Re: The Overengineered Resume with Zola, JSON Resume, Weasyprint, and Nix (2023)
#52Mine is also automated, but a lot more lightweight. I - like OP - use JSON Resume [1]. Besides that I just have a Github Action which creates a PDF and also updates a web-based version [2] hosted in AWS S3. My favourite thing about this setup is that if I want to make a small change I can just log in to Github and commit a quick edit in the repo [3] through Github's web-based UI A new PDF is generated and the web-bas…
Your CV is a lot closer visually to what I was expecting from the original post. Varied font sizes and use of different regions on the page. Easy to take in at a glance.
Yeah, it looks quite nice.

#53This page is utterly confusing. Is it about a CV? I don't see what is being resumed.

#54I don't know that this is the right way to solve the resume 'problem' - I think LaTeX is a far superior choice, yet the author pretty much dimissed it as a possibility. For me personally, I found LaTeX to be the perfect solution. I have my resume tex setup so I can set toggles to define what gets output. E.g. applying for a manager position, I might keep it brief and more technical. The resume is modular and can be u…
Nix is completely orthogonal to whatever tech you use to build the resume - it's nice as a build tool + to provide dev environments for however you're going to realize your resume.

#55Dropping a link/endorsement for quarto : https://quarto.org/
It's a static site/document generator that supports bibliographies, jupyter notebooks, and good old fashioned markdown. It works well for complex academic resumes and CV's, as well as blogs and library documentation.
I use a template for my website : https://jjd.io/
github repo : https://github.com/jdonaldson/jjd.io
Also, if anyone has any positive/negative comments on my site, let er rip! I'm still working on it.

#56Shameless plug: once you are done building your resume, copy and paste the text into CommandJobs[1] to automatically match your experience with job listings and get a filtered list of the best ones for you

#57And here I'm, writing the resume in markdown using Obsidian, slapping some custom CSS until it looks good and hitting Export to PDF.
Re: The Overengineered Resume with Zola, JSON Resume, Weasyprint, and Nix (2023)
#58Unsolicited advice: If you're going to that trouble, finish the swing. The final product here is BAD. The person reading the resume doesn't know it's automated so no credit points for that, and it looks like a person didn't pay attention to basic detail. This does you no good, it hurts you. Example glitches: The contact row dropping LinkedIn to next line. The ragged bullets hanging to the left of the left margin rela…
