Curriculum Vitae for Alan Orth

A CV written in LaTeX using the moderncv class.

Sample

Here's what it looks like with real data, using the "classic" style and blue color scheme:

Why

I decided to start keeping my CV in LaTeX because:

I can never find my CV when I need it
I have dozens of files named resume.doc on my computer
LaTeX -> PDF ensures a consisent, beautiful layout
Writing your CV in a source-based language means you can track it in git (w00t!)

Usage

To "build" a PDF you simply type:

make

To clean up all generated and intermediate content, type:

make clean

Pre-requistes for building

Depending on your GNU/Linux distribution the package names may be different. Basically, you need the texlive package, as well as whichever "extras" package contains the moderncv stuff.

On Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -Sy texlive-core texlive-latexextra

On Fedora:

sudo yum install texlive texlive-moderncv

On Ubuntu:

 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:texlive-backports
 sudo apt-get install texlive
 sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install texlive-latex-extra
