LinkedIn 2 CV

Turn your LinkedIn Profile into a professional resume in many formats (PDF / HTML5 / LaTeX / Asciidoc)

Everyone stalks you on LinkedIn and that's where you get opportunities. But apparently you still need to give a resume/CV before you have your next job interview. So, rather than duplicate efforts you can focus on writing it once well, and then producing a resume in whatever format you want!

Oh, and don't bother using the LinkedIn 'Export to PDF' feature - it sucks.

There is a basic web interface that lets you download a no-frills, vanilla resume if you don't want to install the gem and customise the output.

First, install a Tex distribution (MacTex or TexLive) so that you can produce LaTeX documents. Then, simply run the converter:

gem install linkedin2cv
linkedin2cv convert --format latex --options config.yml matt.fellows

The converter should open up a Web Browser and ask you to sign-in to LinkedIn, enabling it to pull down your profile and convert it into a pretty CV.

Some templates may display extra information, or you may choose to make the resume more intelligent. For example, LinkedIn doesn't connect your projects to your role/company. See the example config.yml file for full details.

TODO, sorry!
