I am searching endlessly for the Latex template for this type of resume. If anyone has the link then it would be immensely helpful! Thanks!

The original template as well as the code you are giving us is a bit of a mess ;-)
\href{http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/41/tex-latex-and-friends}{\bfseries A
nice place to hang out}
. \lineunder
macro to use predefined LaTeX
lengths, they can be changed to suit personal taste.\raggedright
which makes a ragged right margin.\small
which makes the current font smaller. If you
feel to need an even bigger font size, do as
Torbjørn
says in the comments and use either 11pt
or 12pt
. The whole thing was cluttered with changes of horizontal space,
which was obviously due to a positive parskip as well as spurious
spaces. I set the parindent
to zero, which can be done in this
case without any regrets.
I left the rest of the resume template untouched and recommend everybody not to use it.
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\newcommand{\lineunder}{\vspace*{-8pt} \\ \hspace*{-18pt} \hrulefill \\}
\renewcommand{\lineunder}{\par\hrulefill\bigbreak}
\newcommand{\header}[1]{{\large{\textsc{#1}}\par}\lineunder}
\newcommand{\school}[3]{\textbf{#1} #2 #3\par}
\raggedright
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\underline}{}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
%\small
\header{Research Interests}
\school{\href{http://www.northsouth.edu/}{\textbf{I am searching Zelda}}; Summer-2012;}
{\href{http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/41/tex-latex-and-friends}{A

\end{document}
I've hardly a leg to stand on here, but this is just a comparison to other documents I've seen.
Your resume is, in my honest opinion, an impenetrable wall of text. Your skills are completely hidden by ink. I would suggest you go with a more spread-out style, but that is of course your design choice and hardly anyone will say say 'Man, the character density on this page is extremely high.'
The rules beneath your titles are placed haphazardly and the spacing is noticeably uneven. (Compare 'Education' with 'Interests'.) This can easily be fixed by using techniques to maintain consistency.
As I said, the code is inconsistently structured.
You're giving typesetting commands when you should be giving structure commands—leaving the typesetting to the class and packages.
LaTeX documents are designed to separate the typesetting rules from structure from content.
When reading the main text, you should hardly ever come across an \hfill
, \vspace
, \addtolength
, or similar.
(There are exceptions, but these are few and far between.)
\sbullet
is clever,
but paralist
already provides intra-paragraph list options.titlesec
package to customize how text marked with \section
looks.
(There's even the pre-cooked ability to add title rules!)Blah blah: blah, blahlet, blahsophet, …
),
you really should (logically speaking) be using a description
list.itemize
environment, you are setting several lengths.
It would be more appropriate to create your own environment that has these lengths pre-defined or, better yet, use the enumitem
package to do so globally.--
ligature was designed for ranges; you'll find it looks more pleasing to the eye, too.\emph
when you really mean to italicize.
\emph
is design to switch back and forth depending on context,
whereas \textit
will always be italicized.
In this case, you know exactly how you want it typeset all the time,
so IMO you can be specific.
(But not here! This should be defined in your structure definitions.)Point that should be absorbed but ignored in favor of a package based solution:
When you begin any group—as you do when you start a new environment like itemize
—changes you make to lengths and such are local to the group unless explicitly stated otherwise.
So, you could rather have said
\begin{itemize}
\setlength{\itemsep}{0cm}
\setlength{\parskip}{0cm}
\addtolength{\leftskip}{-5mm}
\item Languages: Python (Active Tutor and Speaker), …
\item Typesetting \& Markup Packages: reST (rst), …
\item Statistics Languages \& Packages: R Statistics …
\end{itemize}
Of course, it would be better to represent this specific example as a proper description
list and modify its appearance with enumitem
.
Feel free to ignore any and all of these.
\textsl
in my own resume,
but this of course is wrapped by a more descriptive \program
macro.)A complete example implementation is available as a gist. It includes the very class I use for my resume and modifies your preamble and example content to be more 'LaTeXy'.
If you'd like to see what it looks like, you can download the PDF directly from the gist.

The full template you posted itself is here:

You can compile directly with pdflatex.
And Ted's Home Page is also here with lots of stuff:
