resume-as-code 0.0.8

A tool for automatic resume generation based on Jinja-Word-templates and YAML-files

Resume-as-code

TODO: update ReadMe

Description

This project is aimed at reducing the work required to create resumes.

In the business context, it is often required to have resumes in all kinds of different formats, styles, etc.

We want our team members at Dataroots to spend as little as time possible on formatting their resume(s), and have the ability to generate their resume in an efficient fashion.

For this, resume-as-code was created. This resume generator combines technologies such as Jinja, yaml and allows the decoupling of creating a resume from formatting a resume.

The idea is that it is possible to define template, such as LaTex, Word, Markdown, etc. and using the same YAML-file, all different kinds of resumes can be generated.

Usage

Currently, the tool only supports Word templates.

There is 1 non-optional argument, namely the location of the resume (yaml-file) on your disk.

Local template, local target

• Use a local template on disk
• Store the template locally on disk

Example usage:

python main.py /path/to/resume.yaml --template_location /path/to/template.docx --target_location /path/to/target.docx

Local template, target on drive

• Use a local template on disk
• Store the template on your google drive.
  • If we do no specify target_location, the generated file is sent to Google Drive

Example usage:

python main.py /path/to/resume.yaml --template_location /path/to/template.docx

Template on drive

• Use a template from your drive
• This is done by passing the name of the docx-template (without the extension) to the command

Example usage:

python main.py /path/to/resume.yaml --template_name name-of-template-on-drive

Verbosity

Verbosity can be enabled by passing the --verbose- or -v-flag to the tool.
