Multi-Resume Kit
A LaTeX system for maintaining several role-targeted resumes, each in three presentation variants, without the content drifting out of sync between copies.
Same content, three presentations
All three are compiled from the same shared assets under template/assets/.
Only the presentation macros differ.
Physical
Hidden links, a two-column header with QR codes standing in for anything you can't click on paper. Built for printing.

ATS
Plainest variant: no icons, no links rendered visibly, nothing an applicant-tracking parser can trip on.

Shared assets, not copy-paste
education-common.tex, certs.tex, and
experience-bank.tex hold the content that repeats across
every role and variant: the school line, cert links, and any
Experience entries that don't change per role. Every resume file
pulls them in with \input{}. One edit propagates
everywhere instead of needing a find-and-replace across a dozen files.
\newcommand "lengths" don't support arithmetic
\newcommand{\myGap}{11pt} defines a text macro, not a
real length register. \vspace{2\myGap} doesn't multiply;
it string-concatenates the text 11pt after a literal
2, producing the dimension 211pt, nearly 3
inches, instead of the intended 22pt. It compiles
without a single warning. The fix is \newlength plus
\setlength wherever a spacing unit needs to be multiplied
by a variable coefficient.
An auto-clean shell wrapper doesn't apply everywhere
A pdflatex() shell function that deletes
.aux/.log/.out after each run
only loads in an interactive shell. It never sources in CI, in a
Docker build step, or in any tool that spawns a non-interactive
shell, so byproducts pile up silently there. The reliable fix is an
explicit find -delete sweep after every compile.
Page count needs auditing across every variant, not just the one you touched
A shared-asset edit that adds two lines to Education can push an
already-tight resume onto a second page somewhere else entirely.
Sweeping pdfinfo file.pdf | grep Pages across every
variant of every role after any edit catches this before it ships.
Full write-up, including the content-parity rule and the three-variant convention in detail, is in the README.
