# Resume Generator

Write your details in [`resume.json`] and generate your CV using `python` script. _(Isn't it simple)_

After generating the final `output.tex` file you can go to platforms like [overleaf.com] to render it in PDF format to

see the final result and make changes here and there according to your need and download it.

## Usage

1. Fill [`resume.json`] with your details.

2. There are multiple CV's that you can generate using same `resume.json` by just using Python. Just choose one and run

   below command to generate `output.tex` file in respective directory.

   ```bash

   uv run resume-01/generate.py

   ```

   > \[!IMPORTANT\]

   >

   > Use [uv](https://astral.sh/uv) to run `generate.py` script because `uv` automatically download the required

   > dependencies and run the script as expected.

3. Copy the contents of generated `output.tex` and paste it to [overleaf.com] (or your know platform) to render it as

   PDF and make changes as you want.

> \[!CAUTION\]

>

> Some resume might require extra packages like [resume-02](resume-02/) require both `output.tex` and `altacv.cls` to

> build successfully. So you need to copy both the files on the platform ([overleaf.com]).

4. Download the rendered PDF and you are ready to send it in Job applications.

## PDF Rendering with Docker

I have first decided to write a `Dockerfile` which render the `output.tex` into `.pdf` format but there are two

situations I have encountered which stopped me for doing this:

1. Although, I have successfully completed the `Dockerfile` which render the `output.tex` in `.pdf` format but I

   **couldn't satisfied with its build time and image size** because it is too much.

2. I realized that even after generating the `output.tex` from [`resume.json`]; I highly recommend you to look into its

   final content on platforms like [overleaf.com] and further edit your Resume/CV according job description and your

   expectation.
