But there's a difference between "what should be in an academic CV?" and the question OP asked: he doesn't have any of the "usual" material one put in a academic CV. So his question is about "making up information", filling the blanks. And that's a particular question that isn't answered generically by "What goes in a CV". | |

Surely I'm not the first PhD student faced with the request "just send me your CV" when you don't have one already? | |

Editied to be a bit more generic, hopefully so it would be more useful to others in my position

| Nov 21, 2017 at 1:03 | comment | added | Bamboo | @padawan I can assure you, I have been asked for it already, in fact twice. Once for a scholarship application and once for an academic visit (bureaucracy so I can have a desk to work at) | |

Clarified type of cv in title

| Nov 20, 2017 at 12:53 | comment | added | Clément | @padawan I can see many reasons to have a CV, even if you're a new PhD student. 1) To store in one place all the significant information about yourself (=memory helper). 2) To have one in hand when you'll be asked one (it's not a question of if, but of when). 3) To set-up a basis that will be easy to update for when you'll be require to give one for a job application. 4) To populate your website, if you have one. 5) To give minimal information to anyone reaching you (for a review, for instance) if this one is public / on-line. 6) To have your mail address copy-and-pastable 7) … | |

| Nov 20, 2017 at 7:49 | comment | added | nengel | Mine only had an "Education" section, listing the degrees I held and for each, the thesis title and who my supervisor was. IIRC I also included the one summer research internship I did in my first MSc year. I padded it a bit by adding a "skills" section listing the programming languages I mainly use and which foreign languages I speak. That fills one page quite nicely with an airy template. | |
