Resume/CV Writing

Resume/CV: There is a slight difference between a resume and a CV [read more here]. A resume is typically shorter, usually one or two pages long. It highlights the most relevant experience, skills, and achievements for a specific scholarship/job. A CV includes a comprehensive overview of a person's academic and professional history, including publications, presentations, research, and more. If you're a student seeking a master's or PhD scholarship, these two documents may appear quite similar, differing mainly in details and length, given that you might not yet have an extensive profile. Overleaf (an online LaTeX editor) has some very nice templates for CVs [Maths Volunteers Template]. I suggest not only listing things but also providing context and key details in bullets. For example, if you include MS Office and Python in your skills list, then provide bullet points detailing what YOU can do in MS Office and Python.
