My strategy on this is to get all of your CV in vim, get rid of all the
external makeup code (both you did already) and then,

rearrange all parts you want to keep in vim in the most clean posible way
-- basically restructuring your text in plain text instead.

a very good way to do so is to use a basic markup language like markdown
(the daringball version and not its derivates). that way you can have a
readable and when necessary exportable version of your CV.

for maintenance your CV is kept clean and straigtforward to edit.

on a higher level you could use LaTeX markup and codings instead of
markdown, but then it could be easier to start exporting the original
GUI CV to LaTeX and then edit and do maintenance with vim.
