How good is your C.V.?
Putting together an effective curriculum vitae is one of the most crucial tasks in your job hunt. But if you’re like most academics, it could probably use a little polishing.
Take a look at the five C.V.'s below, submitted to us for public critique in our column by scholars in disciplines ranging from art to biology. We selected C.V.'s that were already strong but that could benefit from some revisions.
Many of our suggestions were designed to emphasize a candidate’s key qualifications. Search committees are often overwhelmed with materials, and you want a C.V. that looks impressive when someone glances at it for a few seconds.
