Curricula Vitae / Résumés ⇒ Increasing Space In Entry Section

[templateuser]

Hello,

I need to increase the amount of space between the 'years employed' and the company name in the experience entry list.

If I try to put a 'years employed' like 'February 2012 - January 2013' into the template the company name and years employed run together.

Thanks
Alay

Hi,

You'll need to go into friggeri-cv.cls and change the line: "\begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{@{\extracolsep{\fill}}ll}" to be set to a fixed width like this: "\begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{p{4.5cm}ll}".

You then need to adjust the width of the right side by changing line: "#1&\parbox[t]{11.8cm}{%" to a smaller value like this: "#1&\parbox[t]{9.8cm}{%".

You might have to tinker with the specific values depending on how wide you want the year column. I really wouldn't recommend you use full month names, in the very least use "Feb 2012--Jan 2013".

Cheers,
Vel

Thank you.

That worked and I appreciate your help.

Since I have rudimentary Latex knowledge, I was wondering if you could possibly explain to me why your solution worked, to help me improve my knowledge.

Thanks
