This repo contains my CV and the code used to build it.
I used to rely on online tools to build my CV but was never happy about how much they cost. Recently, I came across the vitae package by Mitchell O'Hara-Wild and decided to give it a try. It's been a fun experience and most importantly you get a fancy-looking CV for free. I share my code here as an example in case anyone is interested in making their own.
Feel free to clone the files and edit them to make your own!
CV.pdf: The final product.CV.rmd: The R Markdown file used to create the PDF.awesome-cv.cls:This LaTeX template is in charge of the overall style of your CV. vitae supports several templates and I liked this one the most. I made small tweaks on the personal info section (font size, color, & spacing) based on the original template. If you prefer the original, delete this file.apa-cv.csl: APA 7th style from the Zotero Style Repository. This file defines your citation style. In my field (Psychology), APA style is the standard. Change it to other citation styles if needed..bibfiles: I have 3.bibfiles that separately store info for publisheded papers, in prep manuscripts, and conference presentations. You can create those.bibfiles from your reference manager (e.g., Zotero) or from scratch. It's important that you create separate.bibfiles for separate sections of your CV.
Make sure to install vitae and tinytex if you haven't done so:
install.packages("tinytex")
tinytex::install_tinytex()
install.packages("vitae")
Happy vitae-ing and wish everyone good luck on the job market!
