I needed a sample LaTeX vita file in the early 1980's. I had logins on various math department servers, so I searched from root on each machine, and decided to base my vita on David Mumford's vita source file.

That says something about privacy in the era. I felt that what I did was entirely in the spirit of the default file permissions. Various people were nevertheless horrified when they learned that this search was even possible.

LaTeX's typesetting really stands out in a resume though. It looks gorgeous on screen or on paper. The spacing between letters and words is perfect.
