Best Answer

Redefine the environment for cvitems. Add before \begin{document}

% Redefine the environment for cvitems
\renewenvironment{cvitems}{%
    \vspace{-4.0mm}
    \begin{justify}
        \begin{itemize}[leftmargin=2ex, nosep, noitemsep]
            \normalsize % added <<<<<<<<<<<<<
            \setlength{\parskip}{0pt}
            \renewcommand{\labelitemi}{\bullet}
        }{%
        \end{itemize}
    \end{justify}
    \vspace{-4.0mm}
}

You can try changing \normalisize to \large.

[Tex/LaTex] How to increase the font size of \section

As already said you have to use \makeatletter and \makeatother because in Tex @ ist used as special character for internal commands. If you really want to change the format this way you have to change the defaults. Here is a minimal working example:

\documentclass{article}

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\section{\@startsection {section}{1}{\z@}%
    {-3.5ex \@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}%
    {2.3ex \@plus.2ex}%
    {\normalfont\Huge\bfseries}}
\makeatother

\begin{document}
    \section{test}
\end{document}

It might be easier to use a special package like titlesec

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\section}{\Huge\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{}

\begin{document}
    \section{test}
\end{document}

or sectsty

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{sectsty}
\sectionfont{\Huge\bfseries}

\begin{document}
    \section{test}
\end{document}

Or if you are using Koma Script you can eaily do:

\documentclass{scrartcl}

\setkomafont{section}{\Huge\bfseries}
\begin{document}
    \section{test}
\end{document}

I wouldn't recommand to change the section format directly. I would use Koma-Script or titlesec

[Tex/LaTex] How to increase the size of footnote counters used

You can redefine the footnote counter printing macro \thefootnote:

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\setlength{\textheight}{100pt}% Just for this example
\usepackage{footmisc}% http://ctan.org/pkg/footmisc
\usepackage{relsize}% http://ctan.org/pkg/relsize
\renewcommand\footnotelayout{\Large}
\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\larger[2]\arabic{footnote}}%
\begin{document}
Here is some text\footnote{This is a footnote} and some more text.
\end{document}

I've used relsize that provides \smaller[<i>] and \larger[<i>] to decrease/increase the font size by <i> steps. Although this is not necessary, it merely shows what can be done. Alternatively, you can also just use

\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\large\arabic{footnote}}

where \large is the font size you want.
