CV LaTeX template

This LaTeX template creates a full job application and attached CV when provided 2 complete input .tex files for personal and recipient data. It uses pdflatex and targets german recipients only!

Usage

To customize the PDF to your needs, you have to provide these two files:

• my_data.tex -- contains your data and CV information
• recipient_file.tex -- contains contact informarmation of the recipient

You can use the data_example/*.tex files to create a dummy PDF and as guidance to adjust the input .tex files to your real data.

To pass these files to ´make´/pdflatex you have to define the pathes to them as environment variables CV and RECP.
Then you can start the PDF creation. The code below will generate a test PDF and put it into the locally created ´build´ folder.

´´´bash export CV=data_example/my_data.tex RECP=data_example/recp_file.tex make clean && make ´´´

You can use nix-shell to replicate the required dependencies (see shell.nix file).

Customization

Of course you have to define certain information as variables to get a reasonable result but if you don't have any reasonable value to set, you still have to define the required variables as empty like ´\def\MyExample{}´.

You can provide any number of images of scanned documents to attach in the data folder like data_example/*.{png,jpg}. Once all required and wanted images are present you can refer to them in your my_data.tex file, in the \def\CVDocs section, in a relative fashion.
Please consider a propper format and aspect ratio because the images will get stretched to varying spaces left on a single page.

\subsubsection{Additional Certificate Title}
\PageFillImage{some_cert_page_1.png}
\PageFillImage{some_cert_page_2.png}
% and so on

Besides the images you explicitly define the PDF creation also requires fixed images, ´profile_pic.jpg´ and ´signature.jpg´ to be presend in the my_data.tex folder.

I don't really care and picked MIT out of habit.
