ResumeBuilder

Minimal Python CLI that selects relevant resume content via OpenAI and renders a LaTeX PDF.

Structure

• main.py: Orchestrates selection and rendering
• generate.py: Renders LaTeX and compiles PDF
• latex.txt: LaTeX template with placeholders
• data/jobs.json, data/projects.json: Source content
• data/personal.json: Personal info (name, contact, education) used across all resumes

Install

python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Prepare data

1. Edit data/jobs.json and data/projects.json to include your roles and projects. IDs must be unique.
2. Edit data/personal.json with your name, contact information, and education. This will be used consistently across all generated resumes.

Run

python main.py \
  --output resume.pdf \
  --input job_description.txt \
  --key $OPENAI_API_KEY

Personal info (name, contact, education) is automatically loaded from data/personal.json. You can override with --name, --contact, or --education flags if needed.

The system will use tectonic (if installed) or fall back to pdflatex for PDF generation. If neither is available, a .tex file will be created.

Template placeholders

• %%NAME%%
• %%CONTACT_LINE%%
• %%SKILLS_BLOCKS%%
• %%EXPERIENCE_BLOCKS%%
• %%PROJECT_BLOCKS%%
• %%EDUCATION_BLOCKS%%
