    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.
