A good place to start is here: https://jsonresume.org/ Provides a great structure and there are tons of templates which you can choose and customize easily.

That's a great resource. Another good one like that is https://creddle.io At the moment Creddle has awful support for exporting, making it almost useless to build a resume there, but if you choose to print as PDF then it's just as good as a PDF export.

Just realized how out of date my CV is. Last update 2012. Written in LaTeX, though I can't find my source at the moment... a little worrying. http://www.ajford.us/pages/curriculum-vitae.html EDIT: Forgot I came from US Academia, where CV is a long living document of your research and life work, not what we silly Americans call a Resume. Pardon me if this wasn't the kind of thing you were looking for.

I feel like I used to know the difference but now I don't. What do you folks do differently on a CV vs a resume?

Another strategy may be to focus less on the design of the CV, and more on the content. A couple of guides I've found useful are:

Niniane Wang - "How to Write a Killer Resume (for Software Engineers)" : http://ofb.net/~niniane/resume_howto.html

Steve Yegge - "Ten Tips for a (Slightly) Less Awful Resume " : http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com.au/2007/09/ten-tips-for-slig...

What do you guys think of plain-text CVs?

I've seen this advocated in numerous places (including the link to Steve Yegge's blog in shoo's comment) but have never brought myself to send off a .txt file. I feel like some people could see it as lazy or rushed, despite having spent more time that I'd like to admit wording and rewording my CV.
