When starting to look for work, I noticed how the process of making a resume includes a lot of repetitive work. As a true computer scientist I looked into automating this process. The first step was to write my own LaTeX template. Afterwards I wrote a simple Python script that can generate a resume or a cover letter based on a YAML file specifying the contents. Now making a resume requires me only to modify the content of the YAML file and then I can effortlessly generate a resume out of that.
The code and template are all open source and can be found on Github.
