Page Layout ⇒ latex template or example for personal statement

[lehe]

Hi,

I am writing a personal statement in latex. I don't want the big margin at the top of the page not big title taking a lot of space. I just like to make the layout compact but still clearly spaced with title, name and other necessary information, since there may be restriction on the number of pages. One example would be http://www.hsc.unt.edu/education/CIM/Do ... %5F000.pdf. I wonder where to find some good latex templates or examples?

Thanks and regards!

Just looks like a standard document. Use the geometry package for setting the margins and do the title by hand (rather than using \maketitle).
