LinkedIn 2 CV

==============

Turn your LinkedIn Profile into a professional resume in many formats (PDF / HTML5 / LaTeX / Asciidoc)

## Motivations

Everyone stalks you on LinkedIn and that's where you get opportunities. But apparently you still need to give a resume/CV before you have your next job interview. So, rather than duplicate efforts you can focus on writing it once well, and then producing a resume in whatever format you want!

Oh, and don't bother using the LinkedIn 'Export to PDF' feature - it sucks.

## Getting Started

### Web

There is a basic [web interface](http://linkedin2cv.onegeek.com.au) that lets you download a no-frills, vanilla resume if you don't want to install the gem and customise the output.

### Local / Custom Installation

First, install a Tex distribution  ([MacTex](http://www.tug.org/mactex/) or [TexLive](http://www.tug.org/texlive/)) so that you can produce LaTeX documents. Then, simply run the converter:

    

    gem install linkedin2cv

    linkedin2cv convert --format latex --options config.yml matt.fellows

The converter should open up a Web Browser and ask you to sign-in to LinkedIn, enabling it to pull down your profile and convert it into a pretty CV.

## Custom fields/data

Some templates may display extra information, or you may choose to make the resume more intelligent. For example, LinkedIn doesn't connect your projects to your role/company. See the example [config.yml](https://github.com/mefellows/linkedin2cv/blob/master/spec/mocks/config.yml) file for full details.

## Contributing your own template
