Can anyone suggest a beautiful yet affordable sans serif for my cv and letterhead design?

I'm a graphic design student wanting a gorgeous cv, clean swiss type so far...but its missing a typeface, din isn't quite doing it for me.

I've got a decent catalogue of fonts, so it would be ideal if it was something I had and didn't know it!

This is it so far, and suggestions or criticism is welcome

Some fabulous Sans Serifs.: 'Metron', by Franti�ek �torm; 'Malm�', by Martin Fredrikson; 'Flama', by M�rio Feliciano; 'Scene', by Sebastian Lester; 'CP Company', by Fabrizio Schiavi..

Storm's Sebastian is great, FF Seria Sans is nice too.

Address is spelled incorrectly in your CV. Also e-mail is easier to read with a hyphen. And... at least in the U.S. it is customary to list your education after your work experience.

In the UK it's normally particulars, then education, then experience.

Be consistent; use '2004' or '04', but not both. List your freelance clients; if I was using this CV to judge you, I'd be more interested in those than in the short placements.
'We designed adverts for printing' doesn't really cut it to be honest...why else would you design them?
Who says 'one 17 AD' are 'reputable'? - don't put subjectivity like this into a CV.
Sorry if this seems a bit critical, but what you write in a CV (I write as someone who has to read them for recruitment) is more important than whether you're using DIN or not.
