Latex is a shibboleth that will get you points in the minds of certain types of engineers looking at your resume. Its a bad signal to evaluate candidates on, but it probably does have some effect.

You don't need to use latex to benefit from this though. Just use computer modern.

Every resume I've ever touched that was set in Computer Modern was from an academic type that was headed back to school in a year or two. Didn't matter if they knew it or not, their head was still in that game. They always go back.

I bias against those resumes now.

I make my CV with LaTeX (and compter modern) and a handmade template. I got an undergrad in business over a decade ago. I’m never going back to school.
