👔 A collection of simple and easy to use, yet powerful LaTeX templates for CVs and resumes. All of them are self designed and self implemented and not copied from template collections.

Now with support for Chinese, Japanese and Korean character encoding. Setup is only two lines of code! Read more here.

Classic	Modern	Two Columns

Sidebar	Sidebar Left	Row Layout

Infographics	Infographics 2 EN	Infographics 2 FR

Great first impression

Point out with a progressive layout. Give decision makers and HR only the most important information about you on one single page.

Beginner friendly

Pick a template, replace the content, compile, done. If that's not enough you can easily customize colors, fonts and layout. The templates are documented directly in the code.

Minimal environment

You need a minimal tex-live distribution to compile the templates. No XeTeX or LuaTeX required. No other SDKs or environments required.

We now have a Dockerfile you can use to build your latex environment. For this you need to have Docker installed on your system.

Get Docker: https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/

We provide scripts for building the image and running the containers, so you should fine by simply running the build.sh script:

$ .docker/create_image.sh

You should now be able to build CVs simply by providing the folder name:

$ .docker/build.sh classic

Constraints: You need to be in the top-level folder of this project and the image has been created (see prior step).

You can also run a daemon and pass through build commands, suitable if you build many times in sequence:

$ .docker/daemon.sh
$ .docker/dbuild.sh classic
$ .docker/dbuild.sh modern
$ # ... and so on

This has originally been implemented by https://github.com/blang/latex-docker/tree/master

The following guide just briefly describes the requirements and build procedure as there are many ways to install a LaTeX distribution on various OS. Please create an issue, if this part is not helpful.

Build Requirements

You will need some minimal Texlive distrubution (The full texlive distribution is nearly 2GB large but you will need only a part of it). A good starting point is here: https://www.latex-project.org/get/#tex-distributions

If you want to install texlive from tug.org instead, you can use this guide: https://tug.org/texlive/

Users of various Linux distrubutions can also install texlive from their repositories.

This repo also contains a texlive.profile file in the project root, that can be used to install the minimum required texlive packages when manually installing texlive.

Build Procedure

• Clone or download this project.
• Change to a template folder, which contains a main.tex file do
• Edit the main.tex according to your CV credentials, optionally change settings and colors etc.
• Run pdflatex (build/compile)

• The main.pdf should show the output.
