additional resume template ideas

Open sctyner opened this issue 5 years ago • 6 comments

As requested, an additional template example, this one is specifically for US Federal job applications via USAjobs.gov

Something like this would also be great! (This one was made in latex + Rmarkdown, unlike the previous one, which is pretty clearly made in MS Word.)

Wonderful. That federal template is like the brutalist architecture of CVs.

@sctyner, do you know if the federal template has some sort of specific formatting that is necessary for their systems to scrape it? I just want to make sure matching it visually is okay as I am sure the actual pdf format will look different when generated with chrome printing rather than latex.

AFAIK every job application is read by a human, no scraping. But there is a resume builder tool built into USAJOBS. Linked below is an example of what the “work experience” section looks like. 🤷‍♀️ USAJOBS Resume builder format.pdf

But, I would prioritize human readability/appeal over computer readability.

If you can save me from some small part of the nightmare of USAJOBS, I will owe you many coffees!☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
