Latex Resume Template

i've installed your shading and i get a low resolution grey shading ... but when i convert to pdf or tex2pdf i dont get any shading on \resheading's , do you have any suggestions ?
thanks

Why can't I get rid of the number sign as in:
#666-1234 Main Street

When I try taking it out I get this error:
! Undefined control sequence.

Thanks for a great and professionnal CV template! I also noticed that the shading would not show if I compiled the LaTeX source with PDFLaTeX directly. As a workaround, you can replace \parashade with this:

\usepackage[svgnames]{xcolor}
\usepackage{framed}
\definecolor{shadecolor}{gray}{0.85}  % Background color of title bars
 
\newcommand{\resheading}[1]{
  \parbox{\textwidth}{
    \begin{shaded}
      \textbf{\sffamily{\mbox{~}{\large #1} \vphantom{p\^{E}}}}
    \end{shaded}
  }
}

Now, PDFLaTeX correctly shows the shaded background of title bars.

Enjoy!

ok david, not going to lie to you, love your resume/cv, desperately want to copy it. I am an latex rookie, and have made a CV on latex which is very similar to this:

http://www.tedpavlic.com/post_resume_cv_latex_example.php

but i think for a graduate your template is much better

the only trouble is i am finding it very difficult (impossible) to obtain an output from your tex file into PDF... and so this has made it difficult (impossible) for me to edit you tex file and make the resume/CV my own.

I guess the issue is the shading thing you mentioned above (which i presume provides shading in the section boxes - which i dont really need). How can i make your resume into a tex file that doesnt come up with like a thousand errors????!!!!!

Thanks very much,

L.B.

First let me just say that I love your resume template. It's the best I've seen yet.

However, I discovered a few days ago that my university's online job application system (for graduating students to apply for positions at companies with whom the university has career relations) will only all the uploading of word processing documents. It won't accept PDFs, which is particularly stupid because it ends up converting the documents to PDF anyway. I tried using latex2rtf, but it puked on trying to process the shading.

Is there a reasonably simple way that you know of to convert to RTF or MS Word format and preserve all the prettiness and formatting that prompted me to use LaTeX in the first place?

Thanks,
Jonathan

Excellent resume and thanks for the template.

I'm not too well versed in LaTeX so I have a few questions about some things I am trying to adjust.

Firstly, I like the way you are using the bullets under the work experience section, and I am trying to incorporate it into a section of my own resume. However, some of the items in mine only need a single tabular line instead of two. I tried to make another command paralleling your "ressubheading" command to no avail. Can you please help me to do so?

Secondly, I'm also doing a scores section with structure similar to your awards section. My items on the left are much shorter though, about 10-20 characters each, and to have the score of each test so far to the right is unappealing. How could I move the second column further to the left, perhaps slightly to the left of the middle of the column?

Thanks

Hello, I have built a few more LaTeX and XeLaTeX cv templates at http://cv-templates.info
I would really appreciate your feedback on my work since I'm not particularly experience with LaTeX.

I introduced a couple of changes to this nice-looking template.

1. I integrated subversion information so that I can keep version information within the file:

%---------------- MPC: Subversion integration ----------------
\usepackage{svn-multi}
\svnid{$Id$}

2. I introduced a custom footer containing the last changed date info, my name and page numbering.

%---------------- MPC: Custom headings ---------------------
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{lastpage}
 
\fancypagestyle{plain}{%
\fancyhf{} % clear all header and footer fields
\fancyfoot[C]{Melvin P\'{e}rez--Cedano's R\'{e}sum\'{e}}
\fancyfoot[L] {Updated: {\svnfileyear-\svnfilemonth-\svnfileday}}
\fancyfoot[R]{\thepage\ of \pageref{LastPage}}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}
\setlength\footskip{30pt}
}
\pagestyle{plain}
%----------------------------------------------------------

Hope you find these changes useful.

thanks, this is the best latex template ive seen so far

I have never actually posted anything in my life, but I felt compelled to post a big thank you for giving out your latex resume template. It is very much appreciated. The link above which describes how to obtain the grey shading worked extremely well. Thanks again!

I've removed the shading package requirement, since I had trouble installing it with MacTeX.

David,

Long time no talk to... I had lost all of your styles once upon a time, but with the help of google, and a quick search, here I am.

I know you used to use Kile, but would the process work under lyx? Actually, I should just go back to doing everything in emacs, but...

I was learning LaTeX and needed a new resume anyway, this template saved me quite a bit of work.

I cannot get the shading bar working. Can any one tell me why? I tried all the alternatives mentioned in the comments

Hey David

I liked your resume, but I noticed one thing, that the bullet is not indented as should be. Its up and down. Any specific reason for it? I also want to modify your template a bit, but I am noob in latex. I wanted to shift the date of courses in LHS and also I want to add name of my supervisor in the project.Can you help me please
