For designers, okay. But what's wrong with a simple LaTeX CV? Its clean, gets the point across, and frankly, it stands out from the other badly-formatted Word documents.
- beoba 16y agoGiven the style of the document itself, the language used in the header introduction ("Web apps that people actually want to use"), and the fact that every one of the "Previous Work" items has a gray "HTML/CSS" circle, I think/hope that she's trying to convey herself as primarily interested in front-end design work.

- cosbynator 16y agoThere was an entire news item that resulted in tons of LaTeX resume templates being posted last year: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1714381 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1714381 (mine included!)

I do wonder what ueful place recruiters still have in the process; they often seem to be providing a service that amounts to little more than running an advert and forwarding emails so why are they so highly paid for a variant on secretarial work?
