I do this in LaTeX. I have the full document and just comment out in the code what I don't in each case before compiling the PDF. As it is a plain text file I have it in a git repo so it's trivial to look for older versions or attach tags to specific CV versions I've submitted.

+1 for LaTeX but the barrier to entry is so high. I use LaTeX for mine but I'm always on the lookout for a 'nicer' markup language.

LaTeX is a no brainer for anyone with a mind predisposed to programming... E.g people in the software industry. It makes working with my CV a _piece of cake!_

This guy has an interesting approach with YAML for the content, LaTeX for the template, and pandoc for compiling: https://github.com/mrzool/cv-boilerplate
