My go-to template collection is from Overleaf: https://www.overleaf.com/gallery/tagged/cv

My cv is an adaptation of one of the templates there: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1woxVNcJ4AmT7dD2WEnYr9BHEEY7...

EDIT: ahahahahaha I just came across this cv: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/resume-slash-cv-tem...

Nice CV. Way too much text but I absolutely love the included diagrams. I think interviewers are probably going to glaze over the text but the diagrams are interesting and they practically beg for questions.

I'm totally stealing that.

My own experiment involved writing my CV in YAML, and using a Pandoc template to generate .tex and .pdf. I think I may have overcooked the thing a little, but it was good fun.

I never got into emacs. Is Org worth it?

it’s not too shabby.

Org mode is the swiss army knife of content markup languages. It does a lot more than just content markup. But keep in mind that org-mode, markdown, asciidoc, etc don't afford much control on final layout. They're like plain HTML in function. LaTeX and Typst include more layout control - sort of like HTML with a little bit of CSS. This may not matter if you're preparing something like an article or document. But you may want more layout control for something like a CV.

Take a look at these templates I made a while back https://github.com/subidit/rover-resume

I tried to avoid custom commands and environments to keep it simple. Your content in org text should fit nicely with this.

It also has a template where the preamble is stored in different file such that you can try a different look by just un/commenting a different preamble file.

i've used rover resume before. thank you!

If you do not insist on org-mode, then maybe you can try to organize your CV in YAML format with a tool called YAMLResume: https://yamlresume.dev, which transforms a resume in YAML to LaTeX and generate PDF.
