Hi,

I would suggest the moderncv class (I use it for my CV and some other regular members use it too). If you have TeX Live (preferably TeX Live2009) installed in your system, you can use the Package Manager (called tlmgr) to automatically download and install missing packages or classes.
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,...

My personal favorite is moderncv.

Kile is just an editor. You don't install packages on Kile. You install them in your underlying (La)TeX system.

If you're using Kile, however, you're probably running Linux, and if you're running Linux, you've probably got TeXlive installed. Depending on which version of TeXlive you have installed, there's a good chance moderncv is already installed. If it isn't, probably you could install it through the TeXlive tlmgr, or through some expansion packages available through your software package manager for your linux distro.

The TeX catalogue lists some suitable classes and packages [1]. Your Linux distribution may contain all of them since there should already be a complete LaTeX system installed.

you do not have to use peculiar class for CV, google online and you will find a lot of latex cv templates, pick up one you like and make it your own. dont forget to acknowledge the author by dropping an email
