Your CV as an Infographic (using LaTeX)
- na85 10y agoI love to see creative uses for (La)TeX. The infographic looks really quite slick. Kudos.
- SFJulie 10y agoAnti-typographic: it confuses the reader and slows the search of crucial information. CV is literally the flow of your life, so it is better presented as a flow of experiences as the majority of the data. When I read latex I expect typographic clarity. Because typography is hard and still the best way to improve reading speed and clarity.
- na85 10y agoNot sure what you mean by anti-typographic. Do you disagree with the choice of fonts?
- llccbb 10y agoNice graphic and template. I don't think this is a CV, but maybe there is a European/American difference in what that means.
- darkmarmot 10y agoAs an American who reviews resumes to hire others, it looks pretty much standard with regards to content. How does the typical European CV differ?
- na85 10y agoI'm Canadian but I can tell you it's common here to use CV and resume as synonyms when in fact a CV is not the same thing.
- clean_send 10y agoAs a designer/hiring manager, I will be the first to say please do not use this infographic. It lacks really basic information hierarchy and the type choices are really hard to read. Another thing is a lot of companies use software to pull out information from resumes and create a database, this makes it really hard to pull the info. Resumes should be clear and concise. They should highlight your accomplishments and peak the interest of the recruiter or manager. This teeters on the line of, pass or instant fail.
- JamilD 10y agoMaybe it's just me, but I find it hard to focus and find information quickly. It's quite a distracting template.
