I need to increase the room in the information sections of each entry, so that the margin on the right side of the page is not so large. For example, the first employment experience entry is Lehman Brothers and the author put some information about what he did at the company. I'd like to increase the horizontal space those entries take up, all throughout the document so that there isn't so much empty space on the right side of the page.
I'm assuming the code is somewhere in the pre-amble of the document, which is this:
\documentclass{scrartcl}
\reversemarginpar % Move the margin to the left of the page
\newcommand{\MarginText}[1]{\marginpar{\raggedleft\itshape\small#1}} % New command defining the margin text style
\usepackage[nochapters]{classicthesis} % Use the classicthesis style for the style of the document
\usepackage[LabelsAligned]{currvita} % Use the currvita style for the layout of the document
\renewcommand{\cvheadingfont}{\LARGE\color{Maroon}} % Font color of your name at the top
\usepackage{hyperref} % Required for adding links and customizing them
\hypersetup{colorlinks, breaklinks, urlcolor=Maroon, linkcolor=Maroon} % Set link colors
\newlength{\datebox}\settowidth{\datebox}{Spring 2011} % Set the width of the date box in each block
\newcommand{\NewEntry}[3]{\noindent\hangindent=2em\hangafter=0\parbox{\datebox}{\small \textit{#1}}\hspace{1.5em} #2 #3 % Define a command for each new block - change spacing and font sizes here: #1 is the left margin, #2 is the italic date field and #3 is the position/employer/location field
\vspace{0.5em}} % Add some white space after each new entry
\newcommand{\Description}[1]{\hangindent=2em\hangafter=0\noindent\raggedright\footnotesize{#1}\par\normalsize\vspace{1em}} % Define a command for descriptions of each entry - change spacing and font sizes here
I'm using this template: http://www.latextemplates.com/template/classicthesis-styled-cv
What must I edit or add to make the right margin smaller, and have the text in every entry fill up the space that's been taken from the margin? I hope my question makes sense. Essentially, I need to make all the paragraphs in the document wider.

I have a workaround for you, but first.
1) Templates built by someone else are always problematic.
2) When you make a change in a template, there are often unexpected, surprising, and often ugly results.
3) Personally, I would recommend that you build your own resume document using the memoir class, which has excellent documentation.
Now for this specific problem do the following.
Put this line immediately before the
\begin{document}lineYou can adjust the four margins to your specific requirements.
The results are as follows:
