CV Template

What Is a CV Template?

A CV (curriculum vitae) is a comprehensive record of your academic and professional history, typically longer than a resume and used for academic, research, medical, or international job applications. This template adds publications, languages, and references — sections a resume normally leaves out.

How to Use This Template

1. Fill in the fields on the left — your entries appear in the live preview.
2. Click "Update Preview" any time you change a field.
3. Click directly inside the preview to fine-tune wording, spacing, or line breaks.
4. Download as a text file, or use Print → Save as PDF for a polished document.

Tips

• Unlike a resume, a CV can run several pages — completeness matters more than brevity.
• List publications in a consistent citation style (author, year, title, journal).
• Include language proficiency levels (native, fluent, conversational) rather than just naming languages.
• Order education and experience in reverse-chronological order, most recent first.
• Only write 'References available on request' if you truly have people lined up to vouch for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the Resume Template?

This CV template is longer and more comprehensive — it includes Publications, Languages, and References sections that a one-page resume typically omits.

Do I need every section filled in?

No. Leave any field blank and its section is simply skipped in the preview — use only what applies to you.

Can I download this as a PDF?

Yes. Use the Print / Save as PDF button, which opens your browser's print dialog set to only capture the document preview.

Is my information stored anywhere?

No. Everything happens locally in your browser tab — nothing is uploaded or saved on our end.
