Considering how many students here ask for advice on applying for REUs and other student research opportunities, has anyone ever put together a resume template for that sort of application? I would definitely appreciate it, and I'm sure plenty of other people would, also.

When I applied for an REU as an undergrad, I took the opportunity to TeX my first CV. Over the years, I've added to it, but it's more or less the same format I used way back then.

For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
