Does anyone have a workaround to this problem? I am working on my CV, and want to use some rotated text to improve the presentation. Here is a MWE.
\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage[a4paper,inner=1.5cm, outer=1.5cm, top=2.5cm, bottom=2.5cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames,svgnames,table]{xcolor}

\usepackage{helvet}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[parfill]{parskip}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{titling}
%Set the format of tables.
\def\colMyBlue{NavyBlue}
\def\colMyGray{Grey}
\def\colMyDarkGray{white!25!black}
\def\colMyCalig{MidnightBlue}
\usepackage[compact]{titlesec}
\titleformat{\section}{\color{\colMyBlue}\Large\sc\bfseries}{\thesection}{}{}
\titleformat{\subsection}{\color{\colMyDarkGray}\sc}{\thesubsection}{}{}
\titlespacing\section{0pt}{0pt plus 0pt minus 0pt}{0pt plus 0pt minus 0pt}
\titlespacing\subsection{0pt}{0pt plus 0pt minus 0pt}{0pt plus 0pt minus 0pt}
\usepackage{lettrine}
\usepackage{graphicx, type1cm, blindtext} %The Lettrine Options.

\setlength{\DefaultSlope}{0pt}
\setlength{\DefaultFindent}{2pt}
\setlength{\DefaultNindent}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\DefaultLoversize}{0.05}
\renewcommand{\DefaultLhang}{0}
\renewcommand{\LettrineFontHook}{\color{\colMyDarkGray}\fontfamily{ptm}\fontseries{m}\fontshape{n}}
\renewcommand{\LettrineTextFont}{\color{\colMyDarkGray}\scshape}
\newcommand\myHrule{\vspace{1em}{\color{\colMyGray}\hrule}\vspace{1em}}
\title{Resum\'{e}\normalfont{~/~Curriculum Vit\ae}.}

\myHrule
\section*{Education}
\lipsum[2-3]
\section*{Employment History}
\lipsum[2-3]
\end{document}
Which is producing the following output:
Where I am having trouble is in the alignment of the rotated text, which I would like to either appear like:
Or bottom aligned:
The above desired outputs have been achieved via the \vspace{...} command, (in the negative and positive direction respectively). Whilst this does the job, it is fiddly, is there the equivalent to the raggedleft and raggedright, but in the rotated environment, in the rotated sense?
