📄 My modular LaTeX CV and résumé designs
My CV and résumé are designed as Modular LaTeX Documents. Each section is stored as a standalone LaTeX file, and is added to the main cv.tex
and resume.tex
files with the use of the \input
command. The main advantage of this design is that you can edit a single section and simultaneously update your CV and résumé, ensuring that they both stay up-to-date.
To download, simply clone the repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/adamjstewart/cv.git
moderncv is a required dependency. You may need to manually hack the source code as moderncv is no longer maintained and contains many bugs.
You will also need a LaTeX compiler and text editor. On macOS, I use MacTeX for LaTeX compilation, Sublime Text as my editor, and the LaTeXTools plugin for Sublime Text. LaTeXTools provides useful shortcuts for editing and compiling LaTeX files. See the installation instructions for MacTeX, Sublime Text, and LaTeXTools to get them up and running.
One of the benefits of LaTeXTools is that you can define a TEXroot
to specify the main project file. Then, when you press ⌘+B, it builds the main file, not the section file. This saves you time because you don't need to switch between the section file and the main file every time you want to see your changes.
Unfortunately, you can only specify one TEXroot
at a time. You will need to switch the TEXroot
in the cv.sublime-project
file between cv.tex
and resume.tex
to build both.
