I am in a very interdisciplinary field (Humanities), and have heard contradictory advice on two CV-related topics: 1) ideal length (make it easy to overview, cut to 3 pages vs the longer the better) 1) I was awarded a professional fellowship through a non-profit. I am a second year PhD student in education (curriculum and educational technology, to be exact), and I recently started the transition from a resume to a CV now that I have presentations, publications, etc. Hi KP.I would appreciate this if you emailed me your example.I have made a mess with my latest column experiences. 3. Thank you for any and all advice! Having come out of Cultural Resource Management, where do all those reports I wrote/projects I ran fit in? *How do you identify the level of course you’ve taught without the course number. I am a graduate student so I feel it would make my CV look attractive and the PhD admission committee would really think that my research works have been noteworthy so far. How should I indicate my status in the ‘Education’ section of my CV? this is a good question! If you’re in creative writing, I’d include. (Does this make me deceitful???) I don’t doubt that they are sincere, but they are *completely* ignorant of the biases and rigidities and unspoken norms and judgments that dominate Ph,.D. (2) writing a commentary essay for a section in a journal (5 pp.) First, you are in an enviable position in that you are being encouraged to apply by people at the university in question. If a font fails to blend into one of those groups, it’s probably inappropriate. Advice appreciated. Thanks! My question is where do I put museum exhibits that I’ve worked on? Hi Karen, My case is the latter–in fact, the grant was mainly for my own research, but was submitted in my advisor’s and collaborator’s names because grad students can’t apply for that class of grant. This is not a resume. (Everything on my CV so far is just undergrad research work and poster presentations). I have Keywords/Research Fields at the top of my c.v. Also, I believe course numbers may be important and not as meaningless as you suggest since they show the level at which you were selected to teach. Thank you. If they are already in the printing stage, with the full citation and page numbers available, they may be listed the same as other published publications, at the very top since their dates are furthest in the future. Now the questions: 1) How to deal with a prolonged period of unemployment? What do you think about putting your name at the top of the page in a font that is non-traditional? Also, how much will studying theology hurt my chances? And a third one on awards: if I leave out everything from college, there won’t be enough left to want me to put it as high up as you suggest. Very useful and appreciate this cite. Terrific advice! Good question. This website is amazing, and this post in particular and all the reader comments probably saved me from writing a CV that would doom my chances of getting an interview. Should I include it and where should it appear? A critical point that I will add to the body of the post. 3) Museum installations? I have translated and co-produced a number of plays, and decided to go as follows: Excellent blog! I am reformatting my CV based on your recommendations but I am having trouble visualizing how to make it aesthetic and follow your guidelines. I am preparing to write my FIRST CV. Hi Karen, can you clarify how we list reviewing articles for peer-reviewed journals on the CV? I’m an associate professor looking at applying for some faculty/administrative positions (department chair, director of X with teaching duties, etc.). It is not really a degree and it is not (at least not directly) related to the academic area of the position I am applying. Or is this simply my advisor’s job ? In such circumstances, is it better to brazen out the gap and stick to the formatting you suggest or to adjust the formatting to give greatest prominence to what one has accomplished without drawing attention to ones failure to achieve as much as possible? Currently on the CV, you cannot tell if he presented it or not. Again I have an evolving publications record and evidence of grant capture. I confess, I avoided responding because to tell the truth, I’m not 100% sure. Finally, many of us today are theorist-practitioners so we will have business resume elements as part of an academic c.v. rather than send a separate document, often added at the end of the academic section. I wouldn’t want to give the misleading impression that I have a TT position by leaving out the phrase, but I’m not sure how widely this language is used across other institutions. This post has been a tremendous help and I have been spending lots of time revamping my CV. These entries will include: Name of paper, name of conference, date. Should I still call it “Media,” or is there a better heading? I do not believe that you can put the quote/cite in the CV; nobody gets to put how their work is quoted/cited in their CVs! Charlotte, I see a series of queries by you to this blog post. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Same for publications – I have one book translation/introduction, one peer-reviewed article, and two book reviews. No, for the reasons I explain in the post. For example, if a scholar of African history works on the influence of the Cuban Revolution in Sub-Saharan Africa, it might be helpful for a search committee to be told (via the research interests section) that one’s work is relevant to scholars of ‘the Cold War in Africa’ and the ‘global 1960s’ in addition to the obvious field of modern West African history. That removes most of my motivation for doing them then. I am preparing my CV to apply for assistant professor position in Canada (Immunology). 20. It’s technically a win, but it still doesn’t result in money. But that was me, about my own academic career—I remain keenly interested in all of you and YOUR careers! I see the issue; the problem is that numbers don’t really reliably communicate that since they are so different across campuses. I came across your site while searching for guidelines to a CV I must produce for a grant application. Service To Profession. Dr. Prof, My first question is, is it a waste of time to apply to any college level position with no record of paper publication, or is there a way to demonstrate research potential in another area? that’s a good question. Quick question of clarification. you know, jordan, the 2 column spacing would seem to be the easy solution, i agree. No bullet points at all, ever, under any circumstances. Give institution, department, title, and dates (year only) of employment. So, an academic CV is one long list. There are actually a lot, since there are many fonts that look very similar. Putting all dates for all degrees would work against me. Though, I suppose it does not hurt to make it abundantly clear that you were the only one responsible for the course. I’m not sure where these belong since they demonstrate my areas of expertise but there was no real competition for publication once I landed the job. For clarification–is an adjunct position at a community college considered “professional employment” or does it go under “teaching experience”? Do you think I should still use subheadings with just one item under each, or should I just put everything together with the type of publication in parentheses after each title?

Hi all… does anyone know how to list a graduate certificate under education? I’m in my 5th year of an assistant professor position. in descending order. Unprofessional.

Or should I do something different entirely? Any thoughts on CVs for performance reviews? is divided into two major components, syntax and morphology. I’ve left-justified the year as you suggest (the years being 2006, 2005, 2003), but I wonder whether you recommend consolidating these into 1 entry or leaving them as you suggest? Maybe I have the wrong impression because most of (if not all) the CVs I have seen (including those I have obtained from colleagues and professors in my field) list dates on the right or within the entries themselves. I have a Ph.d. in Anthropology but I am applying for a non-academic job within the University. As a foreign language PhD, I’m curious where to include study abroad experience (as an instructor and even graduate student).

Thank you. 1) Is it worth to have a section for workshops/tutorials/seminars (some of which were held by renowned professors/organisations) one has attended? Thanks! These are fantastic guidelines. any thoughts on how to list acceptance into a summer institute?

I have a little question, though: in my field, having experience working on study abroad programs is highly valued, so I was wondering where in the CV should leading study abroad programs go? My feeling is in general, that one does not put a list of grad students supervised on your general, multi=purpose CV. Because candidates are evaluated by their productivity over time. Good to know! . I’m also currently shortlisted for another prestigious fellowship with less name recognition. It came to my attention recently that some folks are listing job talks under Invited Talks in their CV.

Here’s a tweak: “Books, Edited Volumes (this covers both edited collections in book form and special journal issues), Refereed Journal Articles, Book Chapters, Conference Proceedings, Book Reviews, Manuscripts in Submission (give journal title), Manuscripts in Preparation, Other Publications.” I like to see edited volumes separate from books because they have a different status from monographs.
