What do you guys use to build your CVs? Do you automate it in any way or just use something like Google Docs? I’d be interested to know.
Personally I’ve been using rendercv for a while and I can’t imagine going back to doing it manually. However, I think I might need some more flexibility. Been struggling to get any interviews so I’ve been doing what I can to experiment with my CV. If any of you have a good typst template they’ve actually used to land a role I would love to steal borrow it.
I write my CV in Markdown (just headers and bullet points), and then use
pandocto generate a pdf. Very easy and straightforward!This has landed me interviews although not hired (I think that’s down to me, not the format of my CV 😅)
pandoc \ --variable title-meta:"ambitiousslab - CV" \ --variable author-meta:"ambitiousslab <[email protected]>" \ --variable lang:"en-GB" \ --variable geometry:margin=1cm \ --variable colorlinks:true \ --variable pagestyle=empty \ cv.md \ -o ambitiousslab-cv.pdfOh cool
