Deedy-Resume

A one-page, two asymmetric column resume template in XeTeX that caters particularly to an undergraduate Computer Science student. As of v1.2, there is an option to choose from two templates:

1. MacFonts - uses fonts native to OSX - Helvetica, Helvetica Neue (and it's Light and Ultralight versions) and the CJK fonts Heiti SC, and Heiti TC. The EULA of these fonts prevents distribution on Open Source.
2. OpenFonts - uses free, open-source fonts that resemble the above - Lato (and its various variants) and Raleway.

It is licensed under the Apache License 2.0.

Motivation

Common LaTeX resume-builders such as moderncv and the friggeri-cv look great if you're looking for a multi-page resume with numerous citations, but usually imperfect for making a thorough, single-page one. A lot of companies today search resumes based on keywords but at the same time require/prefer a one-page resume, especially for undergraduates.

This template attempts to look clean, highlight details, be a single page, and allow useful LaTeX templating.

deedy-resume's Issues

Fontawesome

In my fork, I've added support for fontawesome icons. Would there be any interest in a pull request for that? Only works when XeTex compiling on OSX as far as I know.

Enable colored links

Is there a way to enable colors in for the hyperlinks within the body?

Last Updated on Alignment not working on ShareLatex

The text if getting cut by the right boundary in sharelatex

Suggestion on design

I used this template and while making my CV, I felt it would be a cleaner design if we could separate the two columns with a single vline, with width, say, 0.4 pts. Can that be included anywhere?

.

Is it ATS compliant?

Fix alignment of employer and position

Right now, the alignment of employers and positions is a little off. There's an extra space before the "|".

By changing

\newcommand{\runsubsection}[1]{\color{subheadings}
\fontspec{Helvetica}\fontsize{12pt}{12pt}\selectfont\bfseries\uppercase {#1} \normalfont}

to

\newcommand{\runsubsection}[1]{\color{subheadings}
\fontspec{Helvetica}\fontsize{12pt}{12pt}\selectfont\bfseries\uppercase {#1}\normalfont}

(removing the space after #1), the extra space goes away.

Before, with underscores for spaces:
EMPLOYER__|_Position
After:
EMPLOYER_|_Position

\sectionspace e \begin{tightitemize} undefined control sequence

I get the following errors:

• Undefined control sequence. [\sectionspace]
• LaTeX Error: Environment tightitemize undefined. [\begin{tightitemize}]

Also, when I try to redefine the tightitemize environment into the document, I get an "already defined environment".

Please advice.
Thank you

How to specify the vertical limit in the document.?

How to specify the vertical limit so that the column contents can be modified accordingly.

Date gets cut off

Looks the date gets cut of for longer months:

I've got it commented out, but if you care to look at what's going on, you can clone the repo I use to host my resume: http://github.com/Z1MM32M4N/resume/

I'm thinking that something like \flushright{} might solve the problem?

Love to hear what you have to say.

I do not know why I am not able to compile it, even though I have the fonts.

textbf not working in conjunction with this

I tried using this template in both overleaf and shareLaTeX.
\textbf{ sample text } doesn't seem to work. Anything that I might be missing on?

Wrong accents with scshape

Hi,

It seems there is an issue with small caps in \descript{}: some letters with accents are turned to lowercase instead.

Here is an example with:

\descript{Aeéeèuùaà}

I don't think it's directly related with Relaway font, since it supports small caps with accents. Maybe it's more an issue with selectfont?

Thanks,
Kind regards,

Publications: overlap between section name and body

I'm using the OpenFonts template on Windows with TeXworks for compilation. There's a problem with the "Publications" section --- the body and the section name are overlapping.

A better fix seems to be using this:
\renewcommand\refname{PUBLICATIONS}
instead of the current code, which is
\section{Publications}
\renewcommand\refname{\vskip -1.5cm} % Couldn't get this working from the .cls file

Adding page numbers

I added more pages to the CV, but I cannot add page numbers to it. I called for \pagestyle{fancy} \fancyhf{} \pagenumbering{arabic} packages, but they don't seem to work.

(Light) math font fitting to the default text fonts

I wondered which math font to use in connection to the default fonts for Deedy (Lato and Raleway). The text fonts are very light, which cause the combination to look rather "weird":

I tried to make the fonts lighter (with limited success) or find another well fitting font, see eg:

How do I get a light math font?
Suggest a “nice” font family for my basic LaTeX template (text and math)
See also this font cataloge with math support

After some struggles, I was rather happy with following solution:

• the light front from kpfonts
• still they were too "thick", so I made them almost grey
• use the no-math option for fontspec, such that it doesn't change the math fonts

% Set main fonts
\usepackage[light]{kpfonts}
% \usepackage{lmodern}
\everymath{\color{black!50}}

\usepackage[no-math]{fontspec}

which results in the following:

(Note that I on purpose highlighted my name, F. Zeiser, but that's another issue. The math fonts don't disturb the eye any longer)

Cover Letters

Does anyone know of any templates that are stylistically similar to Deedy?

Extending to two Pages

Hi,
How can I enable the format to extend into two pages, without first one being blank?
Thanks

Undefined control sequence

Hi!
I try to compile with TeXworks on windows using XeLaTeX and I get this error:

\setsansfont[Scale=MatchLowercase,Mapping=tex-text, Path = fonts/raleway/]{Raleway-ExtraLight}

any idea?

