Latex Resume

What the buyer receives

A compiled, one-page A4 PDF resume — resume.pdf — built from the buyer's draft by a real XeLaTeX toolchain, not a mockup. The document is a bilingual Chinese-English technical resume for a backend engineer, typeset with deterministic typography and verified by rendered-artifact inspection before delivery. Every claim in the draft is preserved verbatim; the skill restyles and structures, never rewrites.

Chinese-English parallel layout

Each section carries both languages in a clean parallel structure. The candidate's name appears in Chinese characters with the English name alongside; section headings are set bilingually (e.g. 工作经历 Work Experience, 教育背景 Education, 项目经历 Projects, 技能 Skills). Body content flows in the buyer's source language with the parallel translation set in a complementary weight, so a Chinese hiring manager and an English-speaking interviewer each read the resume naturally without either language feeling like an afterthought. Line breaks, spacing, and alignment are tuned so the two languages share the page harmoniously — no orphaned translations, no ragged columns.

Source Han Serif and Source Han Sans pairing

Typography is the product. Body text is set in Source Han Serif, giving the resume a refined, editorial texture that reads as serious and deliberate, while headings and the candidate's name use Source Han Sans for crisp hierarchical contrast. The pairing is loaded through XeLaTeX's fontspec with the exact weights pinned in the template, so the PDF renders identically on any machine — deterministic typography, no font-substitution surprises. Latin characters, numerals, and punctuation use matching optical sizes so mixed-language lines sit on a uniform baseline.

Aligned dates and role metadata

Employment history is the hardest part of a resume to typeset well, and it shows. Each role entry aligns the date range flush right on the same baseline as the job title, with the company name and location set in a structured metadata line beneath. The template's smart date alignment keeps 2021.06 – 2024.09 and 2023.01 – 至今 (Present) in perfect tabular registration down the page, so a recruiter scanning the right margin sees an unbroken timeline. Stranded-heading prevention guarantees a section heading never sits alone at the bottom of the page while its content flows elsewhere — the layout engine holds headings with the entries that follow them.

Quantified achievements preserved verbatim

The buyer's achievements go in exactly as written. "Reduced p99 API latency from 840ms to 190ms by introducing connection pooling and request coalescing" stays exactly that — numbers, units, and technical terms untouched. The skill is content-preserving by design: it will reflow a bullet across lines, tighten spacing, or rebalance a dense section, but it never paraphrases, never rounds a metric, and never drops a technology keyword. A verification pass diffs the source draft's factual claims against the typeset output so nothing is lost in translation between the draft and the PDF.

PNG page previews for visual sign-off

Because a resume is a visual artifact, the buyer does not have to trust the source — they see the result. The deliverable includes high-resolution PNG renders of every page, generated from the compiled PDF, for immediate visual sign-off. The buyer can zoom into the header, check the date alignment, confirm the Chinese glyphs render correctly, and approve the layout before using the PDF. If anything looks off, the agent iterates on the source and recompiles until the preview is approved.

Full XeLaTeX source for future edits

Alongside the PDF and previews, the buyer receives the complete, commented XeLaTeX source: the main .tex file, the style template, and a build script. Every structural choice is documented in comments, so a future edit — adding a role, reordering sections, switching to a two-page layout — is a small, predictable change rather than a re-typesetting project. The template supports dense one-to-two-page layouts with a single option toggle, and the build is reproducible with any standard XeLaTeX distribution (TeX Live or MacTeX).

What makes this different

Most resume tools generate a PDF from an HTML template and call it done — fragile, unrepeatable, and typographically naive. This skill treats the resume as a compiled document: source-controlled, deterministically typeset, visually verified. The buyer gets a checked PDF plus PNG previews, never just source files, and the confidence that what they send to employers is exactly what they approved.
