The CV is one of four documents, but it's the one they read first

A faculty job application package is usually a cover letter, a CV, a research statement, a teaching statement, and a diversity/inclusion statement, plus reference letters. The CV is the document that decides whether a search committee will keep reading. If your publications, funding, and trajectory don't jump off page one, the rest may not be read carefully.

This template puts publications above grants by default, the right call for most STEM fields. For humanities applications, you may want to lead with monographs (if any) and then peer-reviewed articles, with grants moved below. Edit the order of the \section blocks in the .tex source to match the convention in your field.

Things that signal seniority on a CV

Service roles (program committee membership, journal refereeing, DEI committee work) signal that the field already sees you as a peer. Invited talks demonstrate external visibility. Funding , especially as PI, demonstrates independence. Teaching evaluation scores reassure committees worried about classroom load. If you have these, list them; don't let modesty obscure your trajectory. If you don't have all of them, the strong sections you do have will carry more weight than'd expect.
