- The terms CV and resume often used interchangeably but technically they are different. Purpose of both is to get you a job interview.
- These are the basic sections of the CV as well as some additional ones you might have depending on your experience or depending on what you are looking for. Disciplines have slight variations in format or content. In addition to talking about your CV with Career Services counselors, you might want to get feedback from your advisor, people in your department, etc. Start by listing everything that could be included, teaching, publications, research experience, service, then you can weed out things. You might want to check out the Chronicle of Higher Education’s and Science Career (formerly Science’s Next Wave) job webpage. They have a lot of information about how to write a CV, good cover letter, etc.
- I’m going to talk about these sections and then we’ll see some examples: Organize each section in reverse chronological order.
- RESEARCH INTERESTS GRANTS List funding agency and the projects that were funded. The work supported by the grant can be discussed in detail under EXPERIENCE PROFESSIONAL AFFILIATIONS If you have been active in the scholarly community, you should include this information here. Panel moderation would be a good example of something that might fit under this heading
- Contact info : Include phone, mailing address, email, and URL, if you have one. Do not include personal information such as Social Security number, marital status, age, number of children. It’s not required and is illegal for employers to ask about.
- Provide description of your work. You will also probably be sending a separate research statement so something brief is all you need here.
- Include field of concentration, name of diss, name of advisor, when your degree is expected (grad dates). Put names of entire committee if their names are recognizable and it would be useful to you. Start with your most recent education and work backward. Omit secondary school. If you list postdoctoral appointment under “Education,” also list it under “Experience.” and talk about it in more detail.
- Particularly important to have this section and highlight all teaching related experience if looking for a teaching position.
- PRESENTATIONS AND PUBLICATIONS If you have a long list, divide and subdivide by topics (e.g. peer reviewed papers, reviews or posters, invited talks). You can list a few publications that are in preparation
- Could call this Research Techniques
- ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Unrelated employment Knowledge of foreign languages. Positive statement about your VISA status. Exclude personal information.
- CV is longer than a resume - includes a full list of publications - space/length isn’t an issue With a resume you need to understand the needs of an employer. You will alter and edit your resume to show that understanding. The average employers spends 20 seconds on a resume – screening.
- Basic sections of resumes
- Objective or Summary shouldn’t be broad or vague. To write a good objective, you need to know something about the kind of job you’re looking at. The summary focuses on transferable skills and attributes, particularly those relevant what one is looking to do.
- Emphasize material in proportion to its probable interest for a particular audience of employers.] Sometimes one general heading called "Experience" is all you need. Sometimes you will want to subdivide this section. If you were applying for positions in science writing, for example, and wanted to highlight your science writing background, you’d have a section called Writing Experience Talk about your research using verbs and numbers.
- Some suggest you use “Qualifications” instead of the heading “Education”
- While a CV is usually longer than a resume, includes more academic detail, and is more understated, the purpose in preparing either is to interest a prospective employer enough to invite you for an personal interview. A significant difference is that a CV cites the publications of someone applying for a job which requires them, such as university teaching or industrial research. In order for a resume or curriculum vitae to be effective, it must be targeted to the employers who are going to read it.
- Be sure to tailor your resume – you will stand out
