cv VS json-resume-template

Switched from a LaTeX based CV [1] (source [2]) to a Vue based one [3] (source [4]).

My new CV is more maintainable and I can do things that aren't really straightforward with LaTeX (multi page table), but one of the issues is rendering it to PDF. So far the best solution I've found is to use Puppeteer.

In any case I think that the result is pretty cool (https://cv.denv.it), but almost no one accepts "web based CVs" (or at least, they are not that common).

Same but I switched to a web page (with Vue) instead, that can be printed as a PDF.

Definitely more manageable, especially when it comes to alignment, multi-page tables and fonts.

I too have my CV made with LaTeX and using a modified template I've found.

The interesting part is that I can version my CV (actually, this one here is already pretty old), and run a CI job to build the document (which in this case I chose to version along with the repository - I know, bad choice).

Overall it's as you say, you can just edit a line (even with your phone) and you're good to go.

There is an open standard called jsonresume. https://jsonresume.org/

I won't comment on the information on your resume as others already have given their prospective. This is based on personal experience, but I had a better success rate when I started using https://jsonresume.org/ for my resume. I definitely saw an increase on companies reaching out. Give it a shot! You will land a possition eventually, keep on going!

I really want to try our typst but realistically, I'm never going to write a paper in my life. The only document that I send as a PDF is my resume. I'm currently using jsonresume for this, and I'm reasonably happy with it.

From the inverse side (not a schema for forms, but for your own data), there's JSON Resume

I used an open source resume framework called [jsonresume](https://jsonresume.org/) the template is called [one](https://github.com/PhillipChaffee/jsonresume-theme-one). I used NPM to install it in true front-end dev tradition but there's other options on the [org](https://jsonresume.org/) site if you don't want to install a bunch of stuff.

Long ago there was this thing but it never took off.

Check out https://jsonresume.org/. There’s a Chrome Extension for LinkedIn that pulls your profile into their schema. Paste the schema into a GitHub Gist and voila!
