tccv (two columns curriculum vitae) is a LaTeX class inspired by the template found at latextemplates by Alessandro Plasmati.

From a TeXnical point of view this is a complete rewrite. From the user perspective, the most relevant differences from the original template are:

• this is a class, not a template document;
• more than one page are handled properly;
• the fonts are selected from the psnfss collection, so no custom font installation should be required;
• it is plain LaTeX/Koma-script, so the CV can be compiled with the usual tools, latex and pdflatex included;
• the implementation is heavily based on custom environments and macros, so the document should be much easier to read (and customize);
• tccv is based on scrartcl (from Koma-script), not on article.

You can download the zipped tarball that includes a couple of examples or pick only the relevant LaTeX class.

The code is maintained in a git repository browsable online. A clone of that repository can be found on github: fill free to fork it and extends in any way you like.

A sample PDF generated by the above class is available online.

The \personal box by default follows the text flow. If you want to affix it on the top (or on the bottom) you can make it a float, e.g.:

% In the preamble
\usepackage{float}
\newfloat{myfloat}{t}{} % 'myfloat' is arbitrary, 't' stands for 'top'

% Then wrap your personal data using the newly created custom float
\begin{myfloat}
\personal[url]
         {address}
         {phone}
         {email}
\end{myfloat}

For some reason LyX (at least up to 2.1.3) escapes the brackets of the \personal optional argument, scattering the URL letters all around. If this is the case if you look at the source window you should see something like {[}www.myweb.site{]} instead of [www.myweb.site].

To solve this problem just readd the argument as TeX code by eventually using the CTRL-l shortcut.
