Resume

My fork of the Deedy-Resume repository.

A one page, two asymmetric column resume template in XeTeX that caters particularly to an undergraduate Computer Science student. As of v1.3, there is an option to choose from two templates:

1. MacFonts - uses fonts native to OSX - Helvetica, Helvetica Neue (and it's Light and Ultralight versions) and the CJK fonts Heiti SC, and Heiti TC. The EULA of these fonts prevents distribution on Open Source.
2. OpenFonts - uses free, open-source fonts that resemble the above - Lato (and its various variants) and Raleway.

It is licensed under the Apache License 2.0.

Use

Users should modify the file resume.xtx with their own resume information. Then, to compile the resume into a font format foo, simply use the code make foo. The Makefile will take care of ensuring the correct font family is used in the compilation. See the Makefile for more information.

Motivation

Common LaTeX resume-builders such as moderncv and the friggeri-cv look great if you're looking for a multi-page resume with numerous citations, but usually imperfect for making a thorough, single-page one. A lot of companies today search resumes based on keywords but at the same time require/prefer a one-page resume, especially for undergraduates.

This template attempts to look clean, highlight details, be a single page, and allow useful LaTeX templating.

Preview

See the attached pdfs in the repository to preview how the resume would look.

Dependencies

1. Compiles only with XeTeX and required BibTex for compiling publications and the .bib filetype.
2. Uses fonts that are usually only available to Mac users such as Helvetica Neue Light.

Changelog

v1.3

1. Merged together the OpenFonts and MacFonts directories in favor of a single fonts directory, and provided support for compiling into different font styles using a make file.

v1.2

1. Added publications in place of societies.
2. Collapsed a portion of education.
3. Fixed a bug with alignment of overflowing long last updated dates on the top right.

v1.1

1. Fixed several compilation bugs with \renewcommand
2. Got Open-source fonts (Windows/Linux support)
3. Added Last Updated
4. Moved Title styling into .sty
5. Commented .sty file.

TODO

1. Provide explanation of the various input parameters to the resume, to facilitate easy development of a new resume from the template.

Known Issues:

1. Overflows onto second page if any column's contents are more than the vertical limit
2. Hacky space on the first bullet point on the second column.
3. Hacky redefinition of \refname to omit 'References' text for publications in the MacFonts version.
