I just had to update my CV and used modified versions of these with
great results (I think):
- http://www.cv-templates.info/2009/03/professional-cv-latex/
- http://stefano.italians.nl/archives/50

Once set up, it was very easy and is just some custom section headers
and tables.

There is a LaTeX class mimicking Europass. I used to use it. I find
Europass ugly and disturbing/hard to read, though.

Anyhow, creating a cv_barebone.org should not be too hard.

Apart from each person creating their own resume… a pre-filled template in .org 
could be made to produce a resume in the Europass [1] format, or similar widely 
accepted formats.

I used Org for mine.

I even have it split into parts with dynamic includes. Org/Latex
worked great.

Thanks.

I have also used org for résumé. But since I am strictly an academic,
I didn't bother to write any custom styles. I did a sub-tree export to
LaTeX using these settings:

** Curriculum Vitae
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: suvayu_cv.pdf
:EXPORT_TITLE: Curriculum Vitae
:EXPORT_AUTHOR: Suvayu Ali
:CATEGORY: cv
:END:
#+OPTIONS: H:2 num:nil toc:nil TeX:t

I have recently started using Org-mode for my Resume [1].  I have
created a custom LaTeX stylesheet, that I use, for the LaTeX export.

I'm not using Org for resumes, but yes, I would love to see some good
CSS for the HTML export and some good style.xml for the ODT export...

I think the first step (or one of the first steps) is to create (or
identify) a template that you are happy about.

If you post a sample resume, I will be more than happy to use it as a
use-case and robustify applying of styles with org-odt exporter.
