I switched to R Markdown , which wasn’t perfect, but lets me create a document that is pretty close to what my recruiter wants.
With R Markdown, you can a metadata header , the markdown content, and scripts (python ruby etc ) that you can use to create dynamic content.
It uses pandoc , which you can customize with metadata in your document. A key feature is ability to specify a template docx file. You can customer the styles and some of the content of the output document there.
It’s working pretty well for me, though still have do some post-processing work to make the resume look the way I want it to.
e.g. For employment, I put the Company name and dates I worked there on the same line, Company name is left justified, dates worked are right justified. Also different fonts and colors for each.
Ty for the replies. I’m set so I am no longer watching this topic.
