I use a pure ASCII txt. You can make dividers by repeating a character like '#', but i don't really use such eye-candy.

Re: Ask HN: Resumes that look good but professional too
#62I used to work for a resume building startup and I still think their product is one of the best in the market :) But what I liked about it was the focus on real world successful examples and inline tips that were actually useful - https://enhancv.com
I’m a dev myself, but I liked to chat with some customers and some had amazing stories like “landed a job at spotify thanks to your resume” or “wanted to drop several k dollars on a consultant, but liked this tool so much I just used it instead”. Great stuff :) And as a testiment to them I used the resume I built with the tool to find my next job :-D

#63Latex with careful tuning of line spacing, column width, etc.
I don't like resumes that are too slick looking. It makes me feel like the applicant is trying to hide something.
On other hand, a truly ugly resume hurts the applicant. There's a sweet spot in the middle.

#64Many people have asked about mine and given it compliments, so here it is. It is a responsive website with some printing styles and a link to the pdf (which is just a "print to file" of itself). Consider code/style as MIT/CC0: https://francisco.io/resume/
FYI -occasional has two c's.
Thanks! It doesn't have it in Spanish: "ocasional". Should have checked better.

#65Earlier quoted context omitted.
Did that layout work before you were in Apple?
I didn't have the exact same layout but it had a similar feel and it was quite successful. The people at Apple as a whole appreciated the unusual resume design more so than any other place I have applied. It started as something I used as a freshman in college to grab their attention and plead my case before the recruiter realized my age (I also took my graduation date off resumes given in person). I had mixed result…
OK, thanks! I just wanted to know if it was the design or the big name on resume ;-)
I also "decorate" my CV with e.g. different alphabets of languages I speak and some headhunters told me it's perfect. No issues getting interviews at top companies, smaller ones hesitate more often.

#66Definitely recommend LaTeX: - Templates: https://www.rpi.edu/dept/arc/training/latex/resumes/ - For generating the resume, and minor custimizations: https://www.sharelatex.com/ - For generating the resume, and advanced customization: http://pages.uoregon.edu/koch/texshop/
I've used latex but now I realize html/css might do the job better for me...
I’ve adapted mine from from someone else doing this. Although I’m not front-end savvy I’ve found it easy to develop, live reload helps. Prints to PDF with a nice readable style sheet.

#68Here is my resume: https://standardresume.co/rileyt It's built using Standard Resume [1], a tool that I built with two designers to answer exactly this question. I would love any feedback on the resume style, as we are contemplating adding a few alternate styles to choose from. [1] https://standardresume.co/
This is a great tool!
I noted, though, that the Linkedin import didn't seem to work flawlessly – after uploading, I was redirected to the resume list and I have no clue of what actually happened.
Would you like more feedback?

#69I designed a resume many moons ago in ruby and it was super unconventional https://github.com/metacritical/mycv/blob/master/Myresume.pd...
It got me interview at hacker friendly unconventional companies while most Enterprisy or non hacker friendly companies rejected it , some complained they dont want to compile the ruby code to get the resume. Two companies where i applied one was C42.in and other ThoughtWorks were among the only two companies which actually compiled the code. and then gave a call back.

#70Serious question: what do you think about including magic the gathering PTs and Worlds participations as a teenager in the CV? Given that it is for a programming role maybe people in the US would see that as a sort of acomplishment?
I come from a non english speaking country so my university and companies where I've worked are largely unknown (and I'd like to apply for remote jobs in the US or EU)
