Great first impression
Point out with a progressive layout. Give decision makers and HR only the most important information about you on one single page.
Beginner friendly
Pick a template, replace the content, compile, done. If that's not enough you can easily customize colors, fonts and layout. The templates are documented directly in the code.
Minimal environment
You need a minimal tex-live distribution to compile the templates. No XeTeX or LuaTeX required. No other SDKs or environments required.
How to build?
The following guide just briefly describes the requirements and build procedure as there are many ways to install a LaTeX distribution on various OS. Please create an issue, if this part is not helpful.
Build Requirements
You will need some minimal Texlive distrubution (The full texlive distribution is nearly 2GB large but you will need only a part of it). A good starting point is here: https://www.latex-project.org/get/#tex-distributions
If you want to install texlive from tug.org instead, you can use this guide: https://tug.org/texlive/
Users of various Linux distrubutions can also install texlive from their repositories.
This repo also contains a texlive.profile file in the project root, that can be used to install the minimum required texlive packages when manually installing texlive.
Build Procedure
- Clone or download this project.
- Change to a template folder, which contains a
main.texfile do - Edit the
main.texaccording to your CV credentials, optionally change settings and colors etc. - Run
pdflatex(build/compile)
- The
main.pdfshould show the output.
