When I was finishing great school I realized that I needed to put together a curriculum vitae (CV for short). I thought LaTeX might be the best way to do that. I started looking around and did not find much for which I liked the code or that looked nice. I finally stumbled onto Andrew McNabb. He has written a LaTeX style guide for creating resumes. I started my usual, take this a part and change it all a round and make it better. I spent a few days and only succeeded in making the code much, much bulkier and not any better. So I went back to his style guide and made small changes to make it fit what I needed. The result is a nice looking CV and all the LaTeX code is in the .tex file.
I have tried to keep my CV up to date with a lot of information and be all inclusive. For a job application I would probably submit a portion of my CV and not the full document. For example, most people looking to hire me do not care that I have an FCC radio operator license (ham radio operator).
Here are the files I use to create the CV.
