This question is linked to this one, and I want to extend the answer given here.

To be short, I want to do the same thing but with several rounded boxes drawn on the same arrow.

Here is a non-minimal working example:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% THE END

And here is a screen example of what the second page should be: second page

In this example, there are two extra boxes on the right hand side of the page. In my real resume, there are some more. I would like to position the extra boxes vertically as shown in the image below:

example 2

yposition's origin may vary (it could be the baseline of "from date to date" or "job description")

I also would like to be able to manage with variables (or any other way):

  • box round radius
  • box line width
  • colors (this is already done in my example)
  • arrow width
  • arrow colors
  • arrow thickness

I would like to keep what was done with the "experiencebox" tcolorbox if possible.

I would like to avoid page break between job title and job description, but this last constraint is not really important here (I know how to manage with this).

I am aware that I am very demanding with this. I am currently working on how to do this so all advices, ideas, leads are welcome.

So the questions are: how to draw the "timeline arrow" on the left of the column (over several pages) with several "extra boxes" on the right ? Is it possible to do this using environments or commands ?

The output for pages 1 and 2:

enter image description here

I defined a command \SkillsBox that typesets its mandatory argument inside a framed box with the given specifications and to the right of the box with arrows; using the optional argument, options to control the box can be given (see the code for an example). \SkillsBox can be used as many times as required.

I also defined the length \arrowwidth to control the width for the arrow.
