15.9 Template for a CV

Below is a possible template for a two-page CV.
For examples of CVs see my website: e4ac.com.
Your name should be in 12 pt, headings in 11 pt and the rest in 10 pt. Your
name and personal details should be centered if you have no photo, or
aligned to the left with your photo on the right.
The parts in [square brackets] are optional. Obviously, you will have more
or less subsections in each section depending on your experience.
Instead of an Executive summary, you may just have an Objective.
To learn more about what to include in each section, see the chapter
references in brackets below:
1. name (4)
2. personal details (4)
3. objective / personal statement / executive summary (6)
4. education (7)
5. work experience (8)
6. skills (9)
7. personal interests (10)
8. publications (8.9, 8.10)
9. references (11)

15.10 Template for a resume

On the next page is a possible template for a one-page resume.
The parts in [square brackets] are optional. Obviously, you will have more
or less subsections in each section depending on your experience.
Instead of an Executive Summary (also called Career Highlights), you may
just have an Objective.
Note: In addition to the Experience and Education sections, you may also
wish to put one or more of the following sections:
• Associate Memberships / Professional Affiliations
• Certifications
• Honors
• Professional Training
• Publications
• Related Experiences
• Skills (technical and language)
Unlike a CV, a resume generally does not include a photo, a Personal
Interest section, or a References section.
