Project mention: Ask HN: Down to $16, had 4 job offers rescinded; in crisis mode, where to turn? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-25
Delete your résumé and fill in something like: https://github.com/posquit0/Awesome-CV
You’ll probably need to get a temporary job. I suggest a union job like warehouse worker so you can get benefits.
Don’t let your pride get in the way of contracting.

Project mention: PM wants something that "looks better than a Word doc" | /r/technicalwriting | 2023-06-01
If you really want to go that route, take a look at pandoc and ping me if you have questions. Pandoc in combination with the Eisvogel LaTeX template can be a quick way to get a really good-looking doc.

latexcv
:necktie: A collection of cv and resume templates written in LaTeX. Leave an issue if your language is not supported!
I generally avoid sending Word documents. IMO scanning PDFs is nowadays good enough to deal with LaTeX-generated PDFs. And when it comes to the templates... Personally I use LaTeX generated. Some time ago I was using LibreOffice but updating it was not pleasant. I wanted to have more fancy CV and store the source in GIT. I have chosen Sidebar Left from this repo: https://github.com/jankapunkt/latexcv and I am generally satisfied, but I also respect the above approach.

DND-5e-LaTeX-Template
LaTeX package to typeset material for the fifth edition of the "world's greatest roleplaying game".
Project mention: LaTeX for publishing tabletop role-playing games | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-17> Creating a theme for tabletop role-playing games would take some elbow grease
The article links to several, including a convincing reproduction of basic Wizards of the Coast house style for D&D 5E:
https://github.com/rpgtex/DND-5e-LaTeX-Template
Here's another 5E one with additional sidebar styles:
https://github.com/anoderay/DND-5e-LaTeX-Template/
Also 5E-inspired, with a template for card accessories:
https://github.com/Krozark/RPG-LaTeX-Template
A 5E-compatible character sheet:
https://github.com/matsavage/DND-5e-LaTeX-Character-Sheet-Te...
CTAN also has packages for Basic D&D-inspired typesetting (rpg-module, also linked from the article), GURPS (gurps), generic hex boards (hexboard), and wargame hex boards with counters (wargame).
There are also indie TTRPGs that've shipped using custom LaTeX templates; this one has CC-BY licensed source: https://github.com/ludus-leonis/nipajin
And the blog author's own, with a more restrictive CC-NC-SA license: https://github.com/Vladar4/itdr
From personal experience, the biggest struggle is non-rectangular text wrapping around images.

Resume
RussellGroupCV is a resume template made by following the guidelines followed by the Russell Group in the UK. (by themagicalmammal)
Project mention: Looking for Business Analyst role after graduation and applied like crazy (300+), I got a few interviews and no offer. Would someone be able to give me some advice on improving my CV? | /r/UKJobs | 2023-03-23Beyond that, you could do better on the layout. If you're familiar with LaTeX, it may be worth the investment to create a resume using it. Overleaf has some great templates, they're all free, and in general I found that my response rate improved a lot when I ditched the MS Word appearance for something cleaner like the Russell template.
