I’ve never written a LaTeX doc but it looks clean af and I’m interesting in rewriting my resume in it. Or is it ok to simply convert a Word doc to a PDF. Does anybody really care about the aesthetics of a resume?
Word/GDocs and convert to PDF. In 2-3 years when you come back to it and haven't touched LaTeX for that whole time it will be a lot easier to update.
LaTeX is archiac, use teTeX instead
Hand written is always better, use a fountain pen and learn calligraphy.
Pleb, use a feather pen, wax seal it and send it by pidgeon.
Use a theme and Overleaf. Its simple.
I feel like resume is easier to format with LaTeX cuz there’s tons of templates and you don’t have to learn Word. But some Google HR once told me that their internal system wouldn’t parse TeX-generated PDFs correctly (Gayle M./CTCI said similar).
As an interviewer, I don’t care if it’s in Comic Sans or in PostScript or is a scanned PDF, I just have to read it to understand what skills do you have... it’s a one time thing
Write in whatever you want and save as PDF. Unless you are UX designer or a writer nobody cares how it looks.
I had a coworker who wrote work documents in postscript...
