Latex is a shibboleth that will get you points in the minds of certain types of engineers looking at your resume. Its a bad signal to evaluate candidates on, but it probably does have some effect.
You don't need to use latex to benefit from this though. Just use computer modern.
- joezydeco 3y agoEvery resume I've ever touched that was set in Computer Modern was from an academic type that was headed back to school in a year or two. Didn't matter if they knew it or not, their head was still in that game. They always go back. I bias against those resumes now.
- ornornor 3y agoI make my CV with LaTeX (and compter modern) and a handmade template. I got an undergrad in business over a decade ago. I’m never going back to school.
