Tips for Using LaTeX Commands

• Sectioning: Use \section for major sections like Education, Experience, Certifications, Awards, Skills & Interests, etc.
• Subsectioning: Employ \subsection{} and \subsubsection for primary and secondary titles such as Institution Name, Position Title, Duration, etc.
• Bullet Points: Use itemize lists for creating bullet points.

Known Issue

Package hyperref Warning:

This occurs because hyperref package creates clickable texts for both internal and external links. When generating a PDF, certain elements like bookmarks, metadata, and hyperlinks are encoded as PDF strings. Since \section{}, \subsection{} etc. are used in the Table of contents (i.e. bookmarks), certain LaTeX commands (like \hfill) or control sequences doesn't make sense in this context.

When hyperref encounters the \hfill command while processing a piece of text that needs to be converted into a PDF string, it cannot include this command in the output PDF string. As a result, it removes the command and issues a warning to notify you of this action.

We can circumvents this issue by disabling the creation of bookmarks as shown below.

    \usepackage[bookmarks=false]{hyperref}

Caution

To avoid generating warnings, the bookmarks option in the hyperref package must be set during package loading with \usepackage[bookmarks=false]{hyperref}. You can use \hypersetup{} for everything else.
