Five Awesome One-Column Resume Templates in Latex

less than 1 minute read

Recently, I was looking for a few one-page resume templates in Latex. Obviously, the best resource collection to start looking for is the Overleaf Template Gallery .

I liked a few ones and here are my top five choices:

Resume template by Anubhav

Data Science Tech Resume Template

Modern-Deedy

Software Engineer Resume

Juan D Cardozos Resume

My last resume was created using the deedy-resume class, which had a two-column style. You can find the modified version in this overleaf project .

However, I found two-column resumes difficult to render when chosen the option to obtain information from uploaded resume in the online resume submission portals. Therefore, I have decided to use one-column resumes to apply for internship in the next summer.

LaTeX template for resume/curriculum vitae

If you have a TeX'ed resume, did you use a template or make your own? Are there any useful packages? What looks the most professional? How about special considerations for different areas of work (e.g. in academia)?

• 34 An article pointer and discussion at Hacker News, Why I do my resume in LaTeX , will interest some people here, I think. –  Charles Stewart Commented Feb 21, 2011 at 9:13
• 1 You could look at How to show off TeX skills with a TeX-typeset CV? . –  Clément Commented Oct 7, 2015 at 13:06

For my current CV, I ended up using moderncv . It doesn’t have many features but it is very easy to use and yields a very elegant output.

However, I also want to mention its drawbacks: customising it isn’t easy, especially since it doesn’t really use a clean, semantic markup. For example, to specify multi-column properties, you actually need to specify the items in an odd order (namely line by line instead of column wise).

• 16 Another vote for moderncv. To my eye (after having read hundreds of CVs over the past year's hiring), it presents the information in a way that makes it easy for the reader to find what they are looking for. This is critical to getting past the first pass. –  KeithB Commented Jul 26, 2010 at 20:28
• 54 I’m attempted to downvote my own answer. I’ve recently had to change my CV slightly and it was imperative that everything fit on one page, which, from the available space, wasn’t a problem in principle. However, moderncv simply doesn’t accomodate such wishes. I ended up rewriting large parts of it, in an extremely quick&dirty way since I didn’t have a lot of time. In hindsight, creating my own class from scratch would have cost me less time. As soon as I’ve got time I’ll rewrite my CV without any template. –  Konrad Rudolph Commented Jan 27, 2011 at 19:06
• 11 moderncv actually has a new feature (or a related package) since yesterday: moderntimeline . –  raphink Commented Sep 30, 2011 at 13:36
• 3 @Konrad Any chance you could elaborate on the issue? Normally, you can simply change the margin of the pages through geometry, or decrease the inter-element spacing through the optional parameter of every command. –  Xavier Commented Feb 23, 2012 at 0:54
• 1 @Xavier Changing the margins wasn’t an option, and changing the inter-element spacing proved to be a major pain in the *ss. In particular though I tried putting some of the elements in two columns next to each other and that didn’t go down well with the package. –  Konrad Rudolph Commented Feb 23, 2012 at 7:57

I made my own. In the end, it was much easier that way; you get what you want. Especially if you have situations in which you need to quickly prepare e.g. a 4-page CV, you know how to tweak your own layout to meet the requirements.

Some key tools:

article class

geometry package for margins

hyperref to have a nice PDF (e.g., DOI hyperlinks in the list of publications, proper PDF metadata)

enumitem for tweaking list layout; titlesec for section headings

cite , url , microtype , babel , ...

Keep layout and content separated; easy to do something like \input{layout2}\input{content} to produce yet another version with a different layout.

multibib to get multiple lists of references in the CV (one for journal papers, another for conference papers, etc.):

The "nocite" lists, etc., are automatically generated from a source file by using a Python script. The lists are actually in a separate file that I \input .

A tweaked version of the unsrt Bibtex style: I added things like DOI links, etc., by using some ugly hacks.

JabRef + some scripts to maintain the Bibtex database.

Rubber (with % rubber: module pdftex ) for compiling everything. It works OK with multibib.

• @user71207: Since they are templates, they may require style and class files, all of which are contained within the Overleaf project/template. You should download them all (the entire project) and maintain the Overleaf file structure (which could include subfolders), then you should be able to compile the main file. –  Werner ♦ Commented Sep 12, 2021 at 15:58

I will second the Taraborelli CV templates at http://nitens.org/taraborelli/cvtex . In the past I've used the curve and moderncv packages but, in the end, found the combination of his elegant templates + xelatex to be the simplest and most flexible solution. I wasn't constrained by particular sectioning, etc.

Personally, I use the Hoefler Text+Optima. I also like the Caslon.

