I am looking at redesigning my CV. I was wondering if people would like to share examples of there CV (links only please do not paste the contents of your cv).<p>I have all the content but I just feel it looks dated and lacking that modern look and feel.<p>Thanks
A good place to start is here: <a href="https://jsonresume.org/" rel="nofollow">https://jsonresume.org/</a><p>Provides a great structure and there are tons of templates which you can choose and customize easily.
I feel like some people could see it as lazy or rushed, despite having spent more time that I'd like to admit wording and rewording my CV. Dress up oneself <a href="http://bit.ly/1vkJux4" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/1vkJux4</a>
Another strategy may be to focus less on the design of the CV, and more on the content. A couple of guides I've found useful are:<p>Niniane Wang - "How to Write a Killer Resume (for Software Engineers)" : <a href="http://ofb.net/~niniane/resume_howto.html" rel="nofollow">http://ofb.net/~niniane/resume_howto.html</a><p>Steve Yegge - "Ten Tips for a (Slightly) Less Awful Resume " : <a href="http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com.au/2007/09/ten-tips-for-slightly-less-awful-resume.html" rel="nofollow">http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com.au/2007/09/ten-tips-for-slig...</a>
<a href="https://www.sharelatex.com/templates/cv-or-resume" rel="nofollow">https://www.sharelatex.com/templates/cv-or-resume</a><p>Gives you a number of different LaTeX templates that you can try out online, including moderncv.
Just realized how out of date my CV is. Last update 2012.<p>Written in LaTeX, though I can't find my source at the moment... a little worrying.<p><a href="http://www.ajford.us/pages/curriculum-vitae.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ajford.us/pages/curriculum-vitae.html</a><p>EDIT: Forgot I came from US Academia, where CV is a long living document of your research and life work, not what we silly Americans call a Resume. Pardon me if this wasn't the kind of thing you were looking for.
Here is mine (a minimal version): <a href="https://www.resumonk.com/aditya" rel="nofollow">https://www.resumonk.com/aditya</a><p>You can see other templates here: <a href="https://www.resumonk.com/resume_templates" rel="nofollow">https://www.resumonk.com/resume_templates</a><p>Disclaimer: I'm the Co-Founder of Resumonk that helps users create a standout resume/CV in minutes.
Hey there, I run VisualCV.com. You can view the designs here: <a href="https://www.visualcv.com/cv-templates/" rel="nofollow">https://www.visualcv.com/cv-templates/</a>.

What do you guys think of plain-text CVs?<p>I've seen this advocated in numerous places (including the link to Steve Yegge's blog in shoo's comment) but have never brought myself to send off a .txt file. I feel like some people could see it as lazy or rushed, despite having spent more time that I'd like to admit wording and rewording my CV.
Try this. I just launched it and the main goal was to help users who face the same problem like you do.<p>I am still testing it and it may be slow ... Let me know your feedback :-).<p>[www.progrez.in](<a href="http://www.progrez.in/" rel="nofollow">http://www.progrez.in/</a>)
