Deedy's resume looks beautiful, but the two-column approach feels outdated. So this is template is my attempt to combine the things I love about each template. Also, I wanted to make it easy to customize the look of the resume. So, I set it up so you can download fonts from [google fonts](https://fonts.google.com/) and quickly give your resume a new look. - -## Preview :eyes: - -![Preview](https://i.imgur.com/92v0sxg.png) - -## Quick Start :rocket: - -You can build it locally on your machine with `xelatex` or open the project in overleaf. I recommend the latter. - -### Steps to open in Overleaf - -[Overleaf template](https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/modern-deedy/cxtjgrmpsrvh) - -If the template gives you an error after opening. Then you will need to change the compiler. - -![Change Compiler](https://i.imgur.com/ypHmlbX.gif) - -Step 1 - -![Press Recompile](https://i.imgur.com/OPJ3DPp.gif) - -Step 2 - -## API details :gear: - -If you want to change the font just download the fonts and move the unzipped folder to the fonts folder. Then go to local-font.sty and change the font name and folder at the top folder. You can crtl+f `\newcommand{\fontFolder}` to find it faster. - -## Resume Tips :books: - -No resume template can turn into a resume with bad content into a good resume. So, here are some tips and resources to get you started. And, remember a good resume can only get you past the resume screen. So, you still need to learn to do well on the OA and interviews. - -1. Do shit, so you have things to put on your resume. - - Build projects (take classes with big projects) - - Learn multiple languages - - Contribute to open source - - Network - - Read [CTCI](https://www.amazon.ca/Cracking-Coding-Interview-Programming-Questions/dp/0984782850) for more tips. - -2. Learn how to write good bullet points. - - Try to turn your points into achievements. Think about your impact. [Guide](https://2by22.blog/overhaul-resume-highly-effective-tips/) - - Quantify where you can, but estimates are fine but avoid making up numbers - - Target your resume, make a giant resume that spans multiple pages, filled with all your accomplishment. Then comment out the bullet points, projects and/or experiences you won't use on your "main" resume. Then when you apply to a position, you can quickly adjust your resume to be more targeted. The 2-5 minutes this will take is well-spent. - - Avoid jargon - - Don't have any grammatical or spelling errors. I recommend using services like [Grammarly](https://www.grammarly.com/), [Hemingway editor](https://hemingwayapp.com/), [ProWritingAid](https://prowritingaid.com/) - -3. Stop optimizing for the ATS - - The truth about the ATS - - The ATS doesn't reject you, people do. Automated rejections are caused by knockout questions e.g. are u authorized to work in the US - - Ex-google re recruiter Amy Miller - looked at them by the date the application was submitted - so the advice here would be to apply quickly after job openings are posted ... - - Some recruiters rank by how well a candidate's resume matches the job description but this isn't common - - Actual resume prioritization goes more like this - referral -> locals -> no visa -> countries easy to get visa for -> everyone else - - Some companies have a minimum job description/resume match criteria - e.g. Taleo supports this but again this tends to be more of an exception than a rule - - Why ATS optimization feels like it helps - - Let's say a job gets filled - so you are no longer in the queue- your resume is still in the applicant tracking system - - Recruiters can search for keywords in the ATS - e.g ("Software Developer" AND ("Java" OR "C++" OR "Python") AND "Algorithm\*") - - A lot of recruiters tend to look at the job description before creating their search - better matches means you are more likely to hit up by recruiters during this search process -SO TAILORING UR RESUME STILL HELPS - - Note: not all recruiters are technically inclined. For example, they might not know something like C# and Java are hella similar. Some recruiters might legit just crtl+f keywords. - - but if ur resume seems too ATS optimized (e.g. keyword stuffing) a lot of recruiters will just toss ur resume - - References: - - An HR worker describes how they use the ATS: [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/jobs/comments/cmezx2/ats_myths_and_facts_why_you_were_really_rejected/) - - Ex-google recruiter explaining the ATS: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5K2F--rNe4&feature=youtu.be) - -- Where I got most of my info - - [The Tech Resume](https://thetechresume.com/) - - [The Google Resume](https://www.amazon.ca/Google-R%C3%A9sum%C3%A9-Prepare-Microsoft-Company/dp/151138459X) +Forked from [Abdullah Arif's "Modern Deedy"](https://github.com/Aarif123456/modern-deedy/tree/07c724f66d73d2b5488a312a30beed6b671e23bf).
