I'm currently working on my resume and I've been using the res.cls template from Michael DeCorte. I know it's a bit dated but it works fine for me (at least up until now).
I'm currently trying to add a horizontal line below each of the section titles. The original had a line below the address and phone numbers but no lines after that. This was written as (with some tweaking on my part):
\moveleft0.009\hoffset\vbox{\hrule width\textwidth height .5pt}
The annoying thing is now I have a big space after this line before I get to the next line (company name and such). Of note, I don't have any issues in the sections that are followed immediately with \itemize.
So, for example, this is what I have for the experience section:
\begin{resume}
\section{EXPERIENCE} \smallskip
\moveleft0.009\hoffset\vbox{\hrule width\textwidth height .5pt}
{\bf COMPANY NAME} \hfill {\bf DATES} \\
{\sl POSITION} \hfill LOCATION
\begin{itemize} \itemsep -2pt
…and so on.
I've tried using \sectionskip=-0.5ex and such but it won't affect the sections I'm looking to change.
If anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it. I know I haven't provided too much information so let me know what would be beneficial for you.
Thank you!
