It happens to everybody eventually. The constraints of the "RealWorld" require them to get a job. And that process typically requires these funny peices of paper called resumes.

My resume is done in LaTeX?. You can get the original TeX? file [here]. That file, in turn, is based on a sample I found [here]. I used OpenOffice? for my resume for a while, but its table formatting and bullet weirdness just got to me after a while. LaTeX? is much easier, and makes much nicer PDFs.
