Using LaTeX to make a resume

A few days ago, I was a little bored, so I browsed the blog of technical Daniel on the Internet and found that many Daniel liked to use the resume in pdf format, and found that the resume layout in this format was very beautiful and concise. After in-depth study, it was found that it was actually generated by LaTeX (one more thing, I have to admire the TeX typesetting invented by Master Donalde. Knuth is really beautiful).

LaTeX may not be known to many people, but those master students and doctoral students who are busy distributing papers should know it well. Of course, those children in the mathematics department who are struggling should also know, because the typesetting effect of word on mathematical formulas is far from LaTeX. As for the specific information of LaTeX, I won't talk nonsense here. Interested students can go to Google and Baidu.

Anyway, it is difficult to write a resume, especially starting from scratch, which is even more difficult for me as a novice LaTeX. So Google took a look and found a shared resume template called moderncv. With the template, it's much easier (by the way, I actually found that Daniel rewrote it with this template).

It should be a zip package after downloading, and the directory after decompression is as follows:

Among them, yes. Sty files are all files that define resume styles, as well. In fact, these are all generated after writing LaTeX style source code. Interested students can continue to delve into other knowledge of LaTeX, and they should gain something. These documents will be used when we write our resumes in the future.

Next, look at the sample folder:

Well, there are many things in it, which students who know LaTeX a little will know. In fact, there are only those. Tex file is what we want and it is also very important. Why? Because those files are templates. Our resumes depend on them.

There are three. Tex files: template.tex, template-es.tex and template-zh.tex. As the name implies, these three templates represent Chinese and English resumes respectively. Actually, template.tex is an English template. What language template template-es.tex is? I don't know. It's not an English template anyway.

Ok, the rest is to start writing our resumes. Let's create a folder, such as MyCV, and then put the aforementioned. Sty file, Cls files and. Tex template file is in it.
