A CV in LaTeX does not have to be typesetted in Computer Modern nor have a dry "LaTeX feel". Using XeTeX, TikZ, fontspec and Open Type fonts you can do fun stuff that look gorgeous.

The great thing for me is that I can directly import my .bib and all my publications are automagically included in my CV. My attempt: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3809633/cv_adrien_friggeri.pdf (slightly out of date, should recompile and update)
