HackMyResume

Years ago I was using a Word document for my CV but every time I wanted to update the style it was a pain. I found a command line tool that I have been using for years which allows to decouple data (json) and presentation (web technologies based themes, I created my own theme). The name is hackmyresume (https://github.com/hacksalot/HackMyResume) or fluentcv (https://github.com/fluentdesk/FluentCV). I'm afraid it's no longer maintained but I still use it. It supports JsonResume (JRS) and also its own format FRESH. It outputs to multiple formats including word and pdf.

I’ve had some success in the past years using “Hack My Resume” https://github.com/hacksalot/HackMyResume

Good start. Couple of quick thoughts: I agree with others the look and feel can be improved. A great solution to that problem is the open source project JSONResume [0] and its brother-from-another-mother HackMyResume [1]. The exercise of entering your information as structured data may be beneficial in itself (both projects run off a JSON file), as the schema forces you to adopt generally accepted best practices (e.g. each job should contain a short intro summary with a few bullet points to showcase accomplishments/highlights). The primary benefit is it gives you access to dozens of well designed templates, many geared towards recent CS grads. Good luck!

Heh, well, it is on GitHub, and there is a history of merged PRs: https://github.com/hacksalot/HackMyResume/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%...

I was all set to roll my eyes about another json/markdown/whatever resume tool, but just seeing the console screenshot[0] made me rethink that. [0] https://github.com/hacksalot/HackMyResume/blob/master/assets...
