Resume VS Awesome-CV

I am using the Russel Resume CV Template. I have a couple of columns defined using the cvskill command to define a couple of sections. Within the section, the spaces between the skilltype and the skillset column is defined by the longest column plus 1ex tabcolsep.

Beyond that, you could do better on the layout. If you're familiar with LaTeX, it may be worth the investment to create a resume using it. Overleaf has some great templates, they're all free, and in general I found that my response rate improved a lot when I ditched the MS Word appearance for something cleaner like the Russell template.

My template lies here to check the overleaf version go here

I am in the process of rewriting my CV using the [awesome-cv](https://github.com/posquit0/Awesome-CV) template and am pretty happy with how things are turning out.

Delete your résumé and fill in something like: https://github.com/posquit0/Awesome-CV

You’ll probably need to get a temporary job. I suggest a union job like warehouse worker so you can get benefits.

Don’t let your pride get in the way of contracting.

Looks like it was made using Awesome CV https://github.com/posquit0/Awesome-CV.

Try some more fancy templates and add a custom colour theme to stand out more: https://github.com/posquit0/Awesome-CV

Awesome CV

Thanks! It's actually a LaTeX template (https://github.com/posquit0/Awesome-CV). I thought the three red letters was kind of odd but if I remove it or change it to only the first letter etc it looks kind of weird so I decided to keep it for a splash of color. I was thinking about finding another template but all the other ones look too generic, and being simple can be good, but I think this strikes a nice balance between functionally simple and aesthetically pleasing.

I'm a big fan of the Awesome-CV LaTeX template

I write my own CVs in LaTeX using awesome-cv (https://github.com/posquit0/Awesome-CV), just keep each section brief with some achievements/what cool stuff you've worked on.
