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.

Yep, whatever template I use looks really nice. Very professional.

It’s actually the most editable format my resume has ever been in, too! I started using LaTeX over a decade ago. I just update it when I need to and it prints out exactly the same way to PDF.

I will proselytize something like this for a resume any time. I am very curious about typst as well!
