green_dreamsSo. I know someone who is considering going for their Master's, and it is stressing them right the holy hell out.[1]
As part of convincing people to act as a reference, they need to write an academic CV. This is a rather new experience, and they don't have a lot of guidance--they're sort of stuck with seeing if the internet is going to tell them anything useful, and there is a lot of junk on the internet, and they don't know where to start.
So. Bit strange, I know, but... Advice? Suggestions? Things not to do?

[1] I would like to take this moment, by the way, to say to anyone reading this who has talked, chatted, or otherwise remotely assisted me in getting through a bad flail: I cribbed like crazy from what you did for me. I think it helped me help them. Thank you.
