I use the =moderncv= class for LaTeX, no org-export or such. I think the
effort of constructing a working org->special class LaTeX-exporter is a
lot greater than learning to use the LaTeX-class properly. The
=moderncv= is bundled with at least TeX Live, not sure about MiKTeX.

Otherwise, Dario Taraborelli has a nice template for making an academic
cv, read about it on his page:

Myriad Pro is a very fancy and nice looking font for this kind of
things, just a tip.
