latex-resume-template

This repository contains a LaTeX resume template that is a minimal example based on the tucv package available on CTAN. The template closely follows the tucv_ex.tex example included in the tucv package, with minor formatting differences and suggestions for formatting job sections.

• Minimalist Design: Keep the simplicity of the tucv package.
• Itemized Job Sections: Improved readability when listing work experience.
• Non-Wrapping Locations: For clarity and visual consistency, locations, especially those containing spaces (such as "city, state" formats in the US), are enclosed in \mbox{}.
• Customizable: Easy to customize for personal use.

It is recommended that dates on the resume be formatted in the abbreviated "three-letter-month year" format (e.g., Jan 2023) to ensure a consistent and professional appearance.

Please refer to the tucv package documentation for additional high-level commands for typesetting other sections such as conference attendance or talks, bibliography entries, etc.

Compiling the Resume

You can compile the resume.tex file into a PDF using either the supplied Makefile or TeXShop (MacOS only and part of part of MacTeX).

Using the Makefile

The repository includes a Makefile for easy compilation. To use it, simply run the following command in a terminal in the directory containing your LaTeX files:

make

This command will clean up previous builds and compile your resume into a PDF. To clean only auxiliary files without compiling, run make clean.

Using TeXShop

For those preferring a graphical LaTeX editor like TeXShop, follow these steps:

1. Open resume.tex in TeXShop.
2. Press the "Typeset" button.
