An HTML template for creating Software Engineer (SWE) resumes. Styled to be saved as a PDF. Designed with Application Tracking Systems (ATS) in mind.
When I last needed to update my resume I decided to move it from a Microsoft Word document into an HTML file. Some developers hate HTML and probably loathe this idea, but I have found it a pleasant experience.
Things I have enjoyed so far:
- Storing my resume in source control and being able to easily see changes.
- Using branches to hold different versions of my resume crafted for applying to different companies.
- Modifying the resume in my favorite IDE where I feel most at home.
- Extra: You could also easily host your resume via GitHub Pages if you felt so inclined.
