How to write Academic CV ? Well, these are my observations, If you find
anything irrelevant please do suggest and correct me as well
1.Its better to keep Academic CV in 2 pages as many universities limits it
in 2 page
2. synchronize the alignment in your CV. For example you are writing
dates in left, keep this synchronization in your whole CV, don't use dates
in right ( if you already put it in left section)
3. No photo in your academic CV
4. Its better if you put your name centered and much bigger font than
your content
5. I guess no need to add test scores as that will be already sent by ETS
6. You should not add your HSC/SSC results, as US universities do not care
about this
7. Before starting , write the points which you want to add in your CV
8. If you have publications must add it with journal/conference name, vol,
no, issue, doi number
9. No elaborate discussion. For example you have some leadership skill or
any communication skill. Don write a story about this on your CV. Be
precise about your skills
10. Don't split section in pages. for example you have started writing
about your programming skill in a section and half of its part is in page 1
and 2nd half is on page 2. It does not looks good
11. Structure in chronological order. For example you did job in three
different companies. Maintain ordering of time. Most recent will be put on
first and then so on.
12. No need to mention your undergrad courses, it will increase your CV
pages, nothing else. Transcripts will be already sent to see which courses
you have covered.
Once you are done with your CV, give it to someone expert
