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.
| Layout | Meant for | What it sets |
|---|---|---|
| Academic | The classic research CV | Dated entries, publications by type with your name in bold, grants, teaching and talks |
| Industry | A compact one-page resume | Bullet points, skills as plain lines, a one-page option, an optional photo slot |
