Setting up CV's for different needs
You will be asked for a CV (resume) in a variety of different circumstances over the years to come. Your CV should be adjusted for each unique circumstance. The idea is to give the reader the information they need as easily and as fast as possible. You also want to show that you know about what you are applying for. ( This will also come up when writing a Letter of Intent.)
