Go Resume

Go Resume is a resume tailoring tool with super powers 🚀

Building 🛠

Dependencies

• Go
• NodeJS
• Latex

Installation Steps

1. Clone the repo with git clone

git clone --recursive https://github.com/penguingovernor/go-resume.git

2. Build the commands with go build

# Builds the resume-start binary
go build ./cmd/resume-start
# Builds the resume-tailor binary
go build ./cmd/resume-tailor

Usage 📚

1. Start the resumake GUI with resume-start

# This will build and the resumake GUI on localhost:3000
./resume-start

2. Build your base resume on the GUI and downloads your resume.json.

3. Optionally, stop resume-start.

4. If resume-start was killed, it can now be re-ran with ./resume-start -skip-build -no-client, this will start instantly.

5. Make a file called skills.yaml that is based on a job description.

Example:

- name: Programming Languages
  keywords:
    - Go
    - Python
    - Java
    - C
    - C++

- name: Spoken Languages
  keywords:
    - English (Native)
    - Spanish (Native)
    - French (Conversational)

7. Build your resume with resume tailor

# This assumes that your files are called resume.json and skills.yaml
./resume-tailor > resume.pdf

On subsequent runs do steps 4,5, and 7.
