[Tex/LaTex] Decrease vertical space between cventries

awesome-cvcvspacing

This must be easy for you, but I am quite unable to get it right. Here is my code:

\cvsection{Education}
\begin{cventries}
 \cventry
  {B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering} % Degree
  {POSTECH(Pohang University of Science and Technology)} % Institution
  {Pohang, S.Korea} % Location
  {Mar. 2010 - PRESENT} % Date(s)
  {}
 \cventry
  {B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering} % Degree
  {POSTECH(Pohang University of Science and Technology)} % Institution
  {Pohang, S.Korea} % Location
  {Mar. 2010 - PRESENT} % Date(s)
  {}
\end{cventries}

I want to decrease vertical space between two \cventry items. Here is my current output.

The used class for this resume is awesome-cv.cls.

You can either patch the \cventry macro to reduce the space inserted after it using etoolbox:

\usepackage{etoolbox}
\patchcmd{\cventry}% <cmd>
  {\\ \end{tabular*}}% <search>
  {\\[-.5\normalbaselineskip]\end{tabular*}}% <replace>
  {}{}% <success><failure>

The above can be inserted just before \begin{document} and will provide a global change to the \cventry macro.

Alternatively, on a case-by-case basis, you can insert something like

\vspace{-.5\baselineskip}

between \cventrys.

This is because you're using \cline{x-y}\\ instead of just \cline{x-y}.

The horizontal line specifications (\hline, \cline or otherwise) are specified at the beginning of every line. Therefore, including an ending \\ in their construction issues another empty line in the tabular.

[Tex/LaTex] In Awesome-cv template, how can I change all upper case letters to a mix of lower and upper case letters

The formatting of the first argument of \cvitem in awesome-cv is controlled by \entrypositionstyle which is defined as follows in awesome-cv.sty:

\newcommand*{\entrypositionstyle}[1]{{\fontsize{8pt}{1em}\bodyfont\scshape\color{graytext} #1}}

To get rid of the all caps (\scshape), one can use the following command

\renewcommand*{\entrypositionstyle}[1]{{\fontsize{8pt}{1em}\bodyfont\color{graytext} #1}}

in the preamble of the document as shown in the following MWE:

\documentclass[11pt, a4paper]{awesome-cv}
\renewcommand*{\entrypositionstyle}[1]{{\fontsize{8pt}{1em}\bodyfont\color{graytext} #1}}

\begin{document}
\cvsection{Education}
\begin{cventries}
  \cventry
    {B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering}
    {POSTECH(Pohang University of Science and Technology)}
    {Pohang, S.Korea}
    {Mar. 2010 - PRESENT}
    {
      \begin{cvitems}
        \item {Got a Chun Shin-Il Scholarship which is given to promising students in CSE Dept.}
      \end{cvitems}
    }
\end{cventries}
\end{document}
