\renewenvironment{rSection}[1]{ % 1 input argument - section name
  \nameskip\nameskip
  \MakeUppercase{\bfseries #1} % Section title
  \sectionlineskip
  \hrule % Horizontal line
  \nameskip
  \begin{list}{}{ % List for each individual item in the section
    \setlength{\leftmargin}{0em} % Margin within the section
