Why? LaTeX is good at what it does, and there are predefined templates for high quality resumes in various layouts (for example see [1] and [2]). I've written more using LaTeX than Word, so it's easier for me (and others I presume) to produce good results for out of the ordinary documents, like a resume, in LaTeX.

- vfulco2 8y agoThe problem is many employers and headhunters demand MS Word. As a professional resume writer, I love the output of LaTeX which I use with rmarkdown and want to offer a cheap, easy way for DIYers to do their own. Inevitably, I will be asked to convert to the Word version. Still haven't gotten a good styles.docx file setup to do that.
