Awesome CV is a LaTeX template for creating professional-looking resumes, CVs (Curriculum Vitae), and cover letters. LaTeX is a document preparation system used widely in academia and among professionals who want precise, high-quality typesetting, it produces PDFs that look far more polished than a typical word processor. This template handles the visual design so you just fill in your own content. The template covers three document types: a two-page résumé, a full academic-style CV, and a cover letter (available in a version with sections and without). The layout is clean and modern, using the Roboto and Source Sans Pro fonts, and includes support for Font Awesome icons (small graphical symbols often used for email, phone, and social media links in contact sections). To use it, you download the template files, fill in your details in the .tex source file (a plain text format that LaTeX reads), then compile it with the xelatex command to produce a PDF. If you do not want to install LaTeX locally, the template is also available on Overleaf, a browser-based LaTeX editor where you can edit and download your PDF entirely online without installing anything. A Docker-based workflow is also documented for local use without installing TeX system-wide. You would use Awesome CV if you want a visually impressive, professionally typeset résumé or CV and are comfortable editing a text file, or if you just want to remix the template on Overleaf.
