I think this one is one of the better ones I've seen (source). You can see some of the tweaks I've made in adapting it to mine as well (source).

I've been using this one for several years and have been very happy with it. It is a descendant of several other templates: http://www.sudo.ws/todd/resume.html

My own custom one. :) They're not very hard to write and once written make updates a breeze. It's the ideal tool for resumes, I think.


Agreed. If you're too lazy to start from scratch you can start with any old template and vandalize away to your hearts content.

I like the ones with a picture, although I'm not sure if pictures are appropriate in CVs.


Is there a "simple" way to draw rectangles and fill them with colors and overlay text?

I have a nice home-made Word resume and the only thing stopping me from moving it to LaTeX is the fear that the design would be too much work.



If someone prefers a more WYSIWYG approach, they might try the open source Scribus ( http://www.scribus.net/ )


I used moderncv with slight modifications for my last cv.


How to learn LaTex quickly (good enough to create an awesome looking resume)?
