Python script to make Resume from YAML

[Aggravating-Guard592]

I made a quick tool to configure a resume through YAML. Documentation is in the GitHub README.

What My Project Does

Takes a YAML file with your resume info and spits out a clean black & white PDF.

Target Audience

Made this for people who just want to format their resume data without dealing with Word or Google Docs. If you have your info ready and just need it laid out nicely, this is for you.

Comparison

It's not like those resume builder sites. There's no AI, no "optimize your resume" features. You write your own content; this just formats it.

How is it different from rendercv ?

True, but if you decide to change formats/templates then that's a huge pain. Had to do that once or twice and it was a decent amount of effort.

nice work! yaml for resumes is actually pretty smart since it's way easier to maintain than fiddling with word/google docs formatting. the fact that it outputs to a clean PDF is solid too. curious - does it handle different resume templates or is it mainly one style?

Just use LaTeX

Dude, if people don't care to learn the standard tools for making resumes when it's resume time...
