resume

We were recently looking to fill a "Senior Java Developer" position. We got some interesting applications that went straight into the "no pile". I'm sure there are tons of list out there like this one but I couldn't resist listing a few of the things I saw:

• Your resume looks like it was written using Microsoft Works for Windows. It kind of document I might have made in 1990 with my old 386.

Here is a resume of mine done in latex using my resume.tex.txt template. Unfortunately the content in this resume is out-of-date so please don't look at the content too carefully. It was just an experiment to try to do my resume in Latex. A lot of people seem to like my template, so I keep these links here for all to enjoy. :-)

If you want your name centered, replace the header part with this:

\begin{center}
\textbf{\Large David Grant}
\end{center}
\begin{tabular*}{7in}{l@{\extracolsep{3.7in}}l}
