• yue_resume.tex - this is my old resume (out of date), which you can modify
• yue_resume.pdf - the resume in pdf form

This is a fairly simple template to create a resume in LaTeX. It uses a LaTeX style written by Michael DeCorte (mrd@sun.soe.clarkson.edu) that I've modified slightly. If you're fairly familiar with LaTeX or programming in general, you probably don't need to read the rest of this and just go from using my TeX file as an example. Keep in mind that res_yy.sty must be in the path somewhere.

This is not intended to be a tutorial on LaTeX. You can find plenty of good ones on the internet. For those using Windows and looking for a good LaTex package, I recommend MikTeX.

NOTE - This template is provided "as is" and is no longer actively maintained. Systems using newer versions of LaTeX might have some compatibility issues with this template.

• \documentstyle[...]{res_yy} - make sure to reference res_yy in the document style
• \name{your name} - this places your name on the top left of your resume
• \address{...} - places any contact information, right aligned, below your name
• \section{name} - the body of the resume is broken up into a table with two columns, with the left column being section names. This command creates a new row and fills the left column.
• \begin{formatb}...\end{formatb} - this defines the job description format. For example, I use the following configuration:
  
  
  \begin{formatb}
     \employer{l} \title{r} \\
     \location{l} \dates{r} \\
     \body \\
  \end{formatb}
  
  You can use any combination of employer, title, location, and dates fields in your format. The 'r' and 'l' values specify the alignment of the text, and '\\' means new line. Each format then concludes with a \body for any details and comments.
  
  The above code just defines the format, to use it to create content, you have to populate the various fields you used to define the format. For example:
  
  \employer{ The Evil Empire }
  \title{ Ultimate Slacker }
  \location{ Middle of nowhere}
  \dates{ Since I was born - Present }
  \begin{position}
  Took Uncle Bill's money and ate lots of gross pizza.
  \end{position}
  
  
  The above code fills the employer, title, location and dates fields, which will be formatted according to how the format was defined. \being{position} populates the content in the body field. The resulting output will look like:
  
  
  

  The Evil Empire	Ultimate Slacker
  Middle of nowhere	Since I was born - Present
  Took Uncle Bill's money and ate lots of gross pizza.

  
  NOTE - you can use this formatting for anything, not just job descriptions. For example, I'm using the same formatting for my project descriptions.
