>unless you...can essentially create your own "template" This is pretty much what I did. I've learned exactly enough LaTeX to write my resume (and I'm happy with it). I tried using res.cls (which was recommended elsewhere in these comments) and I didn't like it. It was very opinionated, offering only a few different pre-defined layouts. Using a different layout would've involved modifying the class file, which was more than I could handle as a beginner. Writing my own class file from scratch (with help from some tutorials) was a lot easier.
