Builds a resume from your LinkedIn profile using JasperSofts tools

The GitHub page and the Website page

ResumeBuilder Builds a resume from your LinkedIn profile using LinkedIn’s API and JasperSoft’s Business Intelligence tools

This is accomplished through two tools
developed here

The first tool being LinkedInDownloader and the second being Jasperize

As the names imply,
LinkedInDownloader downloads your profile data and Jasperize builds your resume for you

This seperate two stage
process allows you to fiddle and customize your LinkedIn data before automatically generating your resume

Features are Downloads your LinkedIn profile data Generates your resume using a JasperSoft template Optionally includes a cover letter with your resume Supports several formats which are PDF, DOCX, PPTX, ODT, XHTML Examples Example resumes in different output formats Adobe Acrobat (pdf) Microsoft word (docx) Microsoft power point (pptx) Installing You can install the source through master which is typically fairly stable or through a tag

The benfits of pulling
from a tag is that you have a version number you can associate with any problems you might encounter

Also, you know
when there’s a new version as I will always push new versions out through the tags

Clone the repository ( Install git if you haven’t already ) git clone https://github

com/FrankHassanabad/ResumeBuilder

git Either build from master or switch to a tag and build with that

I recommend using the latest tag and building from
that so that if you find an issue you can report against that tagged version

I will use a version as an example
but it might not be the latest version

For the latest tag see tags

git checkout resumebuilder-parent-1

0 Build using maven ( Install maven if you haven’t already ) mvn package Running LinkedInDataDownloader Open a DOS command line window to your main ResumeBuilder directory

From there, switch to the distribution directory

Note that the directory versions are going to be different depending on if you’re using a tag version or master
version

Below I assume a tag version of 1

0
1

cd distribution/target/ResumeBuilder-1

0
1/ResumeBuilder-1
0

1 From within the above distribution directory you can run LinkedInDownloader to download your profile XML
information into the diretory of data/linkedInResumes

However first, you have to request a set of LinkedIn API keys from you account

LinkedInDataDownloader

bat When prompted enter your API key Enter your LinkedIn API Key:
>> (Enter your api key here) When the next prompt occurs, enter your API secert key Enter your LinkedIn API Secret Key:
>> (Enter your secret api key) When the final prompt comes up to get the verification token, visit the website, enter your LinkedIn credentials
and then put in the verification key You need to authorize LinkedInDataDownloader by copying the LinkedIn URL into a browser:
https://api

linkedin

com/uas/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxx
And paste the verifier here
>> (Enter your verification code) And then you should see the program output of download your LinkedInProfile like so Writing the output of your profile into data/linkedInResumes/linkedInProfileData
