LaTeX resume: rewrite your resume summary

Tailor the short summary at the top for each application. This works on the PDF LaTeX exported. Small fixes to bullets, dates and links can be made in the PDF with kerning kept. Large rewrites are cleaner in the source.

How LaTeX writes resume PDFs

  • • pdfTeX embeds Type1 fonts such as Computer Modern or Latin Modern.
  • • Kerning and ligatures are written into each line.
  • • Resume classes draw rules and align dates with precise spacing.

What happens to the rest of your resume

  • • Pasted text takes the summary's own font and size.
  • • Shorter text pulls the sections below up; longer text pushes them down.

Questions people ask

+How long should a summary be?

Two to four lines is typical. The editor shows the wrap as you type.

+Is it better to edit in LaTeX?

If you still have the LaTeX version and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already sent, editing the PDF is faster.
