Awesome CV Cover Letter. My two column CV. Material CV. I've been using a lightly tweaked version of Michael DeCorte's res. No idea if it is best of breed nor why I chose it , but if it ain't broke. I found CurVe to be a nice package. Used it to get two student jobs and apparently, it worked :. The only drawback is that the default structure of the CV may need adjustments to your specific purposes.
It would take me a bit of time to clean them up, but I'd be happy to share my XSLTs with people if anyone is interested. This is an open source project that does something similar , however, it was started after I created my technique and I've never used it. For my current one I just rolled my own. I ended up making my own, but it took a while. Expect to have to fight LaTeX's defaults on a lot of things.
That said, it's worth it. I wouldn't be surprised, but it seems like if you're going to use LaTeX for your resume, be prepared to answer truthfully whether you used a template or not, and be comfortable with the answer. I have gone way beyond just using BibLaTeX for my publications, but have added a number of custom entry types e.
Everything except my contact information is stored in a bib file and technically my contact information is stored in the preamble entry. Previously it was easy to move my "teaching" section before my "service" section, but with BibLaTeX I can have my teaching in a big list or divide it into undergraduate and graduate or University A and University B.
LaTeX Templates showcases several templates, ranging from conservative to fancy. I ended up using Classicthesis-Styled CV. It caught my eye as most esthetically pleasing.
And even with my poor LaTeX skills was very easy to adapt to my needs. I have made this by adapting some parts of other curriculum, like the one called Alice.
I used tcolorbox for the content. I also had great help from Alan Munn. Feel free to modify and use. Apart from your CV you can create a cover letter in a similar design with that package.

This is critical to getting past the first pass. In hindsight, creating my own class from scratch would have cost me less time. Konrad Any chance you could elaborate on the issue?

Jukka Suomela. Could you share an example of this, and typical output, please? In you could check overleaf. Google can show a thousand other examples, but that's a good place to start. Actually, these are all extremely space-y.
Anything more compact? A google search puts this page at the top I didn't like the samples too much. Too simple and colorless! I second Diego! Wow, great collection with samples! I scrolled back the half-mile to upvote. How do you use teh overleaf ones? When you create documents with a word processor, you will quickly notice that many of them are quite similar. Letters tend to have the same layout, so do invoices, meeting notices, etc. Some TextMaker users start every letter from scratch, others use the predefined templates.
Adventurous users open an old document, delete the text and enter new text, then save the new document under a new file name. This is risky: All too often, they forget to pick a new name and accidentally overwrite an old document.
A better approach is to set up a custom document layout and save it as a re-usable document template. This is not as scary as it may sound — let's work through the process one step at a time. Even though document templates can save a lot of time and headaches, many word-processing users employ a quick-and-dirty approach instead: They format a document the way they want it and proceed to use this file as the basis for all further documents of the same type.
This approach has several drawbacks, the main one being that users can inadvertently overwrite their old files. If they catch the error soon enough, they can recover the old version from a backup file. Another drawback of the quick-and-dirty approach is that users tend to forget updating some of the data from the original letter, such as the date or recipient's address.
Imagine the puzzled stare of the recipient of a letter dating back to Or when Mr. Emerson receives a letter that starts with "Dear Mrs. Miller" — oops. The clean approach is to use templates. Let's start small — by customizing this default template a bit.
First, back up the Normal. Now you can open and edit Normal. Type a few paragraphs of dummy headings and text into the template. Format the headings with the paragraph style "Heading 1". You will notice that the standard font for headings is Arial, whereas the body text uses Times New Roman by default. Let's modernize things a bit.
Select a heading paragraph and format it with a font of your liking from the font dropdown menu. I chose "Cambria" because it looks classy. Now right-click on the selected heading and choose Paragraph style from the context menu. In the middle column of the Paragraph style dialog box, click on Update from text , then click Apply to exit the dialog box. From now on, all headings in this document will be displayed in the Cambria font by default — including "Heading 2", "Heading 3" and "Heading 4", because they inherit their font from "Heading 1".
Now select a paragraph of body text — the quickest way to do this is to triple-click on one spot within the paragraph. Choose a font to your liking from the font selection menu. I chose "Calibri" and set the font size to "11" for better legibility. Update the paragraph style "Normal" as described above. All paragraphs formatted as "Normal" should now match the new font. This is a good opportunity to adjust the paragraph style even further, using the Edit button from the Paragraph style dialog box.
One possible adjustment is to set up additional paragraph spacing, for instance "5 pt" before and after each paragraph. The same principles can be applied to other templates. Templates can also contain fields which TextMaker will fill out automatically. Provided that you have previously filled out your personal information using the User info button on the General tab of the dialog box File Options , this template will automatically insert your name, address and phone number in several predefined fields.
However, note that the template may not completely fulfill your needs yet. In the following steps, I will show you how to:. A simple and clean resume template written with all the appropriate conventions such as standalone subfiles for content, and separate class file for formatting code.
Updated to also use fancyhdr formatting package. Modular Resume. A pretty, modular resume designed to support multiple versions. The LuaLaTex class ReCeiVe provides a wide variety of possible cv structures and allows the user to change many details easily. The class is written in such a manner that it should not be necessary to alternate it in any way in order to get the desired cv layout.
