\equal{#5}{}}{}{\faHome\acvHeaderIconSep~#5\newline}%
    \ifthenelse{\equal{#6}{}}{}{\href{mailto:#6}{\faEnvelope\acvHeaderIconSep~#6\newline}}%
    \ifthenelse{\equal{#7}{}}{}{\faMobile\acvHeaderIconSep~#7\newline}}

\cvdoublecolumn{\cvreference{Best reference}
    {Department of Superiority}
    {University of the Universe}
    {}
    {Address 42, 4242}
    {mail@mail.mail}
    {1337}%
}
{\cvreference{Best reference}
    {Department of Superiority}
    {University of the Universe}
    {}
    {Address 42, 4242}
    {mail@mail.mail}
    {1337}%
}

Result:

@mbuet2ner That's great! Is there any way to decrease the size of the font though? The built in font size macros (\footnotesize, \tiny, \small etc.) don't work within the template.

[mbuet2ner]

@StefanVeleski glad you like it. I have no idea to be honest. Maybe check for some predefined text snippet in the class file?

@StefanVeleski To change the style you can use predefined styles: https://github.com/posquit0/Awesome-CV/blob/4be6c213c8631a1fd68d1ad452e88b722b911f78/awesome-cv.cls#L186-L200

or you can define your own.

Here's an example:

\cvsection{References}

\newcommand*{\emaillink}[1]{{\fontsize{8pt}{1em}\bodyfont\scshape\color{awesome} #1}}

\newcommand{\cvdoublecolumn}[2]{%
    \begin{minipage}[t]{{.45\linewidth}}#1\end{minipage}%
    \hfill%
    \begin{minipage}[t]{{.45\linewidth}}#2\end{minipage}%
}

\newcommand{\cvreference}[5]{
    \entrytitlestyle{#1}\newline
    \descriptionstyle{#2}\newline
    \descriptionstyle{#3}\newline
    \faHome\acvHeaderIconSep~\descriptionstyle{#4}\newline
    \href{mailto:#5}{\faEnvelope\acvHeaderIconSep~\emaillink{#5}\newline}}

\cvdoublecolumn{\cvreference{Best reference}
    {Department of Superiority}
    {University of the Universe}
    {Address 42, 4242}
    {mail@mail.mail}
}
{\cvreference{Best reference}
    {Department of Superiority}
    {University of the Universe}
    {Address 42, 4242}
    {mail@mail.mail}
}

I hope this helps.
