Agreed ! The following is a LaTeX CV which I have used in the past. The details have been changed to protect the innocent/guilty. it's a bit of a hack, using tabular environments to line things up, and gives loads of overfull hbox errors - nevertheless, it works fairly well. Share and enjoy. Bruce. -------------------------------cut here ----------------------------------- % Sample CV % Gives loads of errors, but just ignore them % R.B. Rodger, 1 November 1990 % % CV's are notoriously difficult to do in LateX, as they do not follow % any of the 'standard' formats. % % The following LaTeX stuff produces a reasonable CV - at least, it got % me a job :-) It will give dozens of errors about 'overfull hboxes' and % all that rubbish when you latex it - ignore this, just keep hitting the % return key.... % % % Bruce. % (cnbs06@vaxa.strath.ac.uk) \documentstyle[12pt,a4]{article} \begin{document} \pagestyle{empty} \centerline{\bf\huge Curriculum Vitae.} \vskip 10mm \begin{tabular}{ll} {\bf Name:} & {\em Arthur Pewty}\\ \\ {\bf Address:} & 12 Acacia Avenue,\\ & Swindon,\\ & Bananaland,\\ & W1 8QT.\\ \\ {\bf Telephone:} & (1234) 56789\\ \\ {\bf Date of Birth:} & 6 November 1901.\\ \\ {\bf Marital status:} & Married.\\ \\ \hline \\ {\bf Education:} & \\ \\ 1920 : 1939 & Kilmacolm School for the Mentally Deranged.\\ & SCE Highers: Maths, Physics, Chemistry,\\ & English, French, Plasticene.\\ & (all at grade 'Z')\\ \\ 1945 : 1914 & Department of Fruit and Vegetables,\\ & University of Strathclyde,\\ & Glasgow.\\ & BSc Hons (1st class) in Aubergines.\\ \\ 1966 : 2089 & Department of Silly Things,\\ & University of Saltcoats,\\ & Glasgow.\\ & Postgraduate Study leading to PhD (estimated completion\\ & date: October 2001)\\ \\ \end{tabular} \\ %\hline \\ \clearpage \noindent {\bf Current research:}\\ \\ (lots of interesting stuff here :-) \vskip 10mm \\ \noindent {\bf Previous Employment:}\\ \noindent \\ \begin{tabular}{ll} 1984 - 1989 :& Apprentice Lamppost, Main St, Coatbridge.\\ 1990 - 2000 :& Chief Workstation-Polisher,\\ & Strathclyde University.\\ \\ \end{tabular} \\ {\bf Prizes and Distinctions:}\\ \\ You are joking, surely ? \vskip 10mm \\ \hline \vskip 10mm \\ \noindent {\bf Computing Experience:}\\ \\ Owner of a ZX81 and a genuine Chinese Abacus.
