example

How it works

Write your résumé in edn, and cljcv will produce a nicely formatted document for you.

You can then create variants that extend from your defaults to add cover letters or make other adjustments for each company you apply to.

Installation

Arch Linux users can install the cljcv-git package from AUR.

On other platforms, you can download the latest release, and then add an executable wrapper script to your $PATH, like this:

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/java -jar '/path/to/cljcv-$VERSION-standalone.jar' "$@"

Usage

demo

First, create a new project skeleton.

$ mkdir ~/cv
$ cd ~/cv
$ cljcv init

The file data/default.clj is your default CV.

If you run cljcv watch while you're editing, your documents will be rebuilt each time you save. Some PDF readers will reload automatically when a file changes, allowing you to preview your work. Specifically I recommend Evince.

The file data/variant.clj is an example of how to extend default.clj by adding a cover letter. You may safely delete or rename it if, or create more.

You should also add your own avatar, signature, company logos, and skill icon images to the resources directory, overwriting the placeholders that you find there.

When you're finished, run cljcv build.
