Curriculum Vitae

Tips and Samples

THE BASICS

The curriculum vitae, also known as a CV or vita, is a comprehensive statement of your educational
background, teaching, and research experience. It is the standard representation of credentials within
academia.

 The full 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 teacher-focused


résumé instead.

 Tailor your CV to the specific positions to which you are applying and place more
relevant sections earlier in the document.

– For a position at a teaching-focused liberal arts college, the CV will strongly


emphasize teaching.

– For a position at a research-intensive university, the CV will accentuate


research.

 Format can vary by field, so also seek disciplinary-specific advice from advisers,
professors, and others within your field.

 There are no length restrictions for CVs.

FORMATTING

 Your CV must be well organized and easy to read.

 Choose an effective format and be consistent.

 Use bolds, italics, underlines, and capitalization to draw attention.

 List all relevant items in reverse chronological order in each section.

 Strategically place 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.

 Use a footer with page numbers and your last name, in case pages get separated.

DESCRIBE YOUR EXPERIENCES

 Articulate what you have done and take advantage of the opportunity to describe your
research and teaching experiences—do more than simply list them.

 Avoid the bland phrase “responsibilities included.” This can sound like a dull job
description. Instead, use bullets to describe your activities, accomplishments, and
successes.
