8Why a LaTeX CV

Academic hiring committees read many CVs, and a LaTeX CV is easy to recognise: consistent spacing, real small caps, a publication list that stays aligned over several pages. The catch has always been writing it. This generator removes that step: you type your details once, the LaTeX is produced for you, and you keep full control of the source if you want to adjust it.

Table 1 compares the two layouts. Looking for a different design? Browse the free LaTeX templates, including French academic and industry CVs.

LayoutMeant forWhat it sets
AcademicThe classic research CVDated entries, publications by type with your name in bold, grants, teaching and talks
IndustryA compact one-page resumeBullet points, skills as plain lines, a one-page option, an optional photo slot

Table 1. The two layouts. Both exist in English and in French.

Appendix A Questions

Do I need to know LaTeX?+
No. You fill in plain text fields; special characters such as &, %, $ or _ are escaped for you, so the generated document always compiles. You can still edit the LaTeX afterwards.
How do I get the PDF?+
Click "Open in Overleaf": your CV opens as a new Overleaf project and compiles there for free. You can also download the .tex file and compile it with any TeX distribution (pdfLaTeX).
Is my data stored anywhere?+
Your draft stays in your browser (local storage) and is never sent to latexci. The only network call is the optional ORCID import, which sends your ORCID iD to orcid.org.
What does the ORCID import fill in?+
Title, journal or venue, year and DOI of each public work on your ORCID record. ORCID summaries do not include co-authors, so add them yourself before exporting.
Academic or industry layout?+
The academic layout follows the classic research CV (dated entries, publication list, small-caps headings). The industry layout is a compact resume in the order recruiters read (profile, skills, experience, education), with a one-page option and an optional photo slot. Both exist in English and French, and both keep each date next to its entry when an applicant tracking system reads the PDF as text.
