What do you guys use to build your CVs? Do you automate it in any way or just use something like Google Docs? I'd be interested to know.

Personally I've been using rendercv for a while and I can't imagine going back to doing it manually. However, I think I might need some more flexibility. Been struggling to get any interviews so I've been doing what I can to experiment with my CV. If any of you have a good typst template they've actually used to land a role I would love to ~~steal~~ borrow it.

I am using Overleaf which is a Latex GUI and has quite a few good templates.

I've tried it before but I found Latex a bit hard to work with. I'll probably use typst if I'm doing it manually. Any templates in particular you recommend though?

I've created my own version based on the Simple Hipster template.

Interesting, thanks. Had much success with it?

[-] einkorn@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago

Success as in getting hired? Yes.

With your version of that template yeah. Cool!
