emleddin / CV

A copy of my curriculum vitae that is displayed online.

CV

A version of my CV for GitHub. It has been adapted from the template created by Sourabh Bajaj.

Notable differences include the addition of the fontawesome5 package, and introduction of new commands for specific types of information. The array package is also used for more complex table formatting.

I also have a repository of LaTeX templates.

Using as a Template

For a quick start, use Overleaf. Upload the .tex file to a new project and modify it for yourself. Overleaf is recommended for beginners, or those who want their CV to be editable from anywhere.

Visit the LaTeX Project website if you want to create a local LaTeX installation.

Fonts

I've used a few different fonts in the past few years. The LaTeX Font Catalogue is particularly helpful for identifying fonts.

Serif Fonts

If you do not specify a font, it'll use Computer Modern.

• Charter

\usepackage{charter}
\usepackage[charter]{mathdesign} %% For math

• Garamond

\usepackage{ebgaramond-maths}

• Roboto Slab (no italics)

\usepackage[rm]{roboto}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

• Times

\usepackage{newtxtext,newtxmath}

Sans Serif Fonts

Load sansmathfonts before one of these packages if you use mathematical symbols or Greek letters. Also be sure to change the default font family to Sans Serif with:

\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}

If you change the family default but do not provide a font package, the font will be Computer Modern Sans Serif.

• Helvetica

\usepackage[scaled=0.94]{helvet}

• Source Sans Pro

\usepackage{sourcesanspro}

• Open Sans

\usepackage[default,scale=0.92]{opensans}

Other Packages of Interest

If you compile with lualatex or xelatex, the academicicons package may be of interest to you. I use pdflatex, and fontawesome5 had the icons I wanted the most.
