Ask HN: What is the best tool to create a good looking resume?
I am applying for a job soon, where a CV is required. Meanwhile, I only have my LinkedIn-profile that exports to a terrible looking PDF.
Do you know any modern tools that allow you to create good-looking resumes and CV's?
Resume-now is flash-based and quite terrible, and Kickresume doesn't let you try anything if you don't want to pay right of the bet.
- mtmail 11y agoWhat's wrong with MS Word/OpenOffice/LibreOffice? You might need an updated CV every couple of years and who knows if other web-based tools still exist then.
- ameesdotme 11y agoI've never enjoyed making my CVs in a text-processor. Maybe I have the wrong idea of a CV, but I'd like it to be somewhat pretty and also maintainable. I really wish that jsonresume.org takes off and to finally have one standard that works everywhere. Whether a web app dies or not.

- gazby 11y agoLearned this from a friend of mine. Build it in HTML, and have a nice looking display stylesheet that you can email to people who might appreciate such a thing, and also have a print stylesheet which you then print to PDF from your browser of choice. Looking forward to getting rid of my latex version soon.
