I am trying to save space in my CV, so now please see this picture of it:

enter image description here

Notice how Skills is aligned with its content, without leaving any blank line. However, Languages leaves too much empty space (like a blank line) and then continues. I would like it to be exactly as with Skills.

Here is my code:

\documentclass[margin,line]{res}
\usepackage[colorlinks=true ,urlcolor=blue,urlbordercolor={0 1 1}]{hyperref}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\setlist[itemize]{leftmargin=*}
\usepackage{url}
\oddsidemargin -.5in
\evensidemargin -.5in
\textwidth=6.0in
\itemsep=0in
\parsep=0in
\topmargin=0in
\topskip=0in
\newcommand{\tab}{\hspace*{2em}}
\usepackage{multicol}
\newcommand{\Myoops}[1]{\textit{#1}}
\usepackage{graphicx}
...
\section{\sc Languages}
\begin{multicols}{4}
\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*]
  \item English (C2)
  \item German (B1)
  \item Italian (A1)
  \item Greek (native)
\end{itemize}
\end{multicols}

Also notice that this question did not solve the issue. I am also open in throwing away the list, as long as I can display my languages in one line fashion, while keeping them nicely separated.

    If this depends specifically on res.cls, would you mind including that code or posting a link to it? That is, does the problem still exist if you use a standard document class? – Arun Debray Dec 28 '15 at 18:10
  • To having the reader focus on the part that I think generates the issue. I will post the res.cls now, of course. – gsamaras Dec 28 '15 at 18:12

Try to use the inline option and itemize* instead of itemize

\documentclass[margin,line]{res}
\usepackage[inline]{enumitem}

\setlist[itemize]{leftmargin=*}
\usepackage{url}
\oddsidemargin -.5in
\evensidemargin -.5in
\textwidth=6.0in
\itemsep=0in
\parsep=0in
\topmargin=0in
\topskip=0in
\newcommand{\tab}{\hspace*{2em}}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\usepackage[colorlinks=true ,urlcolor=blue,urlbordercolor={0 1 1}]{hyperref}

\newcommand{\Myoops}[1]{\textit{#1}}
\begin{document}
\section{\sc Languages}
  \begin{itemize*}[leftmargin=*,itemjoin={\quad}]
  \item English (C2)
  \item German (B1)
  \item Italian (A1)
  \item Greek (native)
\end{itemize*}

\end{document}

  • Christian thanks! This is almost perfect, it worked. However, wouldn't it be nice to have some space between every item? – gsamaras Dec 28 '15 at 18:16

    @gsamaras: Ah, yes: Use itemjoin={\quad}, for example (or two \quad\quad) –  Dec 28 '15 at 18:19
  • Hey Christian, sorry for jumping into this again but I decided I want to use that again, now for two list items per row, however, I cannot see where you specified that the list items were 4 in my question at that time. Should I ask a new question or it is easy? – gsamaras Jul 24 '16 at 09:02
  • @gsamaras: There's no such option as far as I know, but you can use a \\\ after two items –  Jul 24 '16 at 15:39
  • That's a bit ugly, since the li's are not vertically aligned properly and the space between the two rows is too little. I went via this solution, thanks! :) – gsamaras Jul 24 '16 at 20:50
  • @gsamaras: Well, yes. It's another question anyway –  Jul 24 '16 at 20:51
  • You are right Christian, sorry, I went ahead and posted a new question. – gsamaras Jul 24 '16 at 22:17
