Should I emphasize certain traits in my CV for master's application? Should I modify my CV to emphasize certain traits before including it in my application for a master's degree or just include my usual professional CV?
An academic CV typically contains items you wouldn't want to list in a professional resume, such as a complete publishing history. Your resume may list as a bullet point that you are published, but they don't want 20 pages listing each publication, for instance. So, yes, your academic CV should be different.
