Craft your top 1% CV
I come across brilliant candidates with CVs that do little justice to their work!
Poor CVs = costly rejections that kill dreams.
What if your CV could transform those rejections into opportunities?
Power up your CV using these actionable guidelines, AI & incredibly successful templates!
After mentoring 140+ prospective applicants and reviewing 500+ CVs, my aim is to help elevate the standard of CVs produced by students and early career researchers globally.
Today, there’s far more information online than ever. Further, most resume-building websites and samples online are aligned to job seekers. There’s nothing for CVs that research students and academics must use.

Who is this guide for?
The intended audience for this guide is students (high school, college, postgraduate) and early- to mid-career researchers and professionals (with less than 10 years of full-time experience).
While the guide will be helpful to a range of people from various educational backgrounds and career paths, I have particularly kept in mind an audience with a research focus. Certain sections are highly applicable to researchers and academicians.
I strongly believe that postgraduate (master’s and PhD) applicants, postdoctoral candidates and early career researchers would benefit the most from this guide.
