Purpose
A
curriculum vitae or résumé* presents
the achievements of your professional and academic life in such
a way that anyone who reads it will quickly and easily be able
to find the information they want. Think of your CV as an advertising
brochure that sells a product, and the product is you. We presume
that you are a good product that employers would want to buy you
if they realised how good you are; unfortunately, employers, like
the rest of us, often buy the best marketed product, not the best
product. Your
CV is the one chance you have to persuade that employer or PhD
program that you are the right person for them.This
page provides guidelines and suggestions to help you use that
chance effectively. At the end you will also find a practice
activity where you can identify the errors of a bad CV, and
two examples of 'good' CVs. For
more examples of CVs and further useful tips and suggestions,
take a look at the Student Services 'Career and Study Abroad'
manual.
*In
the US, a curriculum vitae is usually a document for academic purposes.
A similar document which focuses on getting a job is called a résumé.
In Britain, the term résumé is not usually used, and if it is, it
is a synonym for CV. Ultimately, what matters is less what you call
your document and more whether it has the appropriate content and
presentation. On this page, much of the time, except where indicated,
the terms are used as synonyms.
Audience
You
may be writing a CV either to get a study place, or a job. Whichever
it is, certain things will be the same, but there will be important
differences. For this reason, it is better to avoid the 'one-size-fits-all'
approach to CV writing. Either keep two versions available, for
example one for study and one for jobs, or better still, revise
and reorganize your CV for each job or study place you apply for.
When
you send in your CV, be it for a job or a study place, it will be
just one of hundreds. The person reading these CVs will not give
more than one or two minutes to each one, and will expect you to
present the information in a way that is easy for them to access
- they will want to see the stuff that matters most to them first,
not have to wade through information that is important to you but
not to them. Throughout the process of writing your CV/résumé
keep this person in mind and try to imagine what you would want
to see if you were in their position.
The
Study CV
When
applying for a study place, it will be important to emphasize your
academic abilities. Your education will take pride of place, and
summer schools, conferences (especially if you have presented),
publications and awards or scholarships should be listed. Employment
should also appear, especially any work which is connected in any
way with your field of research interest, though small, irrelevant
jobs like working evenings in a restaurant are of no interest and
should be left out.
The
Work CV (Résumé)
When
you apply for a job, your prospective employer is going to be most
interested in your previous work experience and what you have learnt
from it, so it will probably want to come first, before your education.
Education will also be important, but details will not. What courses
you took or what you wrote your thesis about are unlikely to interest
an employer unless they are directly related to the work.
Education should be a short section and the main space will be devoted
to your employment. Scholarships, conferences and so on can usually
be left out, and unless they are directly relevant to the job, as
can publications. In a résumé it is particularly
important to emphasise the skills that you gained from a particular
job. This is done in a list of bullet points usually set in under
the job title & employer (see below).
Content
Decisions
about what to put in and in how much detail are to an extent determined
by audience and purpose, but there are two further principles that
can guide you in writing a good CV: selective truth and less
is more.
Truth
The
first thing to be said is that you should never lie on a CV. Having
said that, an employer, unlike a court of law, does not require
you to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. We all have
failures in our lives, whether they are failed exams or jobs where
we didn't get on. There is no need to mention your failures in your
CV. If at school you took three exams and failed one, don't say
you failed one, just mention the two you passed. If you started
a job, really hated it, argued with your boss and left after 2 months,
don't put it on the CV. If someone asks, of course, you will have
to tell the truth, but you are under no obligation to present yourself
in a bad light from the outset. There is of course a limit to how
much you can sweep under the carpet. If you failed a whole 3 year
degree, you may have a hard time leaving it out altogether, but
you can perhaps mention it as 'other studies'. It doesn't look particularly
good, but you should have thought of that when you were out drinking
instead of revising for your final exams.
