Your choice is big indeed! Right? Um, CTAN is a bit overwhelming. Early on, I discovered CurVe there. It worked for me until it didn't. I think CurVe was a nice format for a CV that isn't very extensive. But when I recently rewrote mine, I was attempting to put my twenty-six-year career in perspective on _two_ pages. I stumbled on Currvita and it worked like a charm. I'm not very imaginative when it comes to making lists about myself and this CTAN package was one of the easiest methods I have ever used for building my resume. With TeXLive 2008 (or 2007?) installed, do texdoc currvita It takes a second to for TeX to build you a Currvita manual, but you'll be glad you did.
