#12Since when is black-and-white "ugly"? What if the person looking at it first prints it on paper and then reads it offline? If I were ever to make a color CV, I'd make sure that it looks ok printed on a laser, BW printer. Or I'd make another version for BW only.

#17It's important to stick to the constraints of the medium. Lots of whitespace and visuals for online and one page for print. Also important to stay consistent with the rest of the site. Still looking for a clever way to integrate my portfolio directly into the resume without making the resume too cluttered.
P.S. In the market for a product management opportunity

Alternatively, make it a bit longer, so the third page is less empty. English titles of the French papers would make good sense. Also, I'd write a narrative for the intro instead of the "keyword list" (interests).

#19That's not just a nitpick. It's important. CVs grow to many pages of publications and when you apply for a job people will refer to your publication by number when discussing your CV with one another.
I do publication numbering like this:
\usepackage{bibentry}
%% cventry facility. Use \begin{cventries} and \end{cventries},
%% and in between you do \cventry[note]{bibkey}.
%% Numbering will go across cventry values
\newcommand\cventry[2][]{\item\bibentry{#2}. {\bf #1}}
\newcounter{cventryg}
\setcounter{cventryg}{0}
\newenvironment{cventries}{%
\begin{enumerate}%
\setcounter{enumi}{\the\value{cventryg}}}{%
\setcounter{cventryg}{\the\value{enumi}}%
\end{enumerate}}Re: Show HN: Open-sourcing my CV template [Helvetica, XeTeX, TikZ & Biblatex]
#20Mine is on GitHub as well, though in the form of a web service serving JSON objects instead of XeTeX.
