Re: Limecv – A LaTeX CV Document Class
#2I used to do my resume in LaTeX and it was gorgeous. I switched it to an uglier document in Word because most of the time my resume was getting put into some semi-automated flow and even a LaTeX-generated PDF file didn't do the job.

#3Do any interviewers notice resumes that are written in LaTeX compared to ones that aren't?

I did the same, specifically because my 2-column layout gets mangled by most ATS import processes. limecv has the same issue.

I would, probably, depending on the level of customization.

#6I've been using this one for my resume and I love it:

As a hiring manager, I much prefer simpler resumes that are easy to scan. I don't really like the "five stars" self-rating stuff, however. It feels a little strange to distill one's language knowledge down to a number.
One thing I do love is when people include some of their notable open source projects. This gives me a chance to learn about their interests and see their skills first-hand.
Here's my LaTeX resume, built with res.cls and including a section about my OSS work:

Also: never, ever put a photograph of yourself in your resume. You're just asking for someone to judge you based on your looks, gender, age, or ethnicity. Likewise, don't put your age. If you've been around for a while, trim everything but the last 5-10 years of positions off your resume to avoid the unfortunate but oh-so-common ageism. Even old hiring managers can be ageist! Don't give anyone a chance to judge you on irrelevant characteristics until you've firmly established your appeal to the employer.

I definitely do. I automatically give plus points in my head even though I know I shouldn't.

I started doing my CV in Pandoc Markdown for this reason. I usually produce a nice-looking CV PDF via LaTeX, but if I need Microsoft Word or plain text I can convert to that too.

In a number of European countries it's common/required to include a headshot on your CV. Birthdate is also often included. But I agree that, whenever possible, don't include this information.
