LaTeX template to create a compact curriculum vitae (CV) such as http://www.mit.edu/~wsshin/pdf/shin_cv.pdf.
- Put
cv.tex
,cv_geoemtry.tex
,cv_biblatex_format.tex
in the same directory. - Change the followings in
cv.tex
:
- Definitions (
\def
) in "Personal information" section - Main contents within
\begin{document} ... \end{document}
- Additionally, if you want to include your publications, you need to provide your own
publications.bib
file (see below for additional information). - Finally, use
pdflatex
to process the*.tex
files and producecv.pdf
.
The template generates multiple publication lists automatically out of the single BibTeX file publications.bib
.
- The publications are automatically sorted in the reverse chronological order. If you have 10 publications, the first publication in the list is the most recent publication and numbered 10, and the next publication in the list is the second-most recent publication and numbered 9, etc.
- Multiple publication lists can be generated. To use this feature, add a new field named
Entrysubtype
in each bibliography item inpublications.bib
. (If you use BibDesk on macOS, this can be done by BibDesk > Publication > Add Field...) You can show only the bibliography items with a specificEntrysubtype
value. For example, putoral
as the value ofEntrysubtype
for oral presentations in conferences, and use\printbibliography[subtype=oral]
to show only the bibliography items taggedoral
inEntrysubtype
. Assigning differentvalue
s toEntrysubtype
and calling\printbibliography[subtype=value]
multiple times with differentvalue
s, you can generate multiple publication lists. See examples in\section{Refereed Journal Publications}
,\section{Conference Oral Presentations}
,\section{Conference Poster Presentations}
incv.tex
. - The specific format in which each publication is shown is defined in
cv_biblatex_format.tex
, which you need to change in order to use a different format.
In each section, the first subsection title needs to be defined in \subsectionone{...}
for a formatting reason. The remaining subsection titles need to be defined in the usual \subsection{...}
. A pull request to eliminate the need for the special subsection command for first subsections is welcome.
I personally use the Minion Pro font, because it is a relatively narrow-width font and therefore I can put more contents with it. The Minion Pro font is proprietary and comes with Adobe Acrobat. If you have Adobe Acrobat, you can use it in LaTeX by installing the minionpro
package. The installation of the minionpro
package, however, is not straightforward.
