Love this. My resume has been in LaTeX for over 20 years now.
Underappreciated IMHO. You can version control it, no dealing with wild Word shenanigans. Totally deterministic. Just find a style, insert your bullets and you have a nice sharable PDF.
Nowadays you can even have your preferred LLM do the conversion for you. LaTeX is finicky and I've had it fix warnings in mine that I couldn't be bothered to.
Good stuff, highly recommend a LaTeX resume, whether or not you drink coffee.
Any particular template you'd recommend? My resume is LaTeX too but I'm not 100% happy with it (about 98% happy and much happier than with anything else however).
I can't find the one I used now. But I just searched "latex resume template" and picked one that I liked. Some good ones at https://www.overleaf.com/gallery/tagged/cv
Totally agree! I'm adding the coffee stains to my resume as we speak.
