Resume in python (using reportlab) License: MIT

This is an attempt to create an ATS friendly resume in python. I'm intending to maintain and enhance it as per my needs, or in case I get any feedback from the community. I'm trying to keep the code simple and easy to comprehend, and separating the data from the PDF generation logic. All the data that needs to be put in the resume is present in the data.json file

Steps to run

  • Make sure you have python version 3 installed
  • Clone this repository
  • Create a virtual environment by running the command python3 -m venv env
  • Activate the virtual environment by running the activate script for your respective operating system
  • Install all the required libraries by running pip install -r requirements.txt
  • Create a config.ini file as follows:
[global]
debug = false
author = <Your name>
email = <Your email>
address = <Your address>
phone = <Your phone number>

This will set the debug configuration as false, which will generate the resume without any grid lines. If debug is set to true it will generate the resume with gridlines

  • Navigate inside the src directory by running cd src/
  • Run the main.py file by executing the command python3 main.py. This will generate a resume in PDF format with the name output.pdf in the current directory
  • To customize the information in resume, just modify the data.json file with your required information
  • Personal information would be picked up from the config.ini file that is present in the project root
