I'm trying to edit this LaTex template, which I downloaded from https://www.overleaf.com, into my desired CV.
Here is its code:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Simple LaTeX CV Template %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%% NOTE: If you find that it says %%
%% %%
%% 1 of ?? %%
%% %%
%% at the bottom of your first page, this means that the AUX file %%
%% was not available when you ran LaTeX on this source. Simply RERUN %%
%% LaTeX to get the ``??'' replaced with the number of the last page %%
%% of the document. The AUX file will be generated on the first run %%
%% of LaTeX and used on the second run to fill in all of the %%

% PAPER SIZE, PAGE NUMBER, AND DOCUMENT LAYOUT NOTES:
%
% The next \usepackage line changes the layout for CV style section
% headings as marginal notes. It also sets up the paper size as either
% letter or A4. By default, letter was used. If A4 paper is desired,
% comment out the letterpaper lines and uncomment the a4paper lines.
%
% As you can see, the margin widths and section title widths can be
% easily adjusted.
%
% ALSO: Notice that the includefoot option can be commented OUT in order
% to put the PAGE NUMBER *IN* the bottom margin. This will make the
% effective text area larger.
%
% IF YOU WISH TO REMOVE THE ``of LASTPAGE'' next to each page number,
% see the note about the +LP and -LP lines below. Comment out the +LP
% and uncomment the -LP.
%
% IF YOU WISH TO REMOVE PAGE NUMBERS, be sure that the includefoot line
% is uncommented and ALSO uncomment the \pagestyle{empty} a few lines
% below.

and its output:
- I would like to ask how to change the circle bullet to square bullet like this one.
I got that this setting is controlled by this below code, but don't know how to do.
% An itemize-style list with lots of space between items
\newenvironment{outerlist}[1][\enskip\textbullet]%
{\begin{itemize}[#1]}{\end{itemize}%

- I would like to ask how to remove the indent right before the circle bullet, but couldn't figure out how to do.
Thank you for your help!

bbdingand the symbol name\SquareCastShadowBottomRight(see the code snippet below marked by Q1). But there is a conflict with the packagemarvosymused in your code (the\Crosscommand is defined in both packages). Therefore, one should write something like\let\Cross\relax(see the complete code below). Finally, to change the label, you can writeTo avoid the white space beffor the label of an item, you should consider the change of the
leftmarginkey of anenumitemlist. See the code snippet above marked by Q2 (you can justify the value of this key according to your preferences).Notice that you have to write the
%sign after\def\halfblankline{\vspace{0.1in}}beforeDr. \textbf{Y Dinh Le}. Without the%the compilation produces extra white space before theDr. \textbf{Y Dinh Le}.Also, consider to change the
leftmarginkey for theenumeratepart with Selected publications. In my opinion, this value should be equal to theleftmarginforitemizelists. But in this case, I propose to enlarge the current value1.2em.The line with Homepage is too wide.
Code...
The output is as follows...
