Re: [LUG] Advice/tips on a LaTeX CV.

Hey all.

I'm trying to get my CV going again for job hunting, and my current CV
is using the ModernCV class, but I'm finding it a bit heavy, and I'd prefer 
something simple and compact. No flashy things... I store my current CV in a Git 
repository, which I branch from the template to various job applications, customise, 
and write a cover letter. Then I commit.
I suppose my question is, does anyone here use a template *other than*
`moderncv`, or have any advice/tips for a custom CV layout?

One may ask: why TeX? It's primarily because I find the control I get
over my documents is so flexible - its also why I used it at college -
and that I can commit the sources to my Git repository. It's not on
GitHub, as it has my address ;)
Cheers!


Hi Dom

I am using the Scismic CV template

https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/scismics-recommended-cv-template-for-biotech-and-pharma-jobs/hbnkjrjnnpjz

Granted it is meant for biotech jobs, it does, however have all the sections needed, e.g personal statement, skills, experience, education etc.

I recently asked for some advice on my CV and was informed it was really good, in terms of information, layout etc.

There are two parts to this as there is a .sty file that runs along side the main document main.tex.


Hope this helps


Paul
