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.docon 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.

sudo pacman -Sy texlive-core texlive-latexextra
On Fedora:
sudo yum install texlive texlive-moderncv
On Ubuntu:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:texlive-backports
