Struggling to find the right CV template?
Same here. That’s why I created this one—with early-career scholars and graduate students in mind.

Most CV templates out there either expect you to have ten publications (hello, I’m still in grad school), feel clunky and hard to read, or leave out the sections that actually matter for our stage in academia. So I built the kind of CV I wish I had when I was just starting out.

This CV template is for you if you want to:

✅ Have a clean, easy-to-edit and accessible document – it’s a Google Doc template, so your CV is always saved and accessible from anywhere with your Google account.
✅ Use a format that’s easy to read and follow – no more confusing layouts or formatting nightmares.
✅ Highlight your experience in a way that actually fits where you are – with smart sections designed for grad students. That means space for conferences, presentations, guest lectures, and all forms of written work (not just peer-reviewed publications).

This template helps you show up professionally—without having to pretend you’re already a tenured professor.
