Academic CVs

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers on how to write an impressive academic CV. I’ve been asked by a potential PhD supervisor for a copy of my CV... which I need to write now. I’ve found the same sort of generic stuff but I would love to know what people look for, as well as handy hints and extras from people who have done it before

Thanks :)

What's important about a CV is that it presents the information *clearly* in an easy-to-digest manner in reverse-chronological order. Use blocks to give it a structure and bold print to highlight the important information. Include publications and conference contributions if you have any.
