Twenty Seconds CV

Post by miaunala23 »

Hi everyone!

Like many people on here, I, too, struggle partially w/ the twenty seconds CV.
In particular my problem is w/ the Interests section.

My code is as follows (for the section Interests):

Code: Select all

\section{Interests}

\begin{twentyshort} % Environment for a short list with no descriptions
	\twentyitemshort{Students' \\ union}{Liaising with university's executive board and local politicians, debating and voting on university budgets and students' welfare issues}
	\twentyitemshort{Commissions \\ of student \\ union}{Education policy Commission; International and Solidarity Commissions, Campus-council Oerlikon: Drafting position papers and press releases, dealing with political stakeholders, political campaigns}
	\twentyitemshort{Blog \\ 'Chaesfondue'}{Essays on political issues and events}
	\twentyitemshort{YES-Resolution \\ Contest 2020}{Resolution on ’European foreign trade in the context of resurging nationalismand protectionism’}
	%\twentyitemshort{1865}{Chapter Five,  Advice from a Caterpillar.}
	%\twentyitemshort{<dates>}{<title/description>}
\end{twentyshort}
As the space on the lefthand side originally was for dates (eg 1898-1907), I had to add a line, as I was using more text than this space would fit. However, this also moved down the text on the right-hand side by one line.

My question is: How can I remove the extra line on the right-hand side, so the text on the right will be on the same level as the beginning of the text on the left side?
