Resume and CV Writing
Note: there is no magic formula,
but there are solid guidelines
Please:
Ask lots of questions
Share alternative viewpoints
Help others by providing suggestions & feedback
CV vs. Resume
 A resume is a 1-2 page summary of your skills,
experience and education.
 A CV is your “course of life”. Contains all of your
academic accomplishments, including:
 Education and training
 Awards and honors
 Professional experience
 Affiliations
 Publications & Presentations
 Etc.
 Lengths of CVs vary (minimum: 2 pages)
Tip: Tailor resume to each job. Do not tailor CV (edit cover letter)

CVs are for….
 Academic job search
 Scholarships and fellowships
 Grants and awards
 Promotion
Steps In Writing CVs and Resumes
1. Content
2. Wordsmithing
3. Format & Aesthetics
4. Proofreading
1. Content
Put the basics up front

Experience
 First, decide whether you are writing a resume or CV.
This determines what experience to include and how
to present it.
 Group experiences into categories, and put the most
important categories first – e.g.
 Paid vs. Volunteer (resume)
 Can lump paid & volunteer together (CV)
