Hi I am trying to fix the following piece of code. I would like the entry to tabular to extend to second line if it the sentences are too long. However, with this piece of code, the table entry extends beyond page width.
\begin{rSection}{IT and language}
\begin{tabular}{ @{} >{\bfseries}l @{\hspace{3ex}} l }
MATLAB & 6+ years of experience in signal processing, image analysis, image segmentation, noise removal and quantitative data analysis \\
IT skills & Python (beginner), \LaTeX\ (advanced), MS Office (intermediate) \\
\end{tabular}
\end{rSection}
So I have introduced {\tabular*}{\pagewidth}. However the problem still continues. I feel like there is a simple solution to this that I am missing.
\begin{rSection}{IT and language}
\begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{ @{} >{\bfseries}l @{\hspace{3ex}} l }

IT skills & Python (beginner), \LaTeX\ (advanced), MS Office (intermediate) \\
\end{tabular*}
\end{rSection}
I have seen few suggestions such as the following where table table and column width can be hardcoded into latex. However, I would like the first column to extend with the text and the second column to continue until \pagewidth is reached while the text remains \raggedright aligned (i.e. starting from top left hand corner of the cell).
\begin{tabular}{@{} L{3.5cm} L{9cm} @{}}
