Latex CV

• You can create your CV using this template on Overleaf very easily.
• This CV is inspired by the design of Awesome CV.
• You might think this as a simplified version. I created this project from scratch to learn Latex and the way I wrote might not be the best latex practices. However, it is easy to play with the high level functions provided in CV.tex file without going too much into the detail to have a certain level of expressiveness in your resume. The simplicity also makes it easy to understand what is going on and also enables to make low level customizations.

How does it look?

How to use it?

• With minimum effort, you can use the CV.tex as it is provided with the high level functions such as \datedexperience, \explanation, \explanationdetail to add elements to your CV. You can create skill elements with \newcommand{\skillname{\createskill{<Skill Category>}{<explanation>}}} and finally create the list of skills with \createskills{<comma seperated skills list>}.
• You can also use it for your cover letter by just using

  \setcompanyname{GOOGLE INC.}
  \setcontactperson{Mr.Brown}
  \setclaimedposition{Junior Data Scientist} 
  \coverletter{ %
  <coverlettertext>
  }
  

  and deleting the rest of sections.
• Of course, if you want to go further you can check the muratcan_cv.cls file. This is my first latex project so it might be error-prone and not as generic as possible(I still have some warnings that needs to be resolved). However I tried to make it understandable for later contributions.
• You can change the header content with the set.. commands in the beginning and also the the color of the theme.
• Just replace the actual texts with your related education/experience and also don't forget to replace \lipsum[1][1-12]\par with actual texts. That package is just used for illustration reasons. Since I am not sure what to write to those parts of the resume right now.

TODOS

• Resolve the warnings.

Warning

• For Mac users, If you use TexShop, you need to locate the AwesomeFont in your file system and load to your system. It is most probably under /usr/local/texlive/2019/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public. Just locate it and double-click install. Then you are good to go.
