Creating the LaTeX CV Class File

2. Customize the class file to match your desired CV layout. Refer to the comments within the mycv.cls file for guidance on making modifications.

Designing Your CV in Overleaf

2. Create a new project in Overleaf.

3. Upload the mycv.cls file and the cv-template.tex file to your Overleaf project.

Previewing and Generating the CV

1. Use the "Compile" button in Overleaf to generate a PDF preview of your CV. This will help you see how the final document will look.

2. Make adjustments to the content and formatting as needed based on the PDF preview.
