I've been using Word for my resume up until a week ago but rewrote it in html+css because having to keep translated versions of the same document in sync started to become annoying. Now I have a simple pipeline where it builds the document from a text template with content filled from a given yaml file (e.g. `en.yml`, `fr.yml`). The result is self-contained html files in different languages based on the same outline & style. Feels a bit overengineered but turned out to be pretty neat. Oh, also I can see changes instantly in browser and save as pdf before the LaTeX engine is done compiling ;)
