The body font is now in helvetica- wanted to use a font most computers have.
***Update***
Some popular websites and blogs link to this resume and I have come across some blatant rip offs of my design and logo. So I want to make it loud and clear:
YOU MAY NOT USE MY RESUME AND LOGO AS YOUR OWN. YOU ALSO MAY NOT ALTER MY LOGO AND RESUME AND USE IT AS YOUR OWN.
I think the body texts need a little indent. It will look better in regard to the headings, but it will also look more consistent in regard to the lists with the bullets which naturally have an indent.
You're also using typographic symbols incorrectly. To specify a range between two numbers you should use the en dash; NOT the hyphen.
I would align the information on the left stroke to one of the lines on the right. If you use InDesign you can apply a baseline grid so you won't run into "issues" like these. You should also apply more leading after the heading "Montia Garcia" and less between the two addresses. Actually, you should do that for all the text as there should be a clear distinction between header and body which is not limited to the weight difference alone.
I strongly recommend using InDesign as its typographic functions are way more advanced than in Illustrator. For example, for body text you should always apply the 'Story' function (Type > Story) and set the same pt size as you're using for the body text. Also, I'm not sure if you did this but you should ALWAYS set the spacing to 'optical' instead of 'auto' or 'metrics', regardless of whether you're using ID, PS or AI.
In general this is a beautiful CV though. Actually, one of the most inspiring yet functional ones I've seen.
I really like your resume, how do you make your dotted borders? I have always wanted to separate my logo from my resume in a somewhat similar fashion, but I am not too familiar with many text editing programs

And how do you get the fonts to appear smoothed?
For a proper CV design you should use InDesign. It has the most advanced typographic functions. It can be quite complex for beginners though.
