Question latex: custom structures


Is it possible to use custom structures? I mean... I'm making my resume, and I'd like to do something like specifying the structure I want to use for displaying a job, and then add the jobs. I have a latex example that (I think) uses this approach, but latex complains about it and doesn't process it.

It says something like:
Code:
\begin{format}
\position{l}\\
\location(l)\dates(r)\\
\description(l)
\body\\
\end{format}

\position{CIO}
\location{Home}
\dates{2000-now}
\description{I have to buy everything MS puts in front of me} % That was sarcasm, don't get touchy. :-)
\begin{body}
In all my years in this profession, I have never been in touch with a single computer.
\end{body}
Then, If I wanted to change the way I want the positions to be displayed, I would have to change the format.

Is it possible? how? :-D

Thanks in advance.... oh, and I'm just a first-timer on latex, so take it easy on me.

I don't really know about special definitions in a tex file, but maybe a resume.cls would do what you want:

if you really want to have stuff all in one tex file, what about:
