This repository is a small side project of mine that creates nice looking applications with a single yaml file. It is used for my plan, to contact all companies within a radius of 20 kilometers.
The CV template was NOT created by me. I downloaded it from here and modified it to be a template used for lightning fast CV creating with pandoc and yaml.
Take a look at the CV.
Or take a look at the letter, created with this repository by clicking here.
There are some prerequisites which I can't even tell you exactly. But the things you need for sure are:
- pandoc - for replacing latex files content with yaml files data.
- make - for easy handling all file generations.
- latex - for compiling the document to an pdf
- latex fonts (debian package: texlive-fonts-extra) - for fontawesome icons
There is a file called data.yml. Open it up and enter your credentials, it is very straight forward.
make output/application.tar.gzThis will then create a tar archive containing two files. cv.pdf and letter.pdf.
If you live in the US, or in another of the almost two hundred non-German lands please remember to open up developercv.cls and change all the German terms like Schullaufbahn to the english equivalent.
Also take a look at the src/letter.tex file to change the default text that stays the same for every company to a less German sounding one.