Include profile picture

Thanks for this template. It almost completely meets my requirements. As I am from Germany I would like to add a profile picture in the CV. Any clue, how to solve that problem?

Thanks in advance for an answer.

Yours,
Magnus

Color for hyperlink

I tried to add hyperlink under a section of the CV, which did not get any color. I added hypersetup package and specified the colors. But it added color to the namesection only and not to the other sections.

adapting to 2 pages?

Right now without any special formatting, any overflow onto a second page is poorly formatted. A version of this which allows experience to take up the full column on the first page and awards, leadership, etc to fully occupy the second would keep the clean style and continue to emphasize work experience.

Have you thought about adapting this to look good on 2 pages?

Text is not justified

I am curious as to why the text in this resume is not justified even though LaTeX justifies text by default. Any thoughts @deedy?

Improper rendering by (supposed) Applicant Tracking System (ATS)

I uploaded to Jobscan, a site that purports to mimic how an Applicant Tracking System processes resumes before a person sees them. Roughly, an ATS will extract the text from the resume and keep it (or not) based on how many key words in the resume match those in the job description. E.g., if the job description says "Beautiful LaTeX documents" 3 times, and the resume doesn't have the phrase once, it might get tossed out.

What I noticed is that some words get mushed together, and so the above becomes BeautifulLatexdocuments, which obviously doesn't count as a match.

Apparently one solution involves using replacement text with the accsupp package, but that's about as far as I've gotten. Would there be a way to use that package and fix the entire document in one go, or would I have to go section by section?

removing hanging indent in tightitemize

I want the bullet points for each position to line up with the position title and employer. I have modified the \tightitemize command as follows:

\newenvironment{tightitemize} % Defines the tightitemize environment which modifies the itemize environment to be more compact {\vspace{-\topsep}\begin{itemize} \leftmargin-25pt \itemsep0pt \parskip0pt \parsep0pt \itemindent-20pt \labelsep1pt \parindent0pt } {\end{itemize}\vspace{-\topsep}}

However, it seems that this is causing a hanging indent: ie. I want the second line of each bullet point to line up vertically with the first word in the first line, if not the bullet.

I have tried playing around with the values, and parameters, to no avail. I would appreciate any and all help.
Thank you in advance.

Serbian accented c

Hello, thank you for your work. It is awesome! Is there a way to write č this character? I could not did it. When I try writing \v{c} it gives a question mark in the place of the character.

Thank you for your work.

Hyperlink is not working

Update Overleaf

Under "Availability" in the README.md, the Overleaf link links to a source template that is Version 1.1 (30/4/2014). I think this link should be updated to Version 1.2.

Large Institution names

I did my undergrad at the Rochester Institute of Technology. The template puts the name on 2 lines, which is fine, but does so with atrocious spacing, as it spaces out the first three words to occupy the same space as University of Pittsburgh (my grad school). The end result looks horrible, no matter what I do.

Column 2 Causes Overflow When Aligned at Same Depth as Column 1

When column 2 and column 1 are the same length (or so they appear, perhaps there is a very small length difference causing this), column 2 causes overflow to the next page, while column 1 does not.

Basically, I am able to have 1 additional line on column 1 than I am on column 2. I would like to adjust it so this last line is allowed in column 2 as well.

Should I install MacTex?

A smart way to include the bibliography

I spend some time to include a list of articles in a smart way. There are several solutions available, see eg. rgeirhos /
academic-cv-publications and How to use BibTeX for putting a nice publication list in resume with document class (res.cls), but they did not fulfill my demands:

• automatic formatting according to a provided style
• read literature from bibtex file
• highlighting (mentioning) some works, whilst the rest should be printed as a list (not repeating the works already highlighted)
• visual highlight (here: bold -- maybe underscore would have been nicer) of my name in all publications

I hacked together a solution using biblatex. It's really not beautiful, but worked very well. Any better suggestions are of course welcome, but I thought I can share my insights.

It looks like this, where [1] to [6] are described in some more detail, and "minor contribution" is the full list of other works and continues for two more pages)

The bibtex setup I used:

\usepackage[backend=bibtex8,
		style=numeric,
		maxbibnames=99,
		maxcitenames=99,
    natbib=true,
    url=false,
    doi=true,
    eprint=true,
    sorting=ydnt,
    defernumbers=true
    ]{biblatex}
\urlstyle{same}
\addbibresource{publications.bib}

For highlighting (mentioning) some works, whilst the rest should be printed as a list (not repeating the works already highlighted)

Modifying Colors

Is there any way of modification of colors ?
Since in some areas it kind of gets faded out

Whitespace between words is removed when exporting to PDF

Viewing the PDF at first glance looks fine (words appear to have space between them).

[Screenshot of pdf output]

When copy/pasting the text, however, this happens.
Performednetwork,web,andoffensivepenetrationtestingforclientcompanies

Upon closer inspection, there actually aren't any space characters - words just have padding between them. Many companies scan in resumes, which results in them seeing this space-less version.

Suggestion on typography

I did a spin on your design to simplify the topography and alignment.

See if you like it :)

I am not able to install or use the fonts on ubuntu 16.04 can anyone assist?

I have tried putting the files in:
~/.fonts/
/usr/local/share/fonts
'/usr/share/fonts/truetype'

I have refreshed the fc-cache.

and fc-list|grep returns the files

but fontspec and kpathea can't find them?

No way to italicize

\emph and \textit do nothing within any part of the template, and I haven't been able to figure out why.
