A python package to generate multiple formats of a resume

Resume Creator

This project was inspired by this classic Reddit post for the infamous Sheets & Giggles free resume template.

Kudos to Colin at Sheets & Giggles.

This package will generate pdf, md, and txt versions of the supplied data.

Usage

Your best bet is to look at the sample json data below and play with generating the resume formats.

The most glaring issue you are most likely going to run into is overflowing the PDF into another page. This code doesn't check for that, nor does it support multi-page PDFs. You will probably need to play around with your supplied data in order to properly format the PDF.

Once you have created your data, run the package like so:

python -m resume_creator

Installation

1. Clone the repository
2. Create and activate a virtual environment
3. Install poetry: python -m pip install --upgrade pip poetry
4. Install the package: poetry install --no-dev

Sample Data

The sample data below pretty closely matches the data in the original Google Document.
