In this country a CV is typically used to apply for academic, research, and some educational administration positions. It is longer than a resume and displays academic credentials and accomplishments in greater detail. A CV for a young professional can be 2 – 4 pages in length while a CV for a veteran professional may be 6 – 8 pages long.  \nPlease note: You may be asked to write a curriculum vitae for international employment. This typeof CV is different from the American CV. Please refer to our International Employment handout for more information on applying for jobs overseas.  \nFORMAT:  \nThe CV should look well organized and be easy to read quickly. Use blank space between sections and leave 1” margins on all four edges. Use CAPITALS, underlines, bold print and 􀁸 bullets to highlight and call attention to important points. Make the most important information stand out on the left side of the page. Your finished CV should be typed or printed on one side of the page on good quality, standard 8.5 x 11 resume paper that is white or off-white. It is acceptable to staple the pages in the upper left hand corner.  \nLAYOUT:  \nBegin with identifying information:  \nJANE SMITH  \n950 Main Street  \nWorcester, MA 01610  \n(508) 793-5555  \n[jsmith@clarku.edu](jsmith@clarku.edu)  \nInclude both current and permanent addresses if you expect the employer to contact you at either place. If you will be moving during the process of your job search include dates when you will beat each address:  \nJANE SMITH  \n[jsmith@clarku.edu](jsmith@clarku.edu)  \n(until May 19) (after May 19)  \n950 Main Street 11 South Street  \nWorcester, MA 01610 Princeton, NJ 07113  \nOBJECTIVE:  \nIf you have a specific career goal, indicate that in a concise statement:  \n“A research position in a biotechnology laboratory”  \n“Assistant Professor, English”  \nOtherwise, include your objective in your cover letter to a specific employer or for a specific job.  \nSUMMARY OF SKILLS (OR PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE OR QUALIFICATIONS):  \nA short statement or bulleted list highlighting your strongest skills and areas of professional expertise can be an effective way to target your CV, especially if you have a mix of experiences in your career history. Be sure to include the skills and expertise listed in the description of the job you are seeking.  \nEDUCATION:  \nGenerally, if you have been out of school less than five years, the education section should come before the experience section on your CV. Beginning with your most recent degree, list the institutions you attended, your major area of study, and the graduation date. Remember to include special programs such as a concentration or study abroad. Your thesis or research title may be listed here (in italics) if it relates to your professional goals or in another category such as Research Experience, Papers, or Publications (as applicable) .  \nClark University, Worcester, MA  \nM.A., International Development and Social Change, May 2002 Thesis title  \nB.A., Geography, May 2001  \nHonors thesis title  \nUniversity of Namibia, Africa  \nSemester abroad, Spring, 2000  \nHONORS AND AWARDS:  \nList any awards or distinctions you received, including dean’s list, cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa or Fiat Lux, fellowships and scholarships. Briefly describe any that are not self-explanatory. This section can be included within the Education section or listed separately.  \nPROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:  \nThe next several categories will vary depending on your background, experience, and the position you are seeking.