The TeX Catalogue list CV packages in a category:

• Writing Applications for a Job / CV

By the way: I wasn't satisfied by the results of such packages. So, I used scrartcl and tabularx to typeset my CV. This way I could match it to the design of my application letter done with scrlttr2. I used tabularx in macros, allowing easy adjustments for all parts of the CV at once. Simple and elegant, no fancy colored lines and the like.

Copied from here to this topic following a request.

EDIT: The original link to the TeX Catalogue was dead. The TeX Catalogue might be superseded by https://ctan.org/topics/highscore , especially https://ctan.org/topic/cv for CV.

• 4 The link is not working anymore. –  Roman Commented Feb 25, 2014 at 12:06
• @Roman (and Stefan, of course), I took the liberty of updating the link for a functional one. I hope it's OK. –  Gonzalo Medina Commented Jan 28, 2015 at 23:47
• I don't know if this is a mirror of the link above, nonetheless here it is: texcatalogue.ctan.org/bytopic.html (Last modified: 10 June 2016) –  Amar Commented Nov 19, 2016 at 13:42

This strikes me as a particularly good example of a CV or vita . The latex code can be seen here . As an example, see the author's vita .

For typesetting bidirectional resumes in languages other than english, the bidi package provides bidimoderncv2 class for typesetting resumés, which is the modified version of moderncv class. Two examples are presented in the doc folder of the package, namely test-casualcv.tex and test-classiccv.tex than you can look and learn how you can use it.

Take note that both are taken from examples of the package and are typeset in persian, but works fine in any other languages (whether ltr or rtl ).

• Can you tell me how can I compile the test-classiccv.tex file? should it be with pdfLatex or XeTex? –  Ehsan Commented Jun 4, 2014 at 20:41
• It should be with xelatex, since it is based on bidi , and it only works with xelatex. –  Hasan Zakeri Commented Jul 27, 2014 at 11:04

Recently added document class, cv4tw by Geoffrey Gouez, offers a "LaTeX CV class, with extended details".

The class offers entries for assets and social networks; customizable styles are provided. The class comes with no documentation, but a worked example offers some guidance.

This package is still under development but it shows great progress. Here is a sample screen shot of an example made using the class file.

Here is a direct link to the example above: sample-jules-verne . Note this requires XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX to run. Also note that the example given does not compile directly because the samplepic.jpg file is not provided; just replace it with your own or download it here from GitHub under examples.

• 4 It's a fantastic new solution for CV writing in Latex (+1). Unfortunately there is no reasonable documentation available. –  Roman Commented Feb 25, 2014 at 18:25
• 2 This is really a power house of new template. As a former moderncv user, it feels so much more versatile. –  ojdo Commented Jun 12, 2016 at 11:12

I can offer you a video tutorial I made recently, which covers this topic using the article class. I just got hired for a lectureship position last week, so I think it is pretty good!

• The video was removed from youtube because it was too long. You should probably upload it somewhere else and update the link. –  bodo Commented Jul 10, 2012 at 21:09
• 1 I just noticed that and fixed it. Should be ready to go by the time you see this again. –  Jonathan Komar Commented Jul 10, 2012 at 21:54
• Many Thanks! :) I think the best way is to use the article class since you can do what ever you want. :) –  Hosein Rahnama Commented Nov 28, 2017 at 11:28
• That would be nice if you provided the source .tex file too. :) –  Hosein Rahnama Commented Nov 28, 2017 at 13:20

I also ended up making my own style, however, I added one twist: I actually store my CV in XML format and then use an XSLT transform to convert it into a .tex file. While this required a lot more work upfront, the benefit is that I can use the same XML file to generate plain text, HTML, abridged, &c. versions without having to maintain n separate files. If you end up making your own LaTeX style for your CV, I would also suggest you seriously consider investing the time to use the XML/XSLT technique. You can see the results of this technique here (scroll to the bottom of the page to see the XML and HTML versions). It would take me a bit of time to clean them up, but I'd be happy to share my XSLTs with people if anyone is interested. This is an open source project that does something similar , however, it was started after I created my technique and I've never used it.

• 1 I looked at the XML Resume Library a while back and noticed that it seems to be dead: last "news" is dated 2004. I also looked at HR-XML but then I decided I was spending too much time and used curve instead. :-) –  Matthew Leingang Commented Jan 30, 2011 at 18:22

I've been using a lightly tweaked version of Michael DeCorte's res.cls . No idea if it is best of breed (nor why I chose it), but if it ain't broke. . . .

