CV/resume entry

Question

I would like to create a "command" that does this for me:

\cventry{jobtitle}{organisation}{date}{description}{bulletpoint...}

such as:

\cventry{Potato peeler}{TESCO}{1999 -- to date}{
Responsible for the peeling of all potatoes}{
Sped-up potato peeling by 15 percent}{
Increased potatoes' smoothness by 20 percent as measured by 2004 customer survey}

yielding:

\textbf{Potato peeler} \hfill 1999 -- to date \\
TESCO \\
Responsible for the peeling of all potatoes \\
\begin{list2}
  \item Sped-up potato peeling by 15 percent
  \item Increased potatoes' smoothness by 20 percent as measured by 2004 customer survey
\end{list2}

Notice the varargs nature of the {bulletpoints...} "argument", by that I mean that the "command" could accept just one parameter, two parameters, n parameters, and still work precisely as intended.

Please provide a code example.

Optional: in your code, if it's possible in TeX/LaTeX (I don't know), allow creation of a "CV entry" data structure to hold all data pertaining to a single "CV entry" (title, dates, bullet-point array, ...) and an "array"/"list" of such objects so that the latter may be passed to a "lay out CV entry" function, which would simply typeset each "CV entry" in turn, and then layout the "CV entry" according to the spec above".

Thanks a lot for your help, I think I will learn a lot from this answer so I am grateful in advance for your input.

To make this task, a new environment seems better:

\documentclass{article}
\pagestyle{empty}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\setlist{noitemsep}
\newenvironment{cventry}[4]{%
  \textbf{#1}\hfill#3\par#2\par#4\par%
  \begin{itemize}% or other customized list environment
  }{\end{itemize}}

\begin{document}

\begin{cventry}{Potato peeler}{TESCO}{1999 -- to date}%
{Responsible for the peeling of all potatoes}
  \item Sped-up potato peeling by 15 percent
  \item Increased potatoes' smoothness by 20 percent as measured by 2004
    customer survey
\end{cventry}

\end{document}