Less
is more
The
length of a CV is partly determined by cultural factors - a good
Australian CV will be at least 5 pages, a British CV maximum 2-
and partly by how long your life has been, but as a rule, it is
worth remembering that in whatever situation you send a CV, yours
will be just one amongst many. Employers and selectors may have
to read a large number of CVs, and if a document does not give them
the information they need within 1-2 minutes, they are likely to
reject it without looking any further. If you can keep to one page
without selling yourself short, do.
What
to include
a)
Personal Details
Your
name should be instantly visible, which means it should be bigger
and clearer than the rest of the personal details text. Either you
can put it on the same line as the words 'Curriculum Vitae', or
on a separate line beneath but in the same size type. It is also
fine to put only your name at the top and omit the words 'curriculum
vitae'.
Other
usual details are your nationality (and citizenship if it is different,
and important for the employer to know for technical reasons). Whether
to include date of birth or marital status is a cultural issue.
The Americans don't put them in, the British usually do. If you
have a recognizable European given name like Mariana or Stefan,
you don't need to indicate your sex, but if you have a name like
Priit or Marzhan which is unlikely to enable people outside your
own country to guess, it is helpful to say. No information about
your parents should be included.
b)
Contact Address
Traditionally
comes near the top, though there is actually no reason why it should,
other than it's where people expect it. Only include a current address
and a permanent address if there is a chance the person you
are writing to will need to contact you again after you have left
CEU. Addresses are necessary but they are boring and take up valuable
space.
c)
Objective
Your
objective is something that only appears on US job résumés.
An objective, like a cover letter, should always be exactly tailored
to the employer that the résumé is going to. In order to formulate
your objective clearly, ask yourself why you are applying to this
particular company. If your answer is because you want to get an
entry level position (first job) and the company is in the
business of international marketing, then your objective
is:
An entry level position in an international marketing company
Easy,
huh? It may seem obvious to you that if you are applying to a marketing
company, you want to work for a marketing company, but it never
hurts to make the obvious explicit.
c)
Education
The
first question is the order in which to put your different studies
- chronological or reverse (most recent first). The argument in
favor of chronological order is that people can see how your career
develops. Proponents of reverse order argue that your most recent
achievements will be your most impressive and most relevant and
therefore need to catch the reader's eye first. This argument is
particularly strong the older and more experienced you are, and
when you are applying for jobs where your recent experience is relevant.
If you only have 2 or 3 items it probably doesn't matter much, but
be consistent: do both Education and Employment in the same order.
The
second question is the order in which to put the infomation within
each entry. Here opinions differ as to whether dates, degree title
or instituion should come first, but whichever order you choose,
make sure you are consistent, and that you use the same order for
your employment section.
Dates
Whichever
order you use, do give dates. In the case of a degree, this usually
means the date of graduation. If you give a graduation date for
your studies at CEU, it will obviously be in the future. It is therefore
not really necessary to embellish it with explanations that this
will be your expected graduation date if all goes well and you manage
to pass your exams. You can give dates to the nearest month, but
for a degree, just the year is probably enough. People know that
most universities run from October to June.
Title
Limit
your degree name to the title (e.g. MA) and the subject. You may
well have done your thesis on changes in family structures in late
eighteenth century rural Lithuania, but "History" is enough. You
will only need to provide details of courses or your thesis title
if you are writing an academic CV. Even here, if your past studies
are not relevant to your future plans (e.g. you want to switch from
Economics to Medieval History) there is probably little point in
mentioning too many details. Only an overall final grade is needed.
A detailed breakdown of grades is unnecessary.
Name
of Institution
Again,
keep it simple if possible. The name of your alma mater may be 'The
Basil Tlostanov University of Vladivostok, School of Social and
Cultural Anthropology of European Races' but 'Vladivostok University'
is all anyone needs to know.
British
Style
In
British style, dates come on the left, and the headings and the
text are both flush (level) with the left margin.
