Ask HN: Tool to create a CV/resume in 2023

Funny enough I was in this situation a few weeks ago. My old resume was in latex with moderncv and I decided to make the new resume with Creddle after seeing it recommended. Now I'm back to latex with moderncv. Creddle was just too slow and using a markup language is more flexible.

I still use the same LaTeX template since 2018. Before moving to a new company, I always updated my latest work experience.

It didn't use ModernCV. Original source: https://www.rpi.edu/dept/arc/training/latex/resumes/

Probably not what you’re looking for, but MS Word.

It really is one of the fastest and easiest ways to make a good looking CV or resume.

I wrote my resume in just vanilla HTML5 with schema.org markup. The Person item type uses the worksFor property that generates a list of my work experiences while the alumniOf property generates a list of schools that I attended:

Switched from a LaTeX based CV [1] (source [2]) to a Vue based one [3] (source [4]).

My new CV is more maintainable and I can do things that aren't really straightforward with LaTeX (multi page table), but one of the issues is rendering it to PDF. So far the best solution I've found is to use Puppeteer.

In any case I think that the result is pretty cool (https://cv.denv.it), but almost no one accepts "web based CVs" (or at least, they are not that common).

I realized that nobody cares about CV format.

Now I just use: LinkedIn profile -> More -> Build a resume -> Create from profile -> Download as PDF

i am more interested in how to write the resume for maximum impact. like how to list work and achievements what to do if you wore all hats and founded a startup previously etcetc