I found CurVe to be a nice package. Used it to get two student jobs and apparently, it worked :). The only drawback is that the default structure of the CV may need adjustments to your specific purposes.

For my current one I just rolled my own. I use fancyhdr for the header and footer, and lastpage so that I can display page x/y in the footer (so that the person reviewing it would know if they lost a page).

The entirety of the rest of the document is built from nested customized list s.

• +1 on fancyhdr . –  Hober Commented Jul 26, 2010 at 21:48

Here's an example of a nice-looking "home-made" CV: http://nitens.org/taraborelli/cvtex

If you'd like to use LaTeX along with BibTeX, I have a template here:

http://pointsofsail.org/wikka.php?wakka=LatexCV

It is based on Dario Taraborelli's template (http://nitens.org/taraborelli/cvtex) and uses bibtex and the bibentry package to make the publications section.

Here is a Hacker News thread with many examples of resumes and CVs in (La)TeX:

• http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3013654

I ended up making my own, but it took a while. Expect to have to fight LaTeX's defaults on a lot of things. That said, it's worth it. I learned a lot about LaTeX and have a good resume that I can say I wrote.

I wouldn't be surprised, but it seems like if you're going to use LaTeX for your resume, be prepared to answer truthfully whether you used a template or not, and be comfortable with the answer.

• 6 It shouldn't be a problem even if you used a template, the purpose of the resume is to present the professional skills, not the low-level LaTeX skills. –  wishihadabettername Commented Aug 11, 2010 at 15:05

I used curve to create my CV:

http://www.mhelvens.net/cv

Quite customizable by itself. But I added several hacks and convenience macros of my own:

• nicer rubric-title underlining
• separate bullet-shapes for [ongoing], [notable] and [other]
• separate year-styles for [period] and [event]
• separate year-styles for [past], [ongoing, known end-year], [ongoing, open end]
• hyperlinked cross-references
• hyperlinked e-mail and url
• for specific projects and papers: hyperlinked www or doi
• when printing, cross-refs, urls and e-mail are black; www and doi links are invisible

Someday soon I should make the code public. But for now it's a bit too chaotic to release.

I have made my CV using predominately BibLaTeX . I have gone way beyond just using BibLaTeX for my publications, but have added a number of custom entry types (e.g., funding, service, teaching, presentation, education), modified the biber data model to allow for new fields and written bibliography drivers to handle the formating of these new entry types. Everything except my contact information is stored in a bib file (and technically my contact information is stored in the @preamble entry). Each version of my CV is produced by a tex file that sets a few BibLaTeX booleans and defines a bunch of \defbibfiler and \defbibcheck .

I find this makes it much easier for me to reorganize/reorder my CV. Previously it was easy to move my "teaching" section before my "service" section, but with BibLaTeX I can have my teaching in a big list or divide it into undergraduate and graduate or University A and University B. Similarly I can divide my research presentations into internal/external or into talk/poster.

• 4 Intersting approach! I would love to see the code for this :-) –  Daniel Commented Jul 4, 2013 at 5:52

I have made this by adapting some parts of other curriculum, like the one called Alice. I used tcolorbox for the content. I also had great help from Alan Munn. Feel free to modify and use.

I adapted the resume class found in http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~csuros/latex.html .

LaTeX Templates showcases several templates, ranging from conservative to fancy.

I ended up using Classicthesis-Styled CV . It caught my eye as most esthetically pleasing. And even with my poor LaTeX skills was very easy to adapt to my needs.

As I haven't seen it here yet, I would like to mention limecv which is shipped with TeX Live (development on GitHub: https://github.com/opieters/limecv ). Apart from your CV you can create a cover letter in a similar design with that package.

The following pictures are taken from the documentation.

I maintain a Latex template targetted for Engineers on Github, you can find it at https://github.com/sb2nov/resume

For a professional looking CV there is Plasmati CV, good for banking, consultancy careers. ModernCV is colored works for serious and less serious careers (communication management etc... and Friggeri CV is the template for designers etc... ModernCV is used at CVsintellect and the 3 are used in seeveeze

Software developer resume in Latex

sb2nov/resume

Folders and files.

Repository files navigation

A single-page, one-column resume for software developers. It uses the base latex templates and fonts to provide ease of use and installation when trying to update the resume. The different sections are clearly documented and custom commands are used to provide consistent formatting. The three main sections in the resume are education, experience, and projects.

I created this template as managing a resume on Google Docs was hard and changing any formatting was too difficult since it had to be applied in multiple places.

Most currently available templates either focus on two columns, or are multiple pages long that didn't work well for career fairs or online applications.
