Resume

I used to use Rob Kolstad's troff resume macros but my troff skills are pretty rusty these days and I figured it was a good excuse to learn some more LaTeX. One especially useful resource I discovered was Mathew Boedicker's LaTeX resume tips.

I reviewed a number of different LaTeX resumes and templates and finally settled on David Grant's template. Unfortunately, it uses the old shading.sty style which exhibits bugs on the version of teTeX I was using and doesn't work with pdflatex. I went looking for an alternate approach and found that color.sty, which is shipped with most TeX distributions, is capable of doing the shading.

After some fiddling to get everything looking the way I liked, I now have:

Feel free to adapt this for your own resume. It is certainly possible to add a bit of color if you like--I didn't want the resume to look too busy. If you'd like to add a border around the grey boxes, just change the \colorbox{mygrey} to \fcolorbox{black}{mygrey}.

I am not actively seeking employment at this time.
