Outside the United States, the terms \"curriculum vitae\" or\"CV\" designate something more like a \"resume\" rather than the American use of the term, which is specifically a special format of the resume for teaching, scientific, or graduate school candidates.  \nHOW TO GET STARTED  \n• Start by making a complete list of all your background information and experience; then organize the information into categories. Content sections may include: Summary or Profile, Education, Related Coursework, Internships, Research Experience, Teaching Experience, Honors and Awards, Professional Memberships, Conference and Trainings, Leadership/Academic Service, Computer Skills, Language Skills, Future research interests, Presentations, and Publications. Follow appropriate citation rules for the latter.  \n• If you already have a resume, start by trying to elaborate and give more details about your work and related experience.  \n• Similar to a resume, you may need different versions of your CV in order to be relevant to different work positions or schools to which you are applying. Make sure you are concise, relevant, consistent, and most of all complete.  \n• Various academic disciplines may have different preferences for content, length, and formatting so it is important to seek feedback from contacts within your field of study.  \nFORMAT & STYLE  \n• Make sure your contact information is at the top of your CV. Put your name and page number on every page.  \n• Be consistent. Do not mix styles or fonts.  \n• Font size should be no larger than 12 and no smaller than 10.  \n• List work experience in reverse chronological order and include relevant position details and dates.  \n• There is no page limit for CVs, as their intention is to be a complete professional and academic overview.  \n• Highlight results and accomplishments – not just tasks  \n• Check your CV carefully for mistakes and typographical errors. The CV must be error free.  \nADDITIONAL RESOURCES  \n• Goucher College library – [https://www.goucher.edu/library/](https://www.goucher.edu/library/)  \n• For a sample, go to the CEO website: Career Resources – Resumes and curriculum vitae (CV)  \nFor other tips & questions contact the CEO at 410-337-6191 or visit the CEO Website at [https://www.goucher.edu/CEO](https://www.goucher.edu/CEO)  \nUpdated Summer 2025","cbCaircFLq1eJCPd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaircFLq1eJCPd","pdf",159241,"English","# Writing an Effective Curriculum Vitae (CV)\n## What Is a CV?\n## How to Get Started\n## Format & Style\n## Additional Resources","[{\"question\":\"What is a curriculum vitae (CV) and when is it expected?\",\"answer\":\"A CV is a comprehensive biography of educational and academic background plus teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors, and affiliations.
