Dear org-mode community,
A year ago, there was a thread here, started by Rainer Krug, on using
org-mode to produce nice looking CVs.
I had contributed once to that thread, offering a broken example of what I
do. Then I dropped out of sight.
Now I'm finally getting around to filling in the blanks, should anyone
still be interested.
There are two pieces to my solution: first, setting up org-mode with a new
latex class, "cv"; and then including certain lines at the top of the org
file that contains the CV.
Here's are some elisp commands that will effect the first step:
(require 'ox-latex)
(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
'("cv" "\\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\\usepackage[margin=.75in]{geometry}
\\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\\usepackage{sectsty}
\\sectionfont{\\normalsize\\fontfamily{phv}\\slshape}
\\renewcommand*\\oldstylenums[1]{{\\fontfamily{fxlj}\\selectfont #1}}"
("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}"))
t)
(customize-variable 'org-latex-classes)
then save the customization.
And here's what I include at the top of my cv.org:
#+OPTIONS: author:nil timestamp:nil
#+TITLE:
#+DATE:
#+LaTeX_CLASS: cv
#+BEGIN_LATEX
\begin{flushleft}
\bfseries\Large Curriculum Vitae\hfill Daniel M. Griswold\normalfont
\end{flushleft}
\vspace{-12pt}%
\begin{flushright}
69 Stratton Road\\
Rochester, NY 14610\\
(585) xxx-xxxx\\
dgriswol@xxxxx.com\\
\hrulefill
\end{flushright}
#+END_LATEX
Within the org file, I use top level headings (single bullet) for major
sections, such as:
* Education
* Areas of Specialization
* Areas of Competence
* Employment History
* Publications
* Honors and Awards
and then within each of those sections I use unordered lists for the
relevant details, such as
* Education
- Ph. D., Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas, 2010
- M. Div., Union Theological Seminary in Virginia, Richmond, Virginia,
1991
- A. B., Hope College, Holland, Michigan, 1986
With all this in place, I export to pdf and end up with something like the
attached pdf.
I really like managing my CV this way. It's very easy to keep track of
what's what and to move things around.
I hope this helps someone who is still looking for a way to manage CVs in
org.
Cheers,
Dan Griswold

I do something similar, including your use of top level headings for the
major sections. However, I use koma-script's article class (scrartcl,
my default latex class) and then have the following in my org file:
#+begin_src org
,#+latex_header: \usepackage{fancyhdr}
,#+latex_header: \usepackage[includefoot,margin=2cm]{geometry}
# -------------------- Change the section headings to stand out a little more
,#+latex_header: \usepackage{titlesec}
,#+latex_header: \titleformat{\section}{\Large\bfseries}{}{0pt}{\color{blue}\centering}[\hrule]
,#+latex_header: \titleformat{\subsection}{\large\bfseries}{}{0pt}{\color{blue}}
# -------------------- remove boxes etc. from links as they look ugly on a printed document
,#+latex_header: \hypersetup{colorlinks=true,linkcolor={black},citecolor={black},pagecolor={black}, urlcolor={black}}
,#+latex_header: \pagestyle{fancy} \fancyhead{} \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt} \fancyfoot{} \lfoot{Curriculum Vitae} \cfoot{} \rfoot{Eric S Fraga -- \thepage} \thispagestyle{empty}
,#+latex_header: \setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
,#+latex_header: \setlength{\parskip}{5pt}
,#+latex_header: \sloppy
#+end_src
I could have put all of these in a separate org latex class but since
it's a one-use class, I thought it made more sense to have the
customisations in the org file. YMMV, of course ;-)
As my cv is rather long, I put a table of contents on the second page
after all of my personal details.
For my list of publications, I use the =etaremune= (enumerate backwards)
environment, as in:
#+begin_src org
,#+latex_header: \usepackage{etaremune}
(much later)
,#+attr_latex: :environment etaremune
1. most recent publication
2. older one
3. and so on
#+end_src
HTH (somebody),
