1.) The candidate includes "U.S. Citizen" at the top of his vita. Is this a good idea? In this case, there seems no point to it, because there's nothing whatsoever on his CV to suggest that he's not a U.S. citizen. For candidates who do have information on their CV that hints at foreign citizenship (for example, an undergraduate degree from an overseas university), we recommend that you indicate your status as a permanent resident or U.S. citizen, if either is the case.
2.) We would suggest a few changes in format. The typeface on the CV is a bit big, and could probably be dropped by a point. The left margin is awfully large, pushing the text onto more pages than would otherwise be necessary. While it's useful to highlight key content (like the title of the position) in some way, using bold type is a better choice than underlining, which is really a holdover from the days of typewriters. We suggest that if the candidate wants to place dates at the margin, the right one be used, because the eye tends to fall on the left side of a page and dates, while necessary, aren't interesting the way real content is. Each page after the first should include the candidate's name and a page number.
3.) It would be a good idea to list the candidate's postdoctoral supervisor. It also would be helpful if the research could be described in terms of what has been discovered, rather than what is being investigated, to the extent that's possible.
4.) At this stage of his career, the candidate provides too much detail about his prior research assistantships. Mentioning the purpose of the research is good, but listing the specific responsibilities is unnecessary since readers would assume that a postdoc would involve mastering such skills. Once you are a postdoc, what matters, at least in an academic environment, is your potential for generating independent research that will attract grants.
The candidate can make a stronger case for his ability to conduct independent research by giving more detail about his dissertation, similar to the treatment he gives his postdoctoral experience, and by considering adding a "Research Interests" section. Entries in such a section should be brief and specific.
One final comment about this section: Several of the research assistantships were at the same university. The candidate could name the institution only once, and then list the various positions, dates, and nature of the research done in each.
5.) Entries under "Teaching Experience" should be limited to those that took place in academic settings. The others, such as professional ski instructor, can be moved to the "Additional Experience" category. The candidate uses phrases like "responsible for" and "responsibilities included" to describe his teaching. Instead, he should use active verbs. Instead of saying "responsible for development, design, and implementation ...," he should say "developed, designed, and implemented ...," or better yet, "developed and delivered ...."
6.) In the "Additional Experience" section, besides adding the candidate's nonacademic teaching experience here, we would suggest a few other changes. Under the laboratory-coordinator position, all but the first sentence of the description should be dropped, as should the entire descriptions of the club-manager and construction-superintendent jobs. The managerial detail would be relevant for an administrative position, but not for a faculty one.
7.) Unless they turned out to be relevant to a particular faculty opening, the certifications could be dropped.
8.) Usually, we tell Ph.D.'s to put their list of publications at the end of their vitas. In this case, because the candidate has made a major career change, we suggest that he move up the sections on "Honors," "Presentations," and "Publications" and insert them following the "Teaching Experience" category. This change calls attention to his recent research accomplishments, and emphasizes his new career interests over his old ones.
