Hello users,
after a PhD thesis written in LaTeX, several years ago, and many years now spent fighting with MS Word documents and articles, mostly because the vast majority of my colleagues use MS Word, here I am back giving LaTeX another go.
My interest at this time is to maintain a Curriculum Vitae up-to-date, and to get that done I am hoping to keep sections of my curriculum in different .tex files, acting as an information repository, in fact, and load these pieces of information as a function of what I need to insert in my CV each time.
I will try to get that done using LyX. If am getting stuck with LyX, I'll go back to LaTeX.
See you soon!
Yours,
Massimo, Rome, Italy.

Hi Massimo,

welcome to the forum!

Also I used LaTeX for my CV. There are fancy templates, such as here: http://www.latextemplates.com/cat/curricula-vitae.
I used tabularx for positioning my CV data (without lines, of course). Basic and clean, done with scrartcl. For the letter of an application, I used scrlttr2 with a customized header and footer. I decided to add the same header and footer to the CV page.

Stefan
