ResuMeow

Welcome to Resumeow! An automaic CV generator written in nu.

This brutal script allows you to create a beautifully formatted CV in LaTeX from a simple YAML input file and command-line parameters.

Usage

To generate a CV, use the following command:

nu template.nu --input <path_to_input.yaml> --template <path_to_template.tex> --output <path_to_output.tex>

--input: Path to the YAML file containing the CV data.
--template: The input to the template file to use. The only template supported as of now is template.tex
--output: Path where the generated .tex will be saved.

The input YAML file should be structured as follows:

name: The name of the individual.
language: The language in which to generate the headers - supported languages are:
- eng
- es
- fr
- it
- de
img: the path to the image to insert in the CV
color: the hex code of the color of the CV
profile: A list of profile descriptions.
desiderata: A list of job desires or requirements.
languages: A list of languages known.
contacts: Contact information including mail, phone, and links.
key_competences: A list of key competences with name and text.
transversal_competences: A list of transversal competences with name and text.
work_experiences: A list of work experiences with title, company, dates, description, and optional items.
education: A list of educational qualifications with title, institution, and grade.

You can find an example one here

ResuMeow will not compile the latex into a pdf; it will only generate a valid .tex file.
The template uses a fixed layout, which may not accommodate all content if the input data is too extensive.
- The Competences section must fit in one page.
- The Experiences section must fit in one page.
The color scheme is limited to a single customizable color, which may not suit all branding needs.
The image size and placement are fixed, which might not be ideal for all types of images.
