I finally got around to whipping up a resumé, for the first time in 12 years. Comments welcome.

my 2 cents


For industry jobs, don't be afraid to go to 2 pages. List languages and other technical skills, as mentioned above. List publications and/or conference presentations if you're trying for a fairly senior position (or an R&D oriented place like Mathworks); be sure to stress ability to work on team and ship product, for software firms. I don't think GPA will matter much if you have work experience, and if you have good references from industry folks.

Also, do make a Word version.

CM -- who cares. They're much more interested in the content than the fact that you used Tex and didn't change the default font.

Re: my 2 cents


I wasn't afraid to go to 2 pages; it took some padding to fill that one page. (Although if the second page is less than half full it's going to look kind of silly.) I thought about doing a list of languages and technologies that I've worked with, but I decided that a list of projects would have the same info with more context. But maybe it would still be good to summarize in one place. I mention my one non-thesis primary-author publication but I should probably list my other publications too.
