Curricula Vitae - Résumés

A curriculum vitae, otherwise known as a CV or résumé, is a document used by individuals to communicate their work history, education and skill set. This is a style template for your curriculum written in LaTex. The main goal of this template is to provide a curriculum that is able to survive the résumés screening of "twenty seconds".

The author assumes no responsibility for the topicality, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided and for the obtained résumés.

This is designed for computer scientists but there is no limitation to use it for résumés in other disciplines.

If you like this curriculum, please don't forget to leave a star, to help the development and improvement.

The basic idea is KISS - Keep It Simple, Stupid.

In a nutshell "It is vain to do with more what can be done with fewer" -- Occam's razor --

• This template has been designed to create a "one-page" résumé and is therefore not suitable to create a curriculum of more than one-page.

• Please do not try to create a curriculum with more than one-page.

How to describe your experiences?

There are many theories about the résumé screening process of "Big" companies.Resume screeners and the interviewers look in your résumé for:

• Are you smart?
• Can you code (act for what you apply)?

Anyway according to the guidelines of this template you should use a really simple form to describe each item in your résumé:

Accomplished <X> by implementing <Y> which led to <Z>

Here's an example:

Reduced object rendering time by 75% by applying Floyd's algorithm, leading to a 10% reduction in system boot time.
