Worklogs

Worklogs is a minimalist résumé and template in LaTeX with focus in work experience. The template is accompanied by a cover letter template in the same style, which can be used optionally.

plot

Usage

This project was built upon pdfLaTeX and I strongly recommend you to use Overleaf to edit and compile it. If you want to run it locally, the commands below should work.

git clone [email protected]:lopes/worklogs.git
cd worklogs
pdflatex main.tex

Customization

I've built some features to allow anyone to easily fit the template to their needs. This template uses the fontawesome package, allowing you to add fancy icons with commands like \faIconName.

Colors

Worklogs uses three base colors and you can configure them by changing the hexadecimal codes in:

\definecolor{base}{HTML}{545454}
\definecolor{light}{HTML}{808080}
\definecolor{accent}{HTML}{008744}

Header and Sections

The header is built with the \header command and it takes one parameter per information shown: Name, location, phone number, e-mail address, LinkedIn handler, and personal domain. Example:

\header
 {Joe Logs}
 {Orlando metropolitan area, Florida}
 {+1 2223334444}
 {[email protected]}
 {jlopesjr}
 {lopes.id}

New sections can be added with the \section command that takes one parameter for the section name.

Organizations, Roles and Highlights

Your work experience will be grouped by the organizations you was part of, the roles you assumed, and the highlights for each of them. Here's a brief description of them:

  • \organization: Name, your contract's location, start date, end date, description (brief description of the organization, optional for well-known companies).
  • \role: Name, start date, end date.
  • \highlight: Description of the highlight, must be placed inside the highlights environment.

Example:

\organization
 {Acme}
 {US, Remote}
 {May 2022}
 {Present}
 {Acme (acme.lopes.id) is a rapidly growing Infosec company, ensuring data ...}
\role{Threat Detection Analyst}{July 2023}{Present}
\begin{highlights}
 \highlight{Demonstrated improved incident response capabilities as measured by a 25\% ...}
 \highlight{Achieved compliance with industry standards as measured by passing two ...}
\end{highlights}
\role{Incident Response Analyst}{June 2022}{July 2023}
\begin{highlights}
 \highlight{Enhanced cybersecurity resilience as measured by a 30\% reduction ...}
 \highlight{Successfully mitigated data breach risks as measured by a 40\% ...}
\end{highlights}

Education

The \education command takes 4 parameters: Course name, start date, end date, and institution.

\education
 {Bachelor of Computer Science}
 {2015}
 {2019}
 {Acme University}

Skills

The \skills command creates a new environment for you to add skills with the \skill command, which takes two parameters: The group name and the skills list. Example:

\begin{skills}
\skill
 {Languages}
 {English (work), Portuguese (native)}
\skill
 {Soft}
 {Communication, collaboration, adaptability, time management, leadership}
\end{skills}

Cover Letter

The cover letter template follows the same style from the résumé: Minimalist, same font face (Helvetica), and same color palette. This template has three major blocks: Sender, letter header, and signature.

The sender section is placed in the left column and is built with the \sender command, which receives the sender's Name, position, address, phone number, and email address. Example:

\sender
 {Joe Logs}
 {Threat Detection\\Analyst}
 {Orlando, FL\\US}
 {+1 2223334444}
 {[email protected]}

The letter header is built with the \letterheader gets more parameters, related to the date and receipt basically: Date, receipt's name, receipt's organization, receipt's address, and salutation. Example:

\letterhead
 {23 December 2023}
 {Dennis Ritchie}
 {Bell Laboratories}
 {600 Mountain Avenue\\Murray Hill, NJ 07974-0636}
 {Mr. Ritchie}

Finally, the signature section is built with the \signature command that gets two parameters, being the first optional: valediction (if omitted, the word sincerely will be used) and the sender's name. An example is: \signature{}{Joe Logs}.
