Can you explain this gap on your resume?
I sure can! So these blocks are custom commands that end with \par\addvspace{0.5em}, that means you’ve got whatever \topsep and \parskip are plus half the width of a lowercase m, then the \topsep again going to the next block. Now, you’re probably thinking that I should give the layout engine some room to play…

Down here, I use the same command, but there’s no body and with that default 0.5em, it’s just too much whitespace, so I actually set it to -0.5em to pull the next entry up a bit on the page. I feel like I should refine that a bit so that I don’t need to manually make that adjustment, but it’s a resume-specific command and it only needs to be done if there’s no description on the entry, so it’s not worth investing too much time on.
