An academic CV is crucial for showcasing your education and achievements. When creating a CV, it is important to select a suitable template. Avoid using decorative templates and opt for a clean two-color design. EuroPass is an excellent platform where you can create a CV using a format recognized in Europe.

Steps

  1. Go to EuroPass and create an account. By creating an account, you can save a draft of your CV and edit it whenever you want.
  2. Add the sections and your details for each section.
  3. Select a suitable template and download your CV as a PDF. When choosing a color, opt for blue or light blue.
