Shameless plug for my html resume template, https://github.com/chucklarge/html-resume-template I used to use LaTeX but couldn't figure out how to style it exactly as i needed. If you do use LaTeX, use the \LaTeX function.

You also have to be in a culture/environment which appreciates and encourages learning from failure, rather than placing blame. See what we do at Etsy. http://codeascraft.etsy.com/2012/05/22/blameless-postmortems
