What do you guys use to build your CVs? Do you automate it in any way or just use something like Google Docs? I'd be interested to know.

Personally I've been using rendercv for a while and I can't imagine going back to doing it manually. However, I think I might need some more flexibility. Been struggling to get any interviews so I've been doing what I can to experiment with my CV. If any of you have a good typst template they've actually used to land a role I would love to steal borrow it.

Page on my personal site, with good print styles so I can print to pdf if needed.

    Oh interesting - mind sharing or too personal?

    Eh, I try to keep this username separate from my real name. It’s not too hard though, you just need ‘@media print {‘. Set display none on stuff like the navbar and footer, and you also need to think about page breaks and such, there are guides.

    Browser dev tools can simulate print styles, and you can preview with the regular print preview. To get consistency across browsers you probably want to set a definite width, so the sizing stays the same.
