It is really difficult to typeset a resume. If you are already using Microsoft word (there are some word templates here) for this, and you think your resume is looking better, then this post is not for you. For all others who want to  try some thing new, I have found a good source.

Latex is a cool software to typeset professional looking document. It is the first choice for many. What’s more? It’s free and beats every other software which in the class by long margin. The only problem being, you need to learn the commands, tips and tricks to make the most of it.

Professional looking Resume

I was not happy with my word resume. I have already some experience in Latex. I used Latex to typeset my thesis. It will take time initially to learn, once you know how, then there is not looking back. So, I decided to redo my resume in Latex and I was going through few sites, in search of Latex templates.

• The CV Inn – This site is full of Latex templates. You can download the TEX source and modify to your need. The best ones are here and here.
• Stefano blog – I finally adopted this template. A two column approach made possible with table approach.

I have to tweak few things for my need. I am happy with the output though. If any one is looking for help in setting Latex and errors with the above templates, let me know, I will help you out.
