The main objective is to produce an **ATS-friendly** resume where the text is genuinely machine-readable, rather than rendered as images or unselectable text.\n\n## Why This Exists\n\nI wanted to tune and automate my resume, striking a balance between a minimal, professional format and ensuring automated screening systems can parse everything. Many PDF-export tools add excessive styling or embed fonts in ways that can confuse ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems). This project uses [blackfriday](https://github.com/russross/blackfriday) to convert Markdown to HTML and [go-wkhtmltopdf](https://github.com/SebastiaanKlippert/go-wkhtmltopdf) to render that HTML into a clean PDF.\n\n## How It Works\n\n1. **Markdown to HTML:** `blackfriday` converts the contents of `RESUME.md` into HTML.\n2. **HTML to PDF:** `wkhtmltopdf` (through `go-wkhtmltopdf`) turns that HTML into a PDF with minimal styling, using only system-safe fonts.\n3. **ATS-Focused Output:** The design avoids complicated layouts, columns, or embedded images. The generated PDF has real text with proper spacing and UTF-8 encoding.\n\n## Requirements\n\n- **Go** (1.18+ recommended)\n- **wkhtmltopdf** installed on your system  \n  (e.g., on Debian-based distros: `sudo apt-get install wkhtmltopdf`; on Mac: `brew install wkhtmltopdf`)\n\n## Usage\n\n1. **Clone** this repo.\n2. **Copy** the example resume template `cp RESUME.md.example RESUME.md`\n3. **Edit** `RESUME.md` with your resume content.\n4. **Install dependencies** `go get .`\n5. **Run** `go run .`\n\n## Tuning for ATS\n\n- Keep your Markdown sections straightforward (headings, bullet points, short paragraphs).\n- Avoid tables, columns, or heavy images.\n- Ensure contact info appears as plain text near the top.\n- Don’t rely on external fonts or weird CSS.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcodysnider%2Fresume","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcodysnider%2Fresume","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcodysnider%2Fresume/lists"}
