I am working on a new project this year that I want to use LaTeX for, but it is going to be a lot more complex than a multi-page resume so I want to use something that is a bit more robust.

TeXworks is a very basic and lightweight LaTeX editor in nature that is fast and easy to use. In the past I have just used LaTeX on Windows 10 with the MiKTeX package, using the included TeXworks editor. Office 365 has supported version control for a while now, but I have never been a big fan of it since I find it can create far too many snapshots and it is not always easy to search through everything. The biggest benefit to using LaTeX for my resume is the ability to use version control with Git.

The last time I updated it was in mid-2018, and at that time I had converted my resume from Word to LaTeX.Īt the time I didn’t really have a good reason to use LaTeX for my resume, I just wanted to get a bit of experience using it. 2019 was a very busy year for me and for the first time in almost 10 years I didn’t update it once. Not necessarily because I am looking for a new job, but because I don’t want to forget about certain accomplishments. I try my best to make an effort to update my resume at least 2 or 3 times a year.
