The contents of this repository is how I create my resume using Typst. Its a modern alternative to LaTeX with an intuitive and easy-to-use syntax.
To started with composing your resume using the same tools as I did in this repository, follow these guidelines:
-
Fork the repository and clone it locally to your system.
-
Ensure Typst is installed and accessible (follow the official installation guideline). (Optionally) You will also need Task for ease of compiling the markup code to a PDF document.
-
Run the relevant commands to check whether the compilation step succeeds:
Using Task:
task compileWithout Using Task:
mkdir build typst compile main.typ build/resume.pdf
-
(Additionally), to compile and watch for changes at the same time, you can invoke the following command:
Using Task:
taskWithout Using Task:
mkdir build typst watch main.typ build/resume.pdf
If the aforementioned commands succeeds, you should then see a compiled PDF ready for review. Open it in your preferred PDF reader, review it, make the necessary changes and run the commands once again.
Work on the resume would not have been possible without the help of the following resources (and everyone involved with the mentioned resources):
- The r/EngineeringResumes Resume Template
- The r/developersIndia subreddit for introducing me to Typst.