Education
1989
- 1993 BA Honours, Economics, University of Leeds
1993
- 1994 MA Economics, University of Edinburgh
American
Style
In
American style, the information comes in the opposite order to
the British or German CV. Institution comes first on the left,
then degree inset underneath, and date on the right.
Education
University of Wisconsin Superior 1991
- 1995
BA Honours, Economics
Brattlebro
University, Vermont 1995
- 1997
Master of Business Administration
d)
Employment
Much
of what is said above goes for Employment as well. Dates should
always be included, accurate to the month, not the day. Job title
and employer's name should also be there, though opinions differ
over which should come first. It is generally no longer considered
necessary to give the employer's address, but it is good to mention
the city or the country to give an idea where it happened. Also
be aware of the level of knowledge of your reader. If you worked
in Moscow, most people know Moscow is in Russia and you don't need
to say so. If you worked in Pisek, on the hand, beautiful as it
is, few people will know where is, and you may want to tell them.
Particularly
in a job CV, your prospective employer will want to know what you
have learnt from your work experience. It is therefore a important
to list as bullet points under each job the principal duties you
were involved in and the things you achieved. Commercial CV companies
particularly emphasise the importance of stressing your achievements.
For example, instead of "helped organise conference" you
might say "successfully organised major conference".
e)
Awards and Scholarships
These
are only necessary in a study CV, and should be kept brief. The
date, the funding body and the name of the sources of study is enough.
f)
Conferences attended
Unless
you are desperate for something to fill up space, it is probably
only worth to mentioning conferences where you have presented. Include
the date, title of conference, location, and the title of your presentation.
Only needed in academic CVs.
g)
Publications
Again,
these are principally for academic CVs, unless it is relevant to
your professional job. Date, title of paper and of the journal (including
volume number) is enough, or date, title and publisher in the case
of a book.
h)
Other
At
the end of your CV come the smaller categories of minor but useful
skills such as languages, computing skills, driving license etc.
For language, stick to simple scale of ability such as fluent/good/fair/basic.
Languages you only have a very limited command of and which are
not relevant to the job are probably not worth including.
Hobbies and interests are not necessary on a study CV. There are
some experts who say that if you include your hobbies on a work
résumé it will give the employer the
impression you are a balanced person. On the other hand, the same
people point out all the prejudices employers may have against certain
hobbies (stamp-collecting = boring; protecting the environment or
wildlife = politically dangerous, and so on). Decide for yourself,
but remember it is the least important part of the CV.
Appearance
Few
documents require such care in their design and such skill with
word processing software as a curriculum vitae. Even the best CV
can be ruined by cramped, fussy or untidy presentation. In laying
out your CV, there are three basic principles that should be born
in mind: consistency, clarity and simplicity.
Consistency
When
you choose the font, style (bold, italic etc.) or point size for
a given type of information, such as job dates, stick to it. Make
sure if one section heading is Arial 12 pt bold, all section headings
are Arial 12 pt bold and that none of them is underlined or italic.
If the dates under Education are 11 pt, make sure that under Employment
they are not 10 pt. If one entry has a bullet point, put bullet
points on all. If you use paragraph spacing, make sure that you
have the same space after or before each paragraph of the same type.
Clarity
The
information on your CV should stand out. This means that it should
not be too small nor too cramped. White space is very powerful in
design because it gives power to the little that is there. Packing
your page as full as possible makes it visually unattractive and
hard to read. Below are some guidelines:
- Ensure
your margins are 2.5 cm minimum all round (NB: send Page Setup
to A4 - the MS Word default is US Letter, which will give you
uneven margins on European A4 paper.)
- Spread
out the information. If what you have to say doesn't fill the
page, don't leave all the white space at the bottom; put empty
lines between sections to separate them more clearly. If you
have to have two pages, don't just put the last five lines on
page two, spread the sections out a bit - and make sure a section
is not split over two pages.
- Use
the width of the page. Few lines of a CV will take the width
of the page. If all lines are short, the text will all sit on
the left and the result will be unbalanced. If this is the case,
allow bigger margins.
