Tired of managing different versions of my resume, I drew inspiration from Alessia Bellisario's "resume-as-code" and moved my resume design to LaTeX.
Rather than start from scratch, given that my initial knowledge of LaTeX was minimal, I used one of the templates provided by resumake.io, which gave me clean, well-structured LaTeX code as a jump-off point.
To generate a PDF from this LaTeX code, navigate to this folder in a terminal and run:
xelatex resume.tex
You will need to have xelatex
installed on your machine. On a Mac, you can install MacTex, which includes all of the libraries you'll need, via brew cask install mactex
, or via the provided binaries at https://www.tug.org/mactex/
Alternatively, you can use a site like ShareLaTeX to build and edit your LaTeX instead.
