friggeri-letter
This is a LaTeX template for a cover letter to go with a resume created with the friggeri-cv resume template.
The letter
All resumes should have a cover letter (so I'm told). It would be inconsistent to stick a normal LaTeX letter infront of a friggeri resume. Also, a normal LaTeX letter is not as eye-catching.
This letter class uses the same eye catching header as the Friggeri CV, and uses the Roboto font.
The resume
I've also modified the original friggeri-cv template:
- The original one used the HelveticaNeue font family, which costs money. I changed it to use the almost identical Roboto font family, which is free. For convinience, I've included the Robot fonts in this repo.
- I adjusted the coloring of the headings in the resume, so the whole heading is coloured, not just the first 3 letters. To install the fonts, just double click on them in a file browser. Your operating system should then ask if you want to install them.
- I tinkered with the spacing of the column where you enter the years, so that new line breaks are automatic.
- I changed the link coloring, so that links are the same colour as everything else
- I got rid of the bibliography stuff, because who needs a bibliography in a resume?
Usage
- Install the fonts.
- Have the
.clsfile(s) in the same folder as your.texfile(s). (There's probably a way to install them properly. I don't know what that is.) - Start with the example
.texfile(s) and modify them to suit your needs.
