  • resume

    Automatic resume building and version management with JSONresume and Github Actions. Click the link below to download the pdf (by lukew3)

  • I find it difficult to manually write latex when all I need is to make small changes to a resume, so I built a system of Github actions that allows me to make changes to a json file with my resumes data and automatically build to latex and then pdf with Github actions. You can see it or fork it here: https://github.com/lukew3/resume.

  • cv

    Deprecated, see https://github.com/denysvitali/cv-2/ instead (by denysvitali)

  • 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.

    Previous template: https://github.com/denysvitali/cv

  • I write my CV and resume in LaTeX using moderncv and a customized version of deedy-resume. The CV repo is public if you're curious: https://github.com/evansosenko/curriculum-vitae

    If you are hacking on this today, you can use this starter repo to get a LaTeX project setup that builds and publishes your document with GitHub Actions: https://github.com/makenew/latex-project

  • latex-project

    Bootstrap a new LaTeX project in less than a minute.

  • cv

  • here's mine if that can be useful for anyone, i like the theme: https://gitlab.com/jcelerier/cv

  • resume

  • I made mine based on an ancient cls file years ago, update it every year or so and it's worked great. Repo is also public (you can click on the PDF to see what it looks like) at https://github.com/sbrother/resume.

  • If you have any interest in build the document locally, here is a container I've used in the past.

    (I haven't needed it in a year or so, so it may need some updates...)

  • faq2html

    Convert a structured docx file with FAQs to html.

  • While HTML and other markup languages are great, I wonder if there is a way to use a word processor while creating the document - focusing only on content (spellcheck, etc.) and not on formatting or on syntax. Then, a context specific converter (that is specific to the type of content - a resume, a newsletter, a FAQ page, etc.) takes care of adding the formatting and publishing it.

    As an example, recently, I had to create a bunch of FAQ pages, and I created a tool like [1]. While Pandoc can be used, I still need to worry about (at least basic) formatting the doc while typing it out in the word processor to make it look good in the HTML output.

  • resume

    Adithya's resume generated from a YAML file (by adithyabsk)

  • The common thread in the comments here deals with separating content from styling. I dealt with the same issue when I was applying to jobs and tweaked the `yaml-resume` project to suit my needs. [1] It lets you specify the content in a yaml file which then generated an html page that can be printed (sample output linked). [2]

  • resume

  • this is great. I recently created a markdown -> pandoc resume process I really enjoy. not as much flexibility or control as LaTeX buts a lot easier.

  • cv-2

    An improved version of my CV (Resume) written in Vue

  • I just published the v2 (in Vue) on GitHub [1]. You can see it live here [2].
