From noon yesterday to noon today, I was working on latex to make a resume. That’s very unfriendly for beginners 😢. Luckily I finished it now! Take a look at my CV.
Here’s how I did it:
-> If you only use latex occasionally or a few times, an onilne editor Overleaf can save you lots of troubles. You can find templates, edit and compile them.
-> If you want to do more things, use following steps:
Download MiKTeX and VSCode
MiKTeX
You will get MiKTeX Consle and TeXworks. The latter is an editor but I prefer to use VSCode because it can preview pdf at another window (also because I already have VSCode).
Another choose is Tex Live. It comes with a full package pre-installed, but the download is too slow and often fails so I chose MiKTeX.
VSCode
Remember to download extension latex workshop.
Find a template
On Overleaf or Github.
Here are my favorites:
新卒のためのLaTeX履歴書テンプレート
TLC-Resume-2021
And mine:
Resume-CV (based on TLC-Resume-2021)
Edit the template
You may encounter many problems at this step, most of which require you to download Packages in MiKTeX Console, or other stuff like Perl. Just install the missing items as stated in the error message.
Share your template
- Git your template to github
(Already bound git and your github accounts and set SSH key)
-> Create a new repository
-> Git bash the folder which contains full files about your template
-> Run the following code in Git:
git init
git add .
git commit -m 'Description'
git remote add origin https://... (copy from github)
git push -u origin master
- Submit to Overleaf
That’s where I found the original template for my CV! I think put templates there may help more people.
