Looking for some ideas about how to improve your curriculum vitae? Check out the CV Doctor's advice in the following three Career Talk columns:

In our October 12, 2001, column, we offered advice on three CV's and transformed each into a résumé for a nonacademic or administrative job.
In our October 20, 2000, column, we evaluated the CV's of two recent Ph.D.'s looking for faculty jobs and of a faculty member turned administrator.
In our September 17, 1999, column, we critiqued five CV's in disciplines from art to biology.
