Thanks for sharing this template. I'm not sure if the OP is the writer of the CV, but I just have to comment on the CV itself. They've done some good stuff, but this CV doesn't show it off at all. To wit: 4 pages! The last page only lists an almost certainly irrelevant security clearance? And it looks like one solid wall of short snippets. Where's the meat? What did you really study? Why should anyone care which conferences you've been to? I'd rather see a three sentence abstract of your three best papers. Which scholarships are you most proud of and which could have been awarded to a bag of lettuce? I know you will have a cover letter with it, and a CV will be skim-read, but as the reason to create a CV in LaTeX is to intrigue and delight, so the content itself should also titillate and ultimately, sell!

This looks like most academic CVs I've seen. This is a domain-accepted/encouraged practice. Moreover, this guy is a newly minted academic; you should see how long they get when you stick around: http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~uno/vita.pdf http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~uno/vita.pdf (Large PDF Warning)

  Definitely domain-accepted, but that doesn't mean it's necessary or best. I'm applying to post-doc positions now and I'm personally banking on the theory that short and sweet (with condensed goodness and moderate humility) makes a better CV. Of course.. I could be totally wrong. Maybe I'll hedge my bets and apply to a few places with a bloated CV.

  Yes, Knuth has done an incredible number of things and his CV reflects that. For mere mortals, a CV that long looks kind of kooky and you can bet a recruiter is not going to print more than the first few pages. However, I expect you are right about academia and these are acceptable, although I'd still put a summary of my best work on the first page. BTW, an effective CV for Knuth would surely be: Donald Knuth and I'm not sure it needs the Donald.

    Yes, his name brand is strong enough. Though I guess Knuth doesn't use his CV for getting hired.
