ResuMe - User Guide

By: CS2103T F10-1      Since: Jan 2020      Licence: MIT

{ start of introduction section written by: Nguyen Chi Hai }

1. Introduction

Hello fellow University friends! Have you ever found writing resumes for job and internship applications a hassle? Have you ever dreamt about an app that can help you manage different resumes for different companies? Have you ever wished for a more streamlined Command Line Interface application that can match your efficiency and typing prowess?

If this sounds like you, ResuMe is the resume managing application for you! Made by University students for University students with looovee, this wonder understands your struggle and strives to cater to your specific resume needs and job application woes.

{ end of introduction section written by: Nguyen Chi Hai }

1.1. Overview

ResuMe allows the management of five different item types:

No. Item type Alias Attributes

1

Internship

int

name, role, from, to, description, tag

2

Project

proj

name, time, website, description, tag

3

Skill

ski

name, level, tag

4

Resume

res

name, tag

5

Note

note

name, time, tag

As you may have noticed from number 4, we are able to manage different resume items as well! Items from number 1 to 3 can be shared across different resume items.

1.2. Preview

The following is the GUI for our application:

Ui annotated
Figure 1. The GUI Components of ResuMe

GUI Components:

  1. Command box: where you enter your commands.

  2. Result box: where the result of a command is shown. It can show a success message or a failure message if something wrong happens.

  3. View box: where the detailed information about an item is shown. For instance, if you are viewing an internship item, this box shows in full the company name, role, from, to, description and tags.

  4. List box: where all items of a certain type are listed. Only one type is displayed at a time. You can change the view of this list using list command. Additionally, when other commands change items of a certain type, the list box will be set to display that type.

  5. User box: where you can view your personal information like name, email, or phone number. Any changes made to your user profile will be automatically reflected here.

  6. Note box: where you can view your list of note items. You can also change the view of this list by using list command. When a note is marked as done, this box will be automatically updated.

Interested? Jump to Section 3, “Quick Start” to get started. Enjoy!

4.3. Listing all items : list

Lists items in the storage.

Format: list i/ TYPE

💡

  • Listed items are in short form, only showing their index, name, tags and a short summary. To view items in full details, use view.

  • The type of items listed will light up in orange.
ℹ️

note list is always showing on the bottom left of the application. list i/ note command will show the entire note lis, this is to be used in conjunction with find for note to show all note items after you have filtered the list.

Examples:

  • list i/ res: Lists all resume items.

    ListAllResumes
    Figure 7. List of all resume items

  • list i/ int: Lists all internship items.

    EditSkillExample
    Figure 15. Application view after editing the skill item at index 2

{ end of edit section written by: Christian James Welly }

{ start of find section written by: Nham Quoc Hung }

4.6. Finding items by name: find

Finds items of a specific type in the corresponding list of items whose names contain the specified keyword(s).

Format: find KEYWORD [MORE_KEYWORDS]…​ i/ TYPE

The specific command syntax could be found in the table below:

Type Format

find KEYWORD [MORE_KEYWORDS]…​ i/ int

Project

find KEYWORD [MORE_KEYWORDS]…​ i/ proj

Skill

find KEYWORD [MORE_KEYWORDS]…​ i/ ski

Resume

find KEYWORD [MORE_KEYWORDS]…​ i/ res

Note

find KEYWORD [MORE_KEYWORDS]…​ i/ note

Example: Try typing in the command box these commands one by one!

    find orbital
    Figure 17. Filtered list of project items whose names contain "Orbital"

{ end of find section written by: Nham Quoc Hung }

{ start of delete section written by: Nguyen Minh Hoang}

4.7. Deleting an item : delete

Deletes an existing item from the ResuMe application.

Format: delete INDEX i/ TYPE

ℹ️

  • The INDEX argument comes before the TYPE argument.

  • Deleting an item will set the list box to display items of that type.

  • All resume items that contain the deleted item will also be updated to reflect the change.
💡
 Use list command to navigate to the correct list to ensure that 1) the item exists, and 2) you know the correct index for deletion. Or just fall back on undo if you accidentally delete the wrong item.

Example:

  1. Suppose we start with the following original list of resume items, as seen using the command list i/ res. Pay attention to the second resume item.

    BeforeDeleteResumeList
    Figure 18. List of all resume items

  2. We delete the 2nd resume with delete 2 i/ res .

    ResumeDelete2
    Figure 19. Application view after deleting the resume item at index 2

  3. We delete the 3rd skill with delete 3 i/ ski . Do note how it is not a must for the list box to display skill items for deletion to proceed. After the deletion the list box is set to show skill items.

    DeleteSkill3
    Figure 20. Application view after deleteing the skill item at index 3

{ end of delete section written by: Nguyen Minh Hoang}

{ start of sort section written by: Nguyen Minh Hoang}

4.8. Sorting an item list : sort

Sorts an item list in the ResuMe application.

Format: sort i/ TYPE order/ SORT_ORDER [reverse/ TRUE_OR_FALSE]

ℹ️

  • The default sort order is ascending. You can specify reverse/ to reverse this order. So use reverse/ true if you want to sort in descending order, and reverse/ false if you just like to type.

