Resume stuff
- LaTeX is a nice way to do it.
- Google?
Interview advice: http://www.catonmat.net/blog/my-job-interview-at-google/
What they want: http://www.google.com/jobs/joininggoogle/resume/index.html
Yale has some US-style resume examples, they're apparently always a single page: http://ucs.yalecollege.yale.edu/sites/default/files/AlumniSampleResumes.pdf
- Some templates
From the above, Nicolas Favre-Félix
Hm, this one was nicer for some reason, not the same: http://linux.dsplabs.com.au/files/p54-resume/examples/cv-nicolas-favre-felix.en.pdf
Some LaTeX resources: http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~csuros/latex.html
Draft it up in txt, worry about latex later: http://www.gratisoft.us/todd/resume.ascii
