1. CV is a summary of education and training including:
- name
- contact information (office/home address)
- education
- awards, Publications and/or Presentations (if any)
- clinical experience
- research experience (if any)
- other professional experience and/or additional relevant experience
- professional affiliations
- references
2. usually, any CV should be brief (approximately 2-4 pages, depending on your experience)
and should:
- be concise and to the point
- include all relevant experiences
- highlight strengths
- give a good clear sense of your experiences
- be professional
- not have any typos (= typographical errors)
- a CV is not a Resume
3. resumes are short, CVs longer
CVs include more details about your experiences than resumes do
because they are more academic in nature with CVs there is generally less of a concern with ‘gaps’ in
time (e.g., if you were abroad for a year)
style issues (e.g., font, paper) are much less important with CVs
