Make the Best of Your CV Formatting with LaTeX and Overleaf

LaTeX

 

IN PERSON 

LaTeX is a high-quality typesetting system; it includes features designed to produce technical and scientific documentation and it is widely used in the scientific domain to manage and write research papers. You can also use LaTeX to typeset a professional-looking CV, focus on your content and worry less about formatting. In this workshop, attendees will be able to play with the "moderncv" or "resume" class in LaTeX and create their own CV from a wide range of provided templates.  

This is an intermediate level course. Intermediate sessions explore specific aspects of the method (libraries, tools etc.) and offer a more in-depth understanding of the course topics, without introducing the basics. Some knowledge on how to use LaTeX and Overleaf systems is required to be able to follow the content.  If you want to refresh your memory you can have a look to these tutorials https://www.overleaf.com/learn  

Those who have registered to take part will receive an email with full details on how to get ready for this course.

After taking part in this event, you may decide that you need some further help in applying what you have learnt to your research. If so, you can book a Data Surgery meeting with one of our training fellows.
