I'm a complete newbie to lyx. I've heard good things about
it, and I'm growing increasingly frustrated with MS Word,
esp. when trying to manipulate my resume.
I have a few things I'd like to try, but I'm wondering if
they are possible, or are the best way to go about this.
Basically, I want to put my resume into the most flexible
format possible, with little to no teeth-gnashing to
manipulate it when I need to.
I was thinking of doing this:
1. Converting from MS Word to Lyx. It looks like there is
at least one project (wv toolkit) that will let me do this.
2. Make the changes I want in Lyx, save, and then...
3. Well, I'm not sure what to do here. Most HR staff don't
understand what I do as a living, much less understand
anything beyond the realm of M$ Office. I've even heard of
HR people having trouble opening an HTML resume a friend of
mine sent them. I still would like to try exporting to XML/HTML,
if possible, but it would still really be great to be able
to kick out the ol' Word format for the people who cling to
it. Is this at all possible? What about filters for other
formats like PDF?
Maybe I'm not on track at all here. What do most of you
people do to maintain your resume? Are you using Lyx? Or
is it not a good fit at all?
