Nice work!!
Some thoughts:
- For my taste the sections/fields are not flexible enough. There are a few big ones missing, that I have on my résumé or have seen on others. E.g. Projects, Open Source, Involvement, Writing, Speaking Engagements, References... (there are a few more, for a complete list, have a look at the schema I'm using for ProgrammerCV at http://programmercv.com/resume-schema http://programmercv.com/resume-schema, which is open source btw)
- Getting the output as latex is a really nice idea. I'm working on a tool to extract résumé data from linkedin, xing etc. (http://programmercv.com/resume-exporter http://programmercv.com/resume-exporter) and I want to offer export to multiple formats like .docs, .pdf, .html etc... and I'm already seeing that its quite difficult to offer flexibility and at the same time, garantuee some output quality. I guess latex could help... I will add it to my todo :)
- As someone else commented on, for my taste the template feels to cramped. stretching infos over 2-3 pages is preferable over to much on one page, imo. But luckily there are quite a few high quality latex résumé templates out there
- WrtCdEvrydy 10y agoMight have to hit up your LinkedIn extraction. Their new developer API is dick and gives you none of the info you need for a resume.
- wnm 10y agoyes, I agree! thats exactly why I wrote it: I hate that they try to lock users in. That résumé data is mine, and I should be able to export in any format I want. Instead every service tries to lock their users in, and for every other website I use, I need to reenter the same stuff...
- semi-extrinsic 10y agoIf you want to export to multiple formats, pandoc will be your best friend - http://pandoc.org http://pandoc.org
