Two column CV - Increasing personal info and adding description under the name












0














I'm trying to use the tccv class to build my curriculum

does someone know how to put my description under my name? I don't want it to be part of the half page format.

Also do you know how to add more info in the personal box and how to change the small symbol? I tried to add more lines for skype address, linkedin ecc but it breaks the format

I tried to do this modifications but I stil didn't find any solution, also I'm still a beginner with LaTex

      I'm trying to use the tccv class to build my curriculum

      does someone know how to put my description under my name? I don't want it to be part of the half page format.

      Also do you know how to add more info in the personal box and how to change the small symbol? I tried to add more lines for skype address, linkedin ecc but it breaks the format

      I tried to do this modifications but I stil didn't find any solution, also I'm still a beginner with LaTex
