Awesome Phd Cv

This is a LaTeX template collection that covers the three CV formats PhD students actually need: Jake's single-column ATS-safe resume for getting past applicant tracking systems at big tech companies, Deedy's two-column dense format for experienced engineers, and Awesome-CV's multi-page academic format for faculty applications. Each template compiles with different engines (pdfLaTeX vs XeLaTeX) and the repo includes full working examples with the specific LaTeX commands you need for each section. If you're switching between academia and industry or just tired of fighting with Word, this gives you production-ready starting points that people have actually used to land jobs.
