I like it!

At some point I also created my own template, it is very different as it tries to be "classic" instead of "modern".

Find it here, and let me know what you think.

It's also on ShareLatex for those who want to use it straight from a great and free-for-personal-use web application.

Any particular reason Education section comes towards the end. Almost all profiles I have seen it is at the top.

PS: What a coincidence I was born on jun 12 too.

You want the most important thing first. For new graduates education will (almost always) be first. For those with experience it typically comes last, where it's also distinctive but less prominent.

So I'm guessing you've mostly seen resumes for students and recent graduates.

Hmm. I am from India, and most resumes I have seen here, even for people with lot of experience, education section is at the top. I just stuck with that format.

I appreciate the 'classic' look. One issue... You talk about yourself in the third person.

I saw it (3rd person talking) once in a CV and liked it. Do you consider it wrong?
