HOW IS IT DIFFERENT THAN A RESUME?  \nA curriculum vitae or “CV” may be a new and unfamiliar term for you. A CV is a structured outline of  \nyour education, publications, projects, awards and employment history. It can vary in length from one to several pages, depending upon the variety and number of your experiences. A resume, in contrast, is normally a brief, one page overview of your job experiences. A curriculum vitae is used primarily when applying for academic, education, scientific or research positions. It is also applicable when applying for fellowships or grants.  \nAs with a resume, you may need different versions of a CV for different types of positions. Based upon your education and experience, you will need to include sections that are most relevant and pertinent to your career goal. We suggest you ask a graduate advisor or other faculty member to review your vitae for specific content and format, as they are experts in their field. In addition to the basics of your name, contact information,  \neducation and experience, a CV may include:  \n􀂃 Research Experience  \n􀂃 Teaching Experience  \n􀂃 Related Leadership Experience  \n􀂃 Internship or Rotation Experience  \n􀂃 Presentations & Publications  \n􀂃 Awards, Grants and Fellowships  \n􀂃 Professional Affiliations  \n􀂃 Licensure  \n􀂃 Skills (lab techniques and equipment, computer programs, languages, etc.)  \nWHAT DO EMPLOYERS LOOK FOR ON CVS?  \nWhile each employer will have an ideal candidate in mind, the following are traits that most employers will look for and/or be cautious of when reviewing a CV. Things employers look for:  \n􀂃 Signs of achievements  \n􀂃 Willingness to work hard  \n􀂃 Specifics in job descriptions  \n􀂃 Patterns of stability and career direction  \n􀂃 Completeness of resume  \n􀂃 Neatness/Professional presentation (including grammar and spelling)  \nWHAT SHOULD YOU AVOID PUTTING ON A CV?  \nEqual opportunity employment clauses state that some of the items listed below could provide a basis for discrimination. Potential employers typically don’t WANT to know anything that could put them at risk of a discrimination suit later on. Include only information that is pertinent to the professional nature of the position for which you are applying. Leave all these things off your CV:  \n􀂃 Social Security \\#  \n􀂃 Citizenship  \n􀂃 Age or Birth date  \n􀂃 Marital status  \n􀂃 Description of health  \n􀂃 License numbers  \n􀂃 Travel history (unless for study abroad)  \n􀂃 Recreational activities or hobbies  \n􀂃 Previous pay rates  \n􀂃 Irrelevant awards, publications, and memberships  \n􀂃 Reasons for leaving previous jobs  \n􀂃 􀀀The phrase “References available upon request.” (This is assumed) .  \nFORMATTING AND LAYOUT TIPS  \n􀀹 Stay away from templates. They are unoriginal and difficult to edit.  \n􀀹 Use 10-12 point font size and 1 inch margins (most popular) . Anything smaller is difficult to read.  \n􀀹 Print on a high quality resume paper in white or off-white.  \n􀀹 􀀀Be careful not to overuse bullets, as it may lead to a cluttered appearance.  \n􀀹 Do not use more than two types of font on your resume.  \n􀀹 Include a header or footer on each additional page indicating your name and page number.  \n􀀹 Spell out names and do not use abbreviations (for example, heme/onc is wrong, Hematology/Oncology is correct) .  \n􀀹 Be consistent in using (or not using) periods at the end of your descriptions.  \nGRAMMAR TIPS  \n􀀹 Do not use personal pronouns (I, me, you, we, etc) .  \n􀀹 Try to use short, simple phrases that begin with action verbs.  \n􀀹 Use past tense verbs for experience you are no longer involved in.  \n-A common mistake: “Lead” vs.“Led”(Led is correct past tense version)  \nREFERENCES  \n[http://www.careers.ucr.edu/Students/Graduates/CV/index.html](http://www.careers.ucr.edu/Students/Graduates/CV/index.html)  \n[http://psych.hanover.edu/handbook/vita2.html](http://psych.hanover.edu/handbook/vita2.html)  \n[http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/careers/guide-samplecv.html","cbCaivVXdecE9shs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivVXdecE9shs","pdf",203503,9,"English","# What Is a CV?\n## How Is It Different Than a Resume?\n# What Do Employers Look For on CVs?\n# What Should You Avoid Putting on a CV?\n# Formatting and Layout Tips\n# Grammar Tips\n# References","[{\"question\":\"What sections should a curriculum vitae typically include?\",\"answer\":\"A CV may include research experience, teaching experience, related leadership, internship or rotation experience, presentations and publications, awards/grants/fellowships, professional affiliations, licensure, and skills such as lab techniques, equipment, computer programs, and languages.\"},{\"question\":\"How does a CV differ from a resume?\",\"answer\":\"A resume is normally a brief, one-page overview of job experiences, while a CV is a structured outline covering education, publications, projects, awards, and employment history, often spanning multiple pages.\"},{\"question\":\"What information should be avoided on a CV?\",\"answer\":\"Avoid including items that could create discrimination risk, such as social security number, citizenship, age or birth date, marital status, health description, license numbers, travel history (unless for study abroad), recreational activities or hobbies, previous pay rates, irrelevant awards/publications/memberships, and reasons for leaving prior jobs.\"}]","Curriculum Vitae - Overview and Formatting Tips | PDF",1789326586]