  • Sorting an item list will set the list box to display items of that type.
💡

  • redit can be very potent when used in conjunction with sort. Sort internships by latest, then call redit with int/ 1 2 3 to add the three most recent internships to a resume. So easy!

  • For the selected TYPE, the list of items of that type will be sorted according to SORT_ORDER (see the note above for what reverse/ does).

  • Below is the list of criteria by which different item types can be sorted:

Item type SORT_ORDER Criterion

internship

name

Name of internship

internship

time

Start date of internship

project

name

Name of project

project

time

Date of project

skill

name

Name of skill

skill

level

Level of proficiency of skill

resume

name

Name of resume

note

name

Name of note

note

time

Deadline of note

Example:

  1. We sort all resume items by their name in ascending order with sort i/ res order/ name.

    SortResByName
    Figure 21. List of resume items sorted by name in ascending order

  2. We sort all skill items in descending level of proficiency with sort i/ ski order/ level reverse/ true .

    SortSkiByLevelReverse
    Figure 22. List of skill items sorted by level in descending order

  3. We sort all internship by their start date in ascending order with sort i/ int order/ time reverse/ false, specifying reverse/ this time because we really like to type.

    SortIntByTime
    Figure 23. List of all note items sorted by deadline in ascending order

{ end of sort section written by: Nguyen Minh Hoang}

{ start of view section written by: Christian James Welly }

4.9. Viewing an item in details: view

Shows the detailed view of an item.

Format: view INDEX i/ TYPE

💡
 Certain details of specific items, for example the website and description of a project can only be viewed by using this command.

Example: Try typing in the command box these two commands one by one!

  1. list i/ proj

  2. view 1 i/ proj

Outcome:

  1. The first command lists out all the project items in the list box. Assuming you want to view the details of the project item at index 1.

    ListProject2
    Figure 24. List of all project items

  2. The second command shows full details of the project at index 1, displayed in the view box. These includes details that were not shown in the list box, such as its website ("github.com/zheng-code/detask") and its description ("An all-in-one task managing app.").

    ViewDetaskProject
    Figure 25. Updated View Box with the details of the project item at index 1

{ end of view section written by: Christian James Welly }

{ start of redit section written by: Christian James Welly }

4.10. Modifying the content a resume: redit

Modifies the content of a resume to contain the items specified in the command.

ℹ️
 redit is a different command from edit. Please visit FAQ for more information.

Format: redit RESUME_INDEX TYPE/ [ITEM_INDEX…​] [MORE_TYPE/ [ITEM_INDEX…​]]…​

💡
 If you find it a hassle to manually enter items into the resume, you can consider using tagpull!

  • For each TYPE, existing items will be updated to the input items.

  • You can add multiple items of a certain type to a resume by chaining ITEM_INDEX after TYPE/.
    For example proj/ 3 6, will add project item of indices 3 and 6 to the resume.

  • You can remove all items of type TYPE by typing TYPE/ without specifying any ITEM_INDEX after it.

Example 1: Adding items into a new resume

Before you try this example, please ensure you have added at least one internship, one project, and two skill items. You may verify for their presence by using the list command.

Try typing in these commands:

  1. list i/ res

  2. redit 1 int/ 1 proj/ 1 ski/ 1 2

Outcome:

  1. The first command lists out all resume items. Assuming you want to modify the contents of the first resume in the list box.

    ReditListRes
    Figure 26. List of all resume items

  2. The second command modifies the resume at index 1, named "Winter 2019". The resume now contains the internship item at index 1, project item at index 1, and skill items at indices 1 and 2. The following screenshot illustrates what happens after this command:

    ReditAddIntoResume
    Figure 27. Resume content after adding new items

Example 2: Modifying the contents of the resume

Following from example 1, you realise that you actually wanted to use a different set of items for your "Winter 2019" resume. Here is how you can rectify this!

Before you try this example, please ensure you have added at least one internship and three skill items. You may verify for their presence by using the list command.

Try typing in these commands:

  1. list i/ res

  2. redit 1 int/ 1 proj/ ski/ 3

Outcome:

  1. The first command lists out all resume items. Assuming you want to modify the contents of the first resume in the list box. Since we are following from example 1, the "Winter 2019" resume would already have some items in it.

    ReditListRes2
    Figure 28. List of all resume items

  2. Before the second command, the resume contains the same set of items as the one in example 1. The command modifies the resume at index 1, named "Winter 2019". The resume now still contains the internship item at index 1, no project items, and skill item at index 3. The following screenshot illustrates what happens after this command:

    ReditWantSomeThings
    Figure 29. Resume content after modification

You can think of this command as using only the items that has been specified in the command. In this example, we no longer want the items we have previously added, and we would like the "Winter 2019" resume to contain only the first internship item and the third skill item.

Example 3: No modifications to internship and skill items

Following from example 2, you are now satisfied with the internship and skill items, but you would like to add a project item without changing the internship and skill items. Here is how you can do it!

Before you try out this example, please ensure you have at least two project items.

