How do I indent option 6 of \cventry?

Question

I would like to use bullet points in my CV, but I do not like the look of it directly under the title text. I have:

\cventry{start-end}{More description about job title}
{Project I work on}{}{}{\begin{itemize}\item First bullet 
point about what I do \item Second item about what I do \end{itemize}}

If I don't itemize the list and just add \hspace{5mm} and \newline\hspace*{5mm} it's fine, but I like the look of bullet points. Anyone have suggestions?

Answer 1

You can use the functionality of enumitem to adjust the leftmargin:

\documentclass{moderncv}

\moderncvtheme[blue]{classic}

\firstname{Some}
\familyname{Dude}
\title{CV}

\usepackage{enumitem}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\section{Using cventry:}
\cventry
  {start-end}
  {More description about job title}
  {Project I work on}
  {}
  {}
  {\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=2em,nosep]
    \item First bullet point about what I do
    \item Second item about what I do
  \end{itemize}}

\end{document}

The listing structure in moderncv tends to be quite dense (or tight), hence the addition of nosep to remove the insertion of any vertical spacing.

Try this simple command

\hspace*{.5em}

e.g.

\cventry{year--year}{degree or job title}{institution or employer}{city}{grade}
{\hspace*{.5em} description}
