To right-align a column, put the following in your preamble:

\usepackage{tabularx}
\newcolumntype{C}[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash}p{#1}} % centered Column
\newcolumntype{R}[1]{>{\raggedleft\arraybackslash}p{#1}} % right-aligned

Now you can youse C{WIDTH} and R{WIDTH} instead of p{WIDTH}.

Check out this other post, paragraph 1.3 – Styling Itemization. I use enumitem, which controls both the custom style and the spacing

Hi Alessandro,

you used a bullet point under your work experience, what package did you use? How did you control the spacing?

That’s wonderful, thanks Nicolas.

I’ll make sure to post the code using eqparbox as soon as I can!

Hey buddy,
why not using eqparbox ? It’s precisely the kind of job it was made for…

I haven’t tested it, but I’m pretty sure I set \parbox only for the biggest item, and only for that item.

If you don’t constrain within parbox the other cells in a right-aligned tabular environment should align to the right just fine.

Nice Work, but i didn’t get it how you set the date right aligned?

parbox makes it block so the first row is always block aligned.
Could you please explain it more detailed or print the final source code?

thx Martin
