[Tex/LaTex] Change Awesome CV layout

Question

I'm using awesome-cv.cls and it's amazing. However, one thing that I want would be to change the job title to be beside the company name as well as the date to be beside location. In my attached screenshot for example, would it be possible to make it be

TD Bank | SOLUTIONS DEVELOPER & DEVELOPMENT LEAD 

and

May 2017-Sept 2017 | Toronto, ON 

(while maintaining their respective style). What I mean would be to align them horizontally, instead of vertically. I looked at awesome-cv.cls and noticed that I should change cv information. However, I was not sure how to actually modify it.

This is the code seen there.

% Define an entry of cv information
% Usage: \cventry{<position>}{<title>}{<location>}{<date>}{<description>}
\newcommand*{\cventry}[5]{
  \setlength\tabcolsep{0pt}
  \setlength{\extrarowheight}{0pt}
  \begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{@{\extracolsep{\fill}} L{12.5cm} R{4.5cm}}
    \ifempty{#2#3}
      {\entrypositionstyle{#1} & \entrydatestyle{#4} \\}
      {\entrytitlestyle{#2} & \entrylocationstyle{#3} \\
      \entrypositionstyle{#1} & \entrydatestyle{#4} \\}
    \multicolumn{2}{L{17cm}}{\descriptionstyle{#5}} \\
  \end{tabular*}
}

And this is the minimal starting code

%!TEX TS-program = xelatex
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
\documentclass[]{awesome-cv}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\fontdir[fonts/]
\newcommand*{\sectiondir}{resume/}

\definecolor{text}{HTML}{000000}
\begin{document}
\begin{cventries}
    \cventry
    {Solutions Developer \& Development Lead}
    {TD Bank}
    {Toronto, ON}
    {May 2017 – Sept 2017}
    {\begin{cvitems}
            \item {TEST}
    \end{cvitems}}
\end{cventries}
\end{document}

Answer 1

Well, you need to redefine command \cventry or better to define a new command \mycventry like this (see the line marked with <=====):

% Define an entry of cv information
% Usage: \cventry{<position>}{<title>}{<location>}{<date>}{<description>}
\newcommand*{\mycventry}[5]{%
  \setlength\tabcolsep{0pt}
  \setlength{\extrarowheight}{0pt}
  \begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{@{\extracolsep{\fill}} L{12.5cm} R{4.5cm}}
    \ifempty{#2#3}
      {\entrypositionstyle{#1} & \entrydatestyle{#4} \\}
      {\entrytitlestyle{#2} | \entrypositionstyle{#1} & \entrylocationstyle{#3} | \entrydatestyle{#4}\\ % <================================================================
      }
    \multicolumn{2}{L{17cm}}{\descriptionstyle{#5}} \\
  \end{tabular*}
}

With the following complete code

\documentclass[11pt, a4paper]{awesome-cv}

%\usepackage{multicol}
\geometry{%
  showframe,
  left=2cm, top=1.5cm, right=2cm, bottom=2cm, footskip=.5cm
} % Configure page margins with geometry
\usepackage{graphicx}
\fontdir[fonts/] % Specify the location of the included fonts
\usepackage[autostyle=true,german=quotes]{csquotes}
%\usepackage{polyglossia}
%\setdefaultlanguage[spelling=new]{german}

\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{parallel}


% Color for highlights
\colorlet{awesome}{awesome-skyblue} % Default colors include: awesome-emerald, awesome-skyblue, awesome-red, awesome-pink, awesome-orange, awesome-nephritis, awesome-concrete, awesome-darknight
\colorlet{emphasis}{black}
\colorlet{body}{black!80!white}
%\definecolor{awesome}{HTML}{CA63A8} % Uncomment if you would like to specify your own color

\renewcommand{\acvHeaderSocialSep}{\quad\textbar\quad} % If you would like to change the social information separator from a pipe (|) to something else

% Define an entry of cv information
% Usage: \cventry{<position>}{<title>}{<location>}{<date>}{<description>}
\newcommand*{\mycventry}[5]{%
  \setlength\tabcolsep{0pt}
  \setlength{\extrarowheight}{0pt}
  \begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{@{\extracolsep{\fill}} L{12.5cm} R{4.5cm}}
    \ifempty{#2#3}
      {\entrypositionstyle{#1} & \entrydatestyle{#4} \\}
      {\entrytitlestyle{#2} | \entrypositionstyle{#1} & \entrylocationstyle{#3} | \entrydatestyle{#4}\\ % <================================================================
      }
    \multicolumn{2}{L{17cm}}{\descriptionstyle{#5}} \\
  \end{tabular*}
}

\begin{cvitems}

\end{cvitems}
}

\cventry
{Something} % Degree
{Highschool} % Institution
{Springfield} % Location
{2025} % Date(s)
{ % Description(s) bullet points
\begin{cvitems}
\item {Test, Test, Test}
\end{cvitems}
}

\cventry
{Something else} % Degree
{University} % Institution
{Springfield} % Location
{2025} % Date(s)
{ % Description(s) bullet points
\begin{cvitems}
\item {Test, Test, Test}
\item {Test, Test, Test}
\item {Test, Test, Test}
\end{cvitems}
}

\end{cventries}

\end{document}

you get then the result:

Please see that I only used the new command \mycventry for the first two entrys, marked with red arrows.