Try typing in these commands:

  1. list i/ res

  2. redit 1 proj/ 2

Outcome:

  1. The first command lists out all resume items. Assuming you want to modify the contents of the first resume in the list box. Since we are following from example 2, the "Winter 2019" resume would already have some items in it.

    ReditListRes3
    Figure 30. List of all resume items

  2. Before the second command, the resume contains the same set of items as the one in example 2. The command modifies the resume at index 1, named "Winter 2019". The resume will now contain the the project item at index 2. The internship and skill items remain unchanged. The following screenshot illustrates what happens after this command:

    ReditKeepSomeThings
    Figure 31. Resume content after modification

So by leaving out one of the prefixes (TYPE/ ITEM_INDEX…​) from the command, you can keep some of the items in your resume!

{ end of redit section written by: Christian James Welly }

{ start of tagpull section written by: Christian James Welly }

4.11. Pulling tagged items into a resume: tagpull

Pulls all the internship, project and skill items with the specified tag(s) into a resume.

Format: tagpull RESUME_INDEX [#/ TAG]…​

ℹ️
 This command does not remove items from the resume and will add items on top of the existing items.

Example 1: Pulling items using one tag

Before you try this example, please ensure you have added some items with the tag "SE". You may verify for their presence by using the list command.

Try typing in these commands:

  1. list i/ res

  2. tagpull 1 #/ SE

Outcome:

  1. The first command lists out all resumes. Assuming you want to modify the contents of the first resume in the list box.

    ReditListRes
    Figure 32. List of all resume items

  2. The second command pulls all items which has "SE" as the tag into the resume at index 1, named "Winter 2019". The following screenshot illustrates the outcome of the command if we have 1 internship item and 2 project items tagged with "SE".

    TagPullOneTag
    Figure 33. Resume content after tagpull

Example 2: Pulling items using multiple tags

Now, maybe you have categorised your items by using multiple tags. So, you think just pulling items using one tags is not sufficient. Our tagpull supports that too!

Before you try this example, please ensure you have added some items with the tag "SE" and/or "github". You may verify for their presence by using the list command.

Try typing in these commands:

  1. list i/ res

  2. tagpull 1 #/ SE #/ github

Outcome:

  1. The first command lists out all resumes. Assuming you want to modify the contents of the first resume in the list box.

    ReditListRes
    Figure 34. List of all resume items

  2. The second command pulls all items which has "SE" or "github" as the tag into the resume at index 1, named "Winter 2019". The following screenshot illustrates the outcome of the command if we have 1 internship item and 2 project items tagged with "SE", and 1 skill item tagged with "github".

    TagPullMultiTags
    Figure 35. Resume content after tagpull

{ end of tagpull section written by: Christian James Welly }

{ start of undo section written by: Nguyen Minh Hoang}

4.12. Undoing a command: undo

Undoes the previous command and restores the state of the application to before that command is performed.

Format: undo

ℹ️

  • An undo is done per command and not per change. If you make multiple changes to your user profile, for instance, using a single me command, then undo will revert all the changes.

  • Commands that can be undone are: add, delete, edit, sort, redit, tagpull, done, clear and me.

  • Commands that make no change to the application state, namely list, view, find, rpreview and rgen, cannot be undone.

  • Successive undo commands will bring the application further back, until there is no more change to undo.

  • You cannot undo if there is no previous state to return to.

Example:

  1. Suppose we hate Java and therefore want to delete it from the list of skill items using a delete 1 i/ ski command. We also do a list i/ proj to switch to viewing projects because that is how staging for an example works.

    deleteJava beforeUndo
    Figure 36. List of all skill items after deleting "Java"
    beforeUndo switchToProj
    Figure 37. List of all project items

  2. But Stockholm’s syndrome kicks in and we decide that Java has its merits, so we revert our action with undo. Voila, Java is back, and our list box now displays skill items.

    postUndo JavaIsBack
    Figure 38. List of all skill items after undo

{ end of undo section written by: Nguyen Minh Hoang}

{ start of redo section written by: Nguyen Minh Hoang}

4.13. Redoing a command: redo

Redoes the most recent undone command and brings the application state to after the (re)execution of that command.

Format: redo

ℹ️

  • A redo is done per command and not per change. If you undo a command that can make multiple changes like redit, then redoing it will resurrect all the changes. Spooky!

  • If a new add, delete, edit, sort, redit, tagpull, done, clear, or me command is performed after an undo, then all states currently available for redo will be erased and you will not be able to go to these states anymore.

  • You cannot redo if there is no forward state to go to.

Example:

After the Java deletion incidence in the previous example section (for undo), we decide that the merits of Java do not warrant the pain it wreaks so we want to redo our original decision to delete Java. Once again, Java is removed from our life.

redo success

{ end of redo section written by: Nguyen Minh Hoang}

{ start of rpreview section written by: Nguyen Chi Hai }

4.14. Previewing a resume: rpreview

Previews a resume in text format in a pop-up window.

Format: rpreview RESUME_INDEX

ℹ️

  • RESUME_INDEX is the index of the resume seen when list i/ res is called.
