CV / Resume class with good accompanying letter and document classes [closed]

I am refreshing my résumé and would like to use a class that works well stylistically with other classes for cover letters, research statements, and other documents. Quite often these documents have to be combined together into a single PDF for funding applications.

Because of this need to combine documents, I would like to find a CV class that has a coherent look and feel across the résumé, letters, other and documents. I would prefer something using LaTeX that:

• can be used to create normal documents that look similar to letter or article


• looks like a single column


• uses the same \section{} commands as a typical document, so that the document format can be kept consistent


• works with bibliographies and allows citations using eg. natbib.

From what I can see, I have two options:

1. A CV class that doesn't fiddle too much with the typical letter or report settings.


2. Creating a meta-class that defines fonts, page layout, etc, and then calls different standard / custom classes depending on whether I want to write a letter, a CV, or a document.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a class that would satisfy #1 above?
