Automate Your Resume Creation with the Resume Generator 🚀
Creating and updating your resume can often feel like a tedious task. With the Resume Generator, you can automate the process and ensure that your latest resume updates appear in a PDF format without any hassle. Built using LaTeX, this solution streamlines the way you generate and manage your resume, triggering automatic updates with each commit.
In this post, we’ll walk you through how the Resume Generator works, how to set it up, and how to get started. Let’s dive in!
🚀 How the Resume Generator Works
The Resume Generator uses LaTeX, a powerful typesetting system that ensures your resume looks clean, professional, and well-organized. Here’s how it works:
- Edit the Resume.tex file – You can start by modifying the content of your resume using LaTeX. Update your work experience, education, and skills in a single, easy-to-edit file.
- Commit the changes – After making edits, commit the changes to your repository. The system will automatically generate a new Resume.pdf.
- Download the generated PDF – The tool creates the updated PDF file and makes it available for download in the repository. It’s that simple!
By automating the PDF generation, you never have to worry about formatting issues or manually generating your resume. Each commit creates an updated Resume.pdf reflecting your latest changes.
🛠️ Prerequisites
Before using the Resume Generator, make sure you install pdflatex on your system. pdflatex compiles LaTeX files into PDF format. You can easily install it using a package manager like apt-get on Ubuntu or Homebrew on macOS.
To install pdflatex, run the following command depending on your operating system:
On Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install texlive
On macOS:
brew install --cask mactex
Once pdflatex is installed, you’re ready to start automating your resume creation!
