Freeman Cover Letter

This cover letter features the same two-column top section as the Freeman CV and should be used as its pair when applying for jobs.

Description

This cover letter features the same two-column top section as the Freeman CV and should be used as its pair when applying for jobs. The layout of the cover letter body features the potential employer and job title you are applying for at the top, then the body of the letter. You may choose to include address or contact information of the hiring manager above the salutation line, but this is increasingly not necessary with modern job applications.

Usage Guide

Compilation

This template needs to be compiled with XeLaTeX due to the custom fonts it uses. It contains a line in the header that should make this happen automatically, but if it doesn’t for you, set your LaTeX editor to compile with XeLaTeX each time you open the template. Alternatively, if you compile via the command line, use the xelatex command instead of pdflatex.

Fonts

This template uses the following fonts: EB Garamond, Freebooter Script, Libertinus Sans and FontAwesome. All four are supplied with the template so you don’t have to worry about installing them on your system. The licenses are supplied with the template and each has been generously licensed for redistribution. All font files and licenses are in the Fonts folder once you unzip the template.

Icons

This template uses the FontAwesome icons in the colored box at the top right. Many icons are available and you can find a PDF in the Fonts folder that has examples of all of them along with the command to add them. The colored box already has 2 commented lines to include a GitHub or LinkedIn profile link, so just follow this structure with any other lines you’d like to add.
