Robotics is competitive.
Everyone is building, publishing, presenting.
So when your resume lands on a recruiter’s desk, it needs to look like you belong in robotics, even if you do not have a fancy degree or connections.
So today, I am pulling back the curtain.
The Tool That Changed Everything:
What is Overleaf?
If you have never used or heard of Overleaf, here is a quick introduction:
Overleaf is a free, cloud-based LaTeX editor built for engineers, researchers, and technical professionals.
LaTeX is a markup-based typesetting system used to create professional, structured documents with precision formatting.
Think of it as the Google Docs of clean, precise formatting, but for people who write in code, equations, and structured logic.
No installations. No LaTeX setup. No dealing with local compilers.
Just log in and build technical docs right in your browser.
Why I use it?
LaTeX = Precision. You get pixel-perfect alignment, sectioning, and spacing. Your resume reads like a technical report, not a collage.
Code-Driven Writing. Every section is modular; change one entry, everything updates seamlessly.
Collaboration & Feedback. Share links with mentors or peers and get live suggestions.
Version Control. Messed up an entry? Roll back anytime.
⚠️ This is not a paid promotion. I believe Overleaf is one of the best ways for robotics students and engineers to create clean, professional resumes, without wasting hours in Microsoft Word formatting.
Your first opportunity starts with how well you present what you have already built.
