Curriculum Vitae 

Tips and Samples 

THE BASICS 

The  curriculum  vitae,  also  known  as  a  CV  or  vita,  is  a  comprehensive  statement  of  your 

educational background, teaching, and research experience. It is the standard  representation 

of credentials within academia. 

The full CV is only used when applying for academic positions in four-year institutions.



Do not use a CV when applying to community colleges—use a teacher-focused

résumé instead.

Tailor your CV to the specific positions to which you are applying and place more



relevant sections earlier in the document.

For a position at a teaching-focused liberal arts college, the CV will strongly



emphasize teaching.

For a position at a research-intensive university, the CV will accentuate



research.

Format can vary by field, so also seek disciplinary-specific advice from advisers,



professors, and others within your field.

There are no length restrictions for CVs.



FORMATTING 

Your CV must be well organized and easy to read.



Choose an effective format and be consistent.

Use bolds, italics, underlines, and capitalization to draw attention.



List all relevant items in reverse chronological order in each section.

Strategically place the most important information near the top and/or left side of the



page.

In general, place the name of the position, title, award, or institution on the left



side of the page and associated dates on the right.

Use a footer with page numbers and your last name, in case pages get separated.



DESCRIBE YOUR EXPERIENCES 

Articulate what you have done and take advantage of the opportunity to describe



your research and teaching experiences—do more than simply list them.

Avoid the bland phrase “responsibilities included.” This can sound like a dull job



description. Instead, use bullets to describe your activities, accomplishments, and

successes.
