And when I say "building your resume" I literally mean creating a build system for a resume with config files, LaTeX and Rake. Why in the name of Knuth would I do such a thing?
- Because it is AWESOME!?!
- Version control! So how old will I be when my resume reaches 1.0?
- Hosting on GitHub means my resume has an RSS feed!
- LaTeX's Inline comments make for fun Easter eggs and color commentary.
- A really keen potential employer could 'watch' my resume via GitHub. Heck they could even fork my resume and add things they would like to see me learn.
- I could add a Rake task to publish my resume somewhere or to email it directly or even to tweet me whenever someone builds my resume.
- Rake task for spellcheck.
- I could have build parameters for adding or hiding certain sections of my resume... for example swapping out the objective at compile time.
- They say "blogs are the new resumes" but I say, "GitHub is the new resume!"
