Getting Started

Prepare Your Resume Data

Start by creating a YAML file describing your background, skills, and experiences. You can use the provided examples/john_doe.yml as a reference for the expected structure and fields.

Tip: resemu provides a JSON schema (resume_schema.json) to help you edit your YAML file with autocompletion and validation in your IDE.

Generate Your PDF Resume

Once your YAML is ready, generate a PDF with:

resemu generate -t engineering -o my_resume.pdf my_resume.yml

• -t, --template lets you pick the desired template (default: engineering)
• -o, --output sets the output PDF filename

Validate Your YAML

Before generating, you can check your YAML file for errors or missing fields:

resemu validate my_resume.yml

The CLI will let you know about any structural issues or missing required data.
