It is the standard representation of credentials within academia.  \n􀁸 Your CV should include a comprehensive list of the teachers you have studied with, as well as any master classes you have participated in.  \n􀁸 Include all relevant performance experiences, beginning with undergraduate study. This should include solo and ensemble performances, subdivided into categories such as orchestral experience, solo recitals, chamber, concertos, piano, voice, etc. You may need to list specific performances (ex: Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni, November 2010), or simply describe your role (ex: Principal Cello, University of Illinois Symphony Orchestra, 2008-2010) . If you do not include comprehensive performance experiences, your CV will appear weak when considered next to a candidate with complete information.  \n􀁸 The CV is only used when applying for academic positions in four-year institutions. Do not use a CV when applying to community colleges; use a teaching-focused résumé instead.  \n􀁸 There are no length restrictions for CVs, but be certain that all the information you include is relevant.  \nFORMATTING  \nYour CV must be well organized and easy to read.  \n􀁸 Choose an effective format and be consistent.  \n􀁸 Use bolds, italics, underlines, and capitalization to draw attention.  \n􀁸 List all relevant items in reverse chronological order in each section.  \n􀁸 Strategically locate the most important information near the top and/or left side of the page. In general, place the name of the position, title, award, or institution on the left side of the page and associated dates on the right.  \n􀁸 Use a footer to include page numbers and your last name to help the reader in case pages get separated.  \nDESCRIBE YOUR EXPERIENCES  \n􀁸 Articulate what you have done and take advantage of the opportunity to describe your performance and teaching experiences—do more than simply list them. For instance, be sure to mention if you are a specialist in the performance of contemporary music.  \n􀁸 Avoid the bland phrase “responsibilities included.” This can sound like a dull job description. Instead, use bullets to describe your activities and successes.  \n[217-333-4610 | GradCareers@illinois.edu | grad.illinois.edu/CareerDevelopment](217-333-4610 | GradCareers@illinois.edu | grad.illinois.edu/CareerDevelopment)   \nCV SAMPLE  \nElizabeth Wilder  \n000 W.
