resumaker 1.0.0rc4

Effortlessly create multiple, ATS-friendly resumes from a single YAML file with Resumaker.

---

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.

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
