# Expressive Resume
A beautiful resume/cover letter LaTeX template pair that are extraordinarily
easy to use.

**Why Expressive Resume??**
- **Declarative:** Use semantically meaningful commands like `\experience` and
`\achievement` instead of worrying about LaTeX plumbing.
- **Cover Letter:** Expressive includes both a resume template *and* a matching
cover letter template.
- **Machine/ATS Friendly:** Expressive Resume was designed by an engineer with
experience building automated resume parsers for [Applicant Tracking Systems](https://www.indeed.com/hire/c/info/what-is-ats#:~:text=when%20the%20ats%20parses%20a%20resume%20and%20determines%20it%20meets%20your%20requirements%2C%20it%20automatically%20moves%20that%20applicant%20forward%20in%20the%20hiring%20process.)
- **Maintainability:** Most LaTeX resume/cover letter templates start with 100-200
lines of formatting code (or more). With Expressive Resume, you simply specify
the `documentclass` and begin writing!
- **Compatibility:** Expressive Resume is written in LaTeX2e, so it is compatible
with most LaTeX typesetting engines.
## Quickstart
The recommended way to use Expressive Resume is via the included "VS Code
devcontainer" which has LaTeX pre-installed in an sandboxed environment
compatible with Windows, Linux, and MacOS.
If you already have LaTeX installed, you can clone the repository and skip
straight to [Create Your Expressive Resume](#create-your-expressive-resume).
### Installation + Setup
Start by making sure [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) and [VS
Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) (including the [Remote Containers
Extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers))
are installed on your machine.
Then create a copy of Expressive Resume and open it in VS Code:
1. Press the [Use this
template](https://github.com/jhale1805/expressive-resume/generate) button
**OR** [create a fork](https://github.com/jhale1805/expressive-resume/fork).
2. Clone your copy of Expressive Resume onto your computer and open it in VS
Code.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/expressive-resume.git
cd expressive-resume
code .
```
VS Code should prompt you to **Reopen in Container**. Accept that prompt.
- If you don't see this pop-up, go to `View -> Command Palette ->
Remote-Containers: Re-Open Folder in Container`
- Note that opening Expressive Resume for the first time may take several
minutes as it downloads and prepares the 4 GB sandboxed LaTeX installation.
Successive launches will be much faster.
### Create Your Expressive Resume
Create an empty `.tex` file in the `src` folder alongside the `.cls` files.
Use a `documentclass` of `ExpressiveResume`
```tex
\documentclass{ExpressiveResume}
\begin{document}
% You will write your resume here.
\end{document}
```
Create your resume header with the `resumeheader` command (all parameters are
optional).
```tex
\resumeheader[
firstname=, % Your first name
middleinitial=, % Your middle initial
lastname=, % Your last name
email=, % Your email
phone=, % Your phone number, formatted as XXX-XXX-XXXX
linkedin=, % Your LinkedIn handle (without the @)
github=, % Your GitHub handle (without the @)
city=, % Your city of residence (ignored if no `state` is given)
state=, % Your state of residence
qrcode=, % the path to a qr code to show in the top right corner
fixobjectivespacing= % Recommended when using both a qrcode and an `objective`
]
```
If you want a summary/objective statement in your resume, that's easy to add.
```tex
\objective{
% Write your objective statement here.
}
```
Adding experiences and achievements is also straightforward.
```tex
\experience{Position}{Organization}{Start Date}{End Date}{
\achievement{
% Describe your achievement here
}
\achievement{
% Describe another achievement here.
}
}
```
You can also easily add inline highlights for the technologies and skills
relevant to the job position you are applying for.
```tex
\tech{
% Name your familiar technology or skill
}
```
And that's it! Take a look at the [resume example](#example-expressive-resume)
to see just how cleanly all of these pieces work together in a simple, readable
`.tex` file to produce a beautiful resume.
### Create Your Expressive Cover Letter
Create an empty `.tex` file in the `src` folder alongside the `.cls` files.
Use a `documentclass` of `ExpressiveCoverLetter`
```tex
\documentclass{ExpressiveCoverLetter}
\begin{document}
% You will write your cover letter here.
\end{document}
```
Create your cover letter header with the `coverletterheader` command (all
parameters are optional).
```tex
\coverletterheader[
firstname=, % Your first name
middleinitial=, % Your middle initial
lastname=, % Your last name
email=, % Your email
phone=, % Your phone number, formatted as XXX-XXX-XXXX
linkedin=, % Your LinkedIn handle (without the @)
github=, % Your GitHub handle (without the @)
city=, % Your city of residence (ignored if no `state` is given)
state=, % Your state of residence
]
```
From there, just write out the text of your cover letter, using a blank line
between paragraphs.
You can also easily add inline highlights for the technologies and skills
relevant to the job position you are applying for.
```tex
\tech{
% Name your familiar technology or skill
}
```
And that's it! Take a look at the [cover letter
example](#example-expressive-cover-letter) to see just how cleanly all of these
pieces work together in a simple, readable `.tex` file to produce a beautiful
cover letter.
