Awesome PhD CV Templates is a collection of ready-to-use resume and CV templates built for PhD students and researchers who are applying to either academic positions or industry jobs at big tech companies. It addresses a real problem: the type of document that impresses a faculty hiring committee is very different from what works when applying to Google or Meta, and many researchers get this wrong. The repo provides three distinct templates for different situations. The Awesome-CV format is a multi-page document designed for faculty applications and postdoc positions, it supports full publication lists, research statements, and a detailed academic history. Jake's format is a single-page, single-column resume optimized to pass through ATS (applicant tracking systems, automated software that many large companies use to filter resumes before a human ever reads them). The Deedy format is a denser two-column layout for experienced tech professionals who have a lot to fit on one page. All templates are written in LaTeX, a document preparation system common in academia that produces precise, publication-quality PDFs. Two templates use pdfLaTeX (the most basic version), and two use XeLaTeX (an extended version that supports custom fonts). The repo also includes a guide explaining how to adapt an academic CV into an industry-ready resume, including which sections to emphasize and which to cut. You would use this if you are a PhD student or researcher preparing job applications and want professional, field-tested templates without building them from scratch. The full README is longer than what was provided.
