With the following codes

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{report}


\begin{document}


\section*{Work Experience}
  \begin{tabular}{r|p{13cm}}
 \textsc{Sebt.2011-Now}
 & Teaching Assistant, Department of Mathematics,

  & Delivered courses: ......\\

The column p{13cm} is too wide and produces an Overfull hbox.

I suggest to use tabularx with an X column type.

Moreover, instead of writing \textsc{...} in every cell of the first column, you can create a new colum type this way \newcolumntype{R}{>{\scshape}r} with array package.

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{array}
\newcolumntype{R}{>{\scshape}r}
\begin{document}
\section*{Work Experience}
\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{R|X}
 Sebt.2011-Now
 & Teaching Assistant, Department of Mathematics,
  University of California, Santa Barbara.\\
  & Delivered courses: ......\\
  \multicolumn{2}{c}{} \\
 Feb.2011-May 2011
  & Substitute teacher at ....%\\
\end{tabularx}
\end{document}

  • Please if I add \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} and I hope to write for example Gabès it doen't compilate. However with \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} it complilates well. Where is the problem? Thank you. – Schüler Dec 03 '18 at 06:11
  • @Schüler It depends on the input encoding of your editor, see here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/19427/how-do-i-change-the-encoding-of-my-files – CarLaTeX Dec 03 '18 at 06:15
