What they forgot to teach you about industry transitions from academia (WTF AITA)
summary
Someone moves from a 22‑page academic CV to a two‑page industry resume and sees hiring managers skim stacks of 50 to 100 resumes but pause on materials produced with datadrivencv because R signals matter. Practical tools covered: bslib and thematic inside Shiny (one applicant built a branded Bloomreach demo app and got hired), stevetemplates for one‑page cover letters, usethis for GitHub landing pages, postcards/blogdown/distill/Quarto for portfolios, and a living resource at wtf-aita.com.
