Ask HN: What's your favorite Latex resume template?

My own custom one. :) They're not very hard to write and once written make updates a breeze. It's the ideal tool for resumes, I think.

I think this one is one of the better ones I've seen (source). You can see some of the tweaks I've made in adapting it to mine as well (source).

I've been using this one for several years and have been very happy with it. It is a descendant of several other templates: http://www.sudo.ws/todd/resume.html

I used moderncv with slight modifications for my last cv.

If someone prefers a more WYSIWYG approach, they might try the open source Scribus ( http://www.scribus.net/ )

Is there a "simple" way to draw rectangles and fill them with colors and overlay text?

I have a nice home-made Word resume and the only thing stopping me from moving it to LaTeX is the fear that the design would be too much work.

I like the ones with a picture, although I'm not sure if pictures are appropriate in CVs.
