+I use org-mode as my document production software. +This means that I produce everything in Org. +Notes, papers, presentations, and now my resume. +

+ +

+When I began looking at resume production with Org, I noticed the lack of straightforward packages and user guides. +I'm sure there's something out there, but I sure couldn't find it. +

+ +

+The simplest raw-org method I found is the use of macros, along with a custom export-template. +This approach is nice because it can be adaptede to any standard LaTeX template. +In my case, McDowell CV by Daniil Belyakov is perfect. +

+ +
+

1. Setup

+
+
+
+

1.1. Installing the Template

+
+

+First, get the .cls for your desired template. +If it's on texlive, just install it the usual way. +Since the template I want is on Github, I'll just put the .cls into /home/user/texmf/tex/latex/. +

+
+
+
+

1.2. Preparing Org-Mode

+
+
+
+

1.2.1. Custom Class

+
+

+I add a custom entry to org-latex-classes to make use of McDowellcv: +

+
+
(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
+             '("mcdowellcv"
+               "\\documentclass[]{mcdowellcv}
+                \\usepackage{amsmath}
+                \\usepackage[]{multicol}
+                \\usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref}
+    [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES]
+    [NO-PACKAGES]"
+               ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
+               ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
+               ("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}")
+               ("\\paragraph{%s}" . "\\paragraph*{%s}")
+               ("\\subparagraph{%s}" . "\\subparagraph*{%s}")))
+
+
+
+

+Note that I prevent Org-mode from adding any extra packages to this. +Then I custom-add the multicol and hyperref packages. +

+
+
+ +
+

1.2.2. Lualatex as PDF Processor

+
+

+This template requires lualatex a its pdf producer. +While you could set this as a per-document setting, I like it well enough for everything. +

+
+
(after! ox-latex
+  (setq org-latex-pdf-process
+  '("lualatex --output-directory=/home/user/Documents -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode %f")))
+
+
+
+
+ +
+

1.2.3. ox-extra for ":ignore:" tags

+
+

+I want to be able to ignore headings on export. +

+
+
  (use-package! ox-extra
+    :after (org)
+    :config
+    (ox-extras-activate '(latex-header-blocks ignore-headlines)))
+(add-to-list 'org-tags-exclude-from-inheritance "ignore")
+
+
+
+
+
+ +
+

1.3. Creating the Macros

+
+

+At the top of my resume file I use a config block to keep my macro definitions tidy: +

+
+
:CONFIG:
+#+LATEX_CLASS: mcdowellcv
+#+OPTIONS: toc:nil title:nil
+#+MACRO: cvsection \begin{cvsection}{$1}
+#+MACRO: end-cvsection \end{cvsection}
+#+MACRO: cvsubsection \begin{cvsubsection}{$1}{$2}{$3}
+#+MACRO: end-cvsubsection \end{cvsubsection}
+:END:
+
+
+

+Other options can be set here as well, of course. +

+ +

+If you're using some other resume template, or even some unrelated LaTeX template, +you can see how easy it would be to adapt the macro workflow. +

+
+
+
+ +
+

2. Writing your Resume

+
+

+After you've set up your macros, use is simple. +You use standard org headlines with the ignore tag to structure your document, and then macros to manage the cv content. +image +Notice that I separate the ending macros using another header line. +I'm not sure why that's necessary, but when I attempt to remove it, export breaks. +

+ +

+I like to keep my resume on a single sheet. +This requires some content juggling, but it forces me to filter out everything that is unimportant. +Of course, being young I have little content and so I can fit just about everything. +

+ +

+If you're in school, the careers department can almost certainly help you out with more specific style guides. +

+
+
+ +
+

3. Future improvements.

+
+

+Back when configuring the custom class you may have noticed the rows of cons cells underneath the header-string. +These define what each level of org-header is to translate into. +If you're paying attention you've also noticed that McDowellCV provides a set of commands cvsection and cvsubsection that would work perfectly in this scenario. +You're right, except that these commands require extra properties to specify dates and other features. +

+ +

+At some point I'll figure out how to pass parameters into them through the default header-export mechanism. +For now I'm comfortable with my macros. +
