Did you do the normal cycle pdflatex -> biber -> pdflatex (twice)? — Bernard, Feb 18 '18 at 21:10
Package biblatex Warning: Please (re)run Biber on the file: (biblatex) sample (biblatex) and rerun LaTeX afterwards.
That's what I get on the first pdflatex.

On Biber, I get this:

ERROR - Cannot find control file 'sample.bcf'! - did you pass the "backend=biber" option to BibLaTeX? — Enrique Segura, Feb 18 '18 at 21:12
You can't use bibentry with biblatex. Use proper biblatex methods for doing this sort of thing. See e.g. biblatex: List of publications in the CV — Alan Munn, Feb 18 '18 at 21:40
Anyway, biber is the default engine for bib latex. I tested, and can't obtain a bibliography with this class. However, it works fine with a standard class like article. Could you consider changing class? — Bernard, Feb 18 '18 at 21:42

The res.cls blocks the use of any .aux files by issuing a \nofiles command inside the class. This means that out of the box you cannot use any bibliography software with it.

I would probably recommend using a different class altogether, or just formatting your CV using article and a few packages. But if you do want to continue to use the res.cls it can be done.

Edit `res.cls`

Make a copy of res.cls and rename it, e.g. res-bib.cls. Line 203 of the class (version on CTAN) should read:

\nofiles %  resume's don't need .aux files

Delete or comment this line out in the copy of your class. (Deleting is preferred since it will also get rid of the apostrophe in the comment...)

Use `biblatex` not `bibentry`

Now, using the modified class, here's how to use biblatex to add the publications:

Hi, I still can't get into work; can't find the res-bib.cls ? — Enrique Segura, Feb 18 '18 at 23:36
@EnriqueSegura Make a copy of res.cls and rename it res-bib.cls, then make the edit described in the answer. — Alan Munn, Feb 18 '18 at 23:40
I did that; copy the res file, edit the line. still didn't work. — Enrique Segura, Feb 19 '18 at 00:24
my problem is that, even for this example, the bibliography after the changes in the .cls file is still empty. — Enrique Segura, Feb 19 '18 at 00:28
Are you compiling with pdftlatex then biber then pdflatex (twice)? — Alan Munn, Feb 19 '18 at 00:48
@EnriqueSegura Did you change the \addbibresource line to point to your actual bib file? Did you remember the \nocite{*} in the document? — Alan Munn, Feb 19 '18 at 00:56

How can I get my CV to print the publication list?
