Summary

Guide to Writing a
CURRICULUM VITAE (CV)
What IS a CV, anyway?
A curriculum vitae (CV) is a document that outlines your entire academic history. It is used most
often to apply for faculty positions at colleges and universities, for research-intensive positions at
national labs or research institutes, and for fellowships, grants, or awards

What categories should I include in my CV?
At the very least, a CV should include contact information, education, research experience,
teaching experience (if applicable), publications, presentations, and references. Other potential
categories are listed below and may include awards, professional affiliations, community or
university service, and others

What is the appropriate length for a CV?
Length is less important in a CV than completeness. Your CV should include your complete
academic history and is not typically limited by length, as is a resume

Should I include job descriptions for every position listed on my CV?
Not necessarily. Most academic search committees may focus solely on your institution and your
advisor. Given this focus, listing your title, institution, advisor, location, and dates you attended or
were employed there are required. Additionally, most faculty reviewers expect to see dates listed
on the left-hand side of the page

Does order matter on a CV?
Yes. It is critical for you to consider the position you are applying for and/or the audience you are
writing for when compiling a CV. For example, if you are applying for a faculty position at a small
college, you will want to list your teaching experience on the first page of your CV and your
research experience and publications later in your document. The reverse would be true if you
were applying to a research-intensive university or institute

I’m in the process of drafting my CV, but am not sure about format and style

It is a good idea to ask your advisor or a mentor in your field for a copy of his/her CV, as each
discipline has its own standards for content, style, and format

Do you have any samples?
The CV samples found on the OITE website will help you to draft and/or edit your own CV. While
the names have been changed, these are CVs from actual trainees who found employment in their
respective areas of interest. You may use these as a guide, but your words must be your own—do
NOT copy these samples word for word!
