Your CV is a running record of your academic and professional achievements and experiences. Typically, CVs for doctoral candidates, postdocs, and recent grads are 3-6 pages. To get started with your CV review this handout and ask your advisors and mentors for additional samples.  \nRemember that CVs will vary depending on academic discipline—check with faculty members and colleagues within your department and discipline. Understand that the purpose of every document in your application packet is to show how you are forward-thinking, valuable, and a great match with the job description. Consider tailoring your CV for each job description. This takes time and energy but targeting your materials in the beginning should save you time in the end (in other words, you submit fewer applications and get a job in a shorter amount of time) . Finally, always have somebody proofread your materials before you send them out. Having a misspelled word on the first page of your vitae is a good way to get your materials discarded.  \nYour CV should be easy to read. Search committees read dozens if not hundreds of CVs so you want to make their experience of reading your CV as pleasant as possible.  \n> Use 11 or 12 point font.  \n> Set your margins to approximately one inch.  \n> Make good use of white space so your achievements don’t run together.  \n> Consider using bold, underline, or capitalization for important information. Be consistent with how you use these formatting strategies throughout your CV. In some disciplines less is always more.  \n> Put your name in bold letters one or two font sizes bigger than the rest of the CV.  \n> Include a header with your name and page number on each page in case the pages get separated.  \n> Do not use abbreviations and acronyms that may not be understood by individuals outside your university or discipline – spell out the words.  \n> Do not write big blocks of wordy text. Craft elegant, short descriptions of experiences.  \n> Do not print your CV on both sides of the paper (when your CV is copied for search committee members, the backsides might be overlooked) .  \n> Print your CV on plain, white, heavyweight paper using a laser printer if submitting a hard copy.  \nYou should organize your CV so that the most relevant and compelling information is near the beginning and the less pertinent information is near the end.  \n> The organization of your CV should be based largely on the job description and job priorities. If the position emphasizes research, make sure your research experience is prioritized in your CV.  \n> Split long lists into subcategories. If you have presented at many conferences, you could divide your list of presentations into subcategories by type (poster or session), professional affiliation, etc.  \n> Organize the entries within each section in reverse chronological order.  \nThere are many potential categories to include on your CV. While the first two categories are fairly standard across disciplines and job descriptions, the titles and order of the rest of your categories will vary based on your personal strengths and contributions as well as the target discipline or field.  \nContact Information: Include your name (big and often bold), address, phone number, and one professional email.  \n> If you receive mail on campus, it’s a good idea to list your campus address too. This also demonstrates your university affiliation.  \n> Make sure your voicemail box has an appropriate greeting.  \n> If your current last name is different than the last name you used on publications, presentations, or other activities, you may include a statement to this effect in this section (Previously Known As, Also Known As, etc.), or put the other last name in parentheses between your current first and last name.  \nEducation: List your degrees in reverse chronological order.
