Resumaker

Resumaker is a tool that creates ATS-friendly, professionally formatted, multiple, and multi-targeted resumes from a single YAML file. Write down all the details and let Resumaker handle the formatting and structuring.

Let's assume you know Python and JS, and you're applying to two different companies for two different roles. You'll need to have a different resume for each option. It can be counterproductive to manually write LaTeX code or use an office suite like Word or LibreOffice Writer to write your resume. Instead, write all the information in a YAML file, and Resumaker will create six resumes for you, nicely formatted and ATS-friendly.

See quickstart.

Disclaimer

This is a pre-release version and the current template is intended for software engineers and has the following fields:

• Name, Location, Professional Summary, Education, Skills, Work Experience, Projects, and Links.

Installation

Install resumaker with pip.

pip install resumaker

Requirements

• pdflatex

You also need the following TeX packages:

• parskip, array, ifthen, graphicx, ebgaramond, hyperref

For Fedora, run:

sudo dnf install texlive-scheme-basic texlive-parskip texlive-ebgaramond

For Ubuntu, run:

sudo apt install texlive-latex-base texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-fonts-extra 

If you face any package issues, please download the package for your system and create a pull request to include the package name above. If you use another distribution, please search with your package manager and consider contributing by adding the package name to the list above.

Quickstart

You need a YAML file to write the details. This file can be categorized into two parts:

Common Part

The fields are common to all resumes:

• name, location, contact, education, links

Targeted Part

This will be different for each resume:

• summary, skills, work experience, projects

From the following resume.yml, two PDFs will be created: testuser-swe.pdf and testuser-machine_learning.pdf by running:

Note: You need to escape %, :, $ among other things as these have special meaning in YAML, Tex.

resumaker -f resume.yml
