Your CV is often the first thing a search committee sees — and in a competitive job market, how you present your accomplishments matters just as much as the accomplishments themselves. A well-organized, clearly formatted CV signals professionalism, self-awareness, and an understanding of departmental needs, while a cluttered or poorly structured one can undersell even the strongest record.
In this session, you’ll learn how to:
- Structure your CV for maximum clarity and impact, from section order to formatting choices
- Decide what to include, what to cut, and how to categorize your experiences
- Write concise, effective descriptions that highlight the significance of your work
- Tailor your CV for different types of faculty positions (research-intensive vs. teaching-intensive)
- Avoid the most common CV mistakes that distract reviewers or bury your accomplishments
Whether you’re refining an existing draft or starting from scratch, this session will give you practical, actionable guidance you can apply right away.
