I think that for anyone that isn't very familiar with latex, doing any adjustment at all will be a painful experience. You might be lucky if you get a hold of a style that suits you perfectly (or find a setup ready to use like the one in the article), but I honestly can't think of a worse language/tool to write a CV in, than LaTeX.
I've used LaTeX on several projects, and I found it to be wonderful for larger documents, and especially those that 'just work' with the defaults, especially those that are heavy in math, and especially those that are heavy in citations. A CV? Mine would have any if those properties, so no way in hell that I'd would go through that pain. Why? Because I'll be trying to adjust the position of elements for one, or two pages tops. If it were for a book or thesis, sure, writing a style to suit it might be worth it.
In summary, it really depends on what you know, and what you want to achieve. If you're not an expert in LaTeX, and you want more than the bare minimum of control over where things end up and how it looks, then LaTeX is the worst possible choice.
InDesign, Fireworks (even Photoshop) all cost a lot but I'd choose them any day over it. InkScape, count me in. I'll even use libreOffice over LaTeX.
