%%%%%%%%% gradstudentresume %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%% Written By: Anagha Kumar %%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%% License: The LATEX Project Public Li­cense (lp­pl1.3) %%%%%% %%%%%% Version: 2015/09/19 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %I tried to write a generic resume template for graduate students. Naturally, I tried to make it as flexible as %possible since I cannot possibly come up with every section and subsection imaginable. Regardless, this should %serve as a helpful template for those graduate students writing an academic CV. I have uploaded a generic CV %as a demonstration of how this document class works. %The purpose of this README file is to explain how this document class was constructed so that other authors %can use this as a template to design their own document classes. % The example.tex provides an example of how this document class can be operationalized. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e} \ProvidesClass{gradstudentresume} \LoadClassWithOptions{article} \RequirePackage{anysize} \RequirePackage{hyperref} % it goes left, right, top, bottom \marginsize{0.75in}{0.75in}{0in}{1in} \pagestyle{plain} %I have named this class gradstudentresume. Please save it to the same folder that your .tex file is located in %and then compile. The margins have been set as 0.75 inches for the left margin, 0.75 inches for the right %margin, 0 inches for the top margin, and 1 inch for the bottom margin. Since I think pages on CVs should be numbered, I used the plain page style. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %Next, I defined my own skips. Although LaTeX has smallskip, medskip, and large skip, it is important to have %fine control over your own output. \newcommand{\smallspace}{ \vspace{1mm} } \newcommand{\medspace}{ \vspace{3mm} } \newcommand{\largespace}{ \vspace{5mm} } %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %Further, I defined a new environment called info so that users can write out their contact information at the %beginning of their CVs. \newenvironment{info}[4] {\begin{center} \Large{\sc{#1}} \\ \normalsize \textit{Address}: {#2} \\ \textit{Telephone}: {#3} \\ \textit{Email}: {#4} \end{center}} {\largespace } % The parameters are name, address, telephone number, and email. %I also defined a new environment "wrapped" since I think the gap between bullet points in the itemize %environment is too large. \newenvironment{wrapped} { \begin{itemize} \setlength{\itemsep}{0pt}} { \end{itemize}} I also defined a new section rule command. \newcommand{\sectionrule}{\noindent\hfil\rule{\textwidth}{.6pt}\hfil \vspace{2mm} } %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %Below, I have defined new commands so that users can avoid the cumbersome practice of formatting each line. %Commands have the advantage that they are essentially functions that apply the same formatting in multiple %locations. \newcommand{\undergrad}[5]{\noindent{\textbf{{#1}}} \hfill{#2}\\ \textit{#3} \hfill{#4} \\ Graduation Honors: {#5}} \newcommand{\grad}[6]{\noindent{\textbf{{#1}}} \hfill{#2}\\ \textit{#3} \hfill{#4} \\ Thesis: {#5} \\ Advisor: {#6}} \newcommand{\sectionheading}[1]{\noindent{\large{\sc{#1}}} \\ \sectionrule} \newcommand{\subsectionheading}[1]{\noindent {\sc{#1}} \smallspace } \newcommand{\reference}[7]{\textbf{#1} \\ {#2} \hfill{Telephone: {#3}} \\ {#4} \hfill{Email: {#5}} \\ {#6} \\ {#7}} % The parameters are name, title, telephone number, department, email, school, and address line 2. \newcommand{\paper}[7] {{#1} ({#2}). {#3}. \textit{#4, #5} ({#6}), {#7}.} % 1 is authors, 2 is year, 3 is title, 4 is journal, 5 is volume, 6 is number, 7 is pages. This is useful since you don't need to type in \textit{} etc. repeatedly when typing up your resume. Grad students with many publications will especially appreciate this feature. \newcommand{\myname}{\textbf{Kumar, A.}} % so that you don't have to keep typing in \textbf{your name} for every paper you cite. \newcommand{\presentation}[4]{{#1} \hfill{#2} \\ \textit{#3} \hfill{#4}} % 1 is the section of the conference, 2 is the date, 3 is the conference name or school name 4 is the location %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %Below are two numbered environments. Again, defining new environments helps with formatting since users do not %need to keep repeatedly formatting items in the same manner. Notice that commands defined previously can be %used as arguments to in a new environment. \newenvironment{pres}[1] { \textbf{#1} % name of the presentation \begin{wrapped}} {% use the presentation command as the argument \end{wrapped} \smallspace } \newenvironment{desc}[3] { \noindent\textbf{#1} \hfill{#2}\\ \textit{#3} \begin{wrapped}} { \end{wrapped} \medspace }
