Share your cv

22 pointsvoiduser11y ago15 comments

I am looking at redesigning my CV. I was wondering if people would like to share examples of there CV (links only please do not paste the contents of your cv).

I have all the content but I just feel it looks dated and lacking that modern look and feel.

Thanks

A good place to start is here: https://jsonresume.org/

Provides a great structure and there are tons of templates which you can choose and customize easily.

That's a great resource. Another good one like that is https://creddle.io At the moment Creddle has awful support for exporting, making it almost useless to build a resume there, but if you choose to print as PDF then it's just as good as a PDF export.

I feel like some people could see it as lazy or rushed, despite having spent more time that I'd like to admit wording and rewording my CV. Dress up oneself http://bit.ly/1vkJux4

Another strategy may be to focus less on the design of the CV, and more on the content. A couple of guides I've found useful are:

Niniane Wang - "How to Write a Killer Resume (for Software Engineers)" : http://ofb.net/~niniane/resume_howto.html

Steve Yegge - "Ten Tips for a (Slightly) Less Awful Resume " : http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com.au/2007/09/ten-tips-for-slig...

Gives you a number of different LaTeX templates that you can try out online, including moderncv.

Just realized how out of date my CV is. Last update 2012.

Written in LaTeX, though I can't find my source at the moment... a little worrying.

EDIT: Forgot I came from US Academia, where CV is a long living document of your research and life work, not what we silly Americans call a Resume. Pardon me if this wasn't the kind of thing you were looking for.

I feel like I used to know the difference but now I don't. What do you folks do differently on a CV vs a resume?

What do you guys think of plain-text CVs?

I've seen this advocated in numerous places (including the link to Steve Yegge's blog in shoo's comment) but have never brought myself to send off a .txt file. I feel like some people could see it as lazy or rushed, despite having spent more time that I'd like to admit wording and rewording my CV.

You spelled "Institute" wrong.

Try this. I just launched it and the main goal was to help users who face the same problem like you do.

I am still testing it and it may be slow ... Let me know your feedback :-).