- Do,
whenever possible, however, make sure that title lines (such
as date, job title, employer) do not wrap (i.e. go onto a second
line). This can be achieved either by setting your margins to
your longest line or reducing the number of words in that line.
Descriptions of duties and skills can wrap if necessary, but
make sure that you do not end up with an isolated word or two
on a new line. Use (shift+enter)
to
split the sentence in the place you want without starting a new
paragraph.
Simplicity
A
CV is a professional document; its appearance should be serious
and businesslike, without clutter. The following guidelines can
help make sure your CV looks neat and serious:
- Do
not use more than a maximum of two different fonts, and these
should be standard fonts like Times (serif) or Arial (sans serif).
- Unless
you are applying to be a hairdresser or a beautician, avoid
decorative fonts.
- There
is a convention that where two fonts are used, headings should
be sans serif (e.g. Arial) and text should be serif
(e.g. Times or Garamond). However, some CV agencies now
suggest you use one sans serif font only, especially if you
may be faxing your CV, as serif fonts are harder to read on
a poorly printed fax.
- Avoid
mixing too many different styles such as bold, italics
or underlining.
- Bold
or small caps (small letters replaced by small capitals) can
be used for headings, but All Caps (all capital letters), popular
in the days of typewriters when all letters were the same size,
is now rather clumsy looking.
- Avoid
too wide a variety of point sizes. A good range to use might
be 11 pt for basic text, and 12 pt for headings, or if you have
a lot to fit in, 11 pt and 10 pt. Don't go below 10 pt.
- Avoid
boxes and lines around text areas as these make the page look
cluttered.
The
Technical Stuff
All
the above assumes that you are going to write your CV in MS Word
or another similar word-processing program. Some peole would like
to make better use of multimedia possibilities, using html code
or other file types. Bear in mind, however, that not all employers
may have the software to read some multimedia files, and even
if they do, they may find such an approach pretentious and unnecessary.
A traditional text document is a safer bet.
It
has been suggested that some employers may be afraid of Word attachments,
believing that these contain viruses. This can of course be true.
The sure way to avoid this risk is by sending your CV as an .rtf
or .pdf file (both types are safe against viruses) but the technology-shy
employer may not know this. Some agencies now suggest you paste
your CV into the body of an e-mail. If you do this, bear in mind
that you will need to sacrifice a lot of detail and keep things
very clear and simple as you will not have any of the advantages
of style, format or font at your disposal.
Below are some brief guidelines for using MS Word to write your
CV. You can always convert the file into .pdf later and
maintain the format and layout.
Spaces,
tabs and tables
The
thing that marks you out as a real computer illiterate is positioning
text with the space bar. OK, so you don't do that. The next really
amateur thing is positioning with tab stops. Professionals use
styles and tables to lay out information neatly.
Styles
MS
Word has a sophisticated style facility that you may have used
for headings in written assignments. The 'Style…' command in the
Tool menu allows you to create and edit styles so that, for example,
all your headings look the same, all your title lines look the
same, and you can change the appearance of all of them at once.
You can even arrange styles so that when you press return at the
end of a section heading, you automatically get the style you
need for the first line under that heading. Use MS Word Help to
get more information on using Styles.
Tables
Particularly
if you have two columns on the page, a table can be a big help
in lining things up. It can also mean that you don't have to
go tabbing across the page when you have text on the right and
none on the left. Never use visible lines in a table though,
as they clutter the page and make it look full.
Peer
Evaluation & Revision
Before
you send off your CV, make sure you get a friend to look at it and
see what they think. Better still, bring it to the Center for Academic
Writing for a consultation. It is often
said that a single spelling mistake can lead to a CV being rejected.
It is hard to say if this is true, but it is a theory that you will
probably not want to test.

The
Mistakes
Personal
Details
In
the first part of the CV, Maria makes several mistakes, the most
obvious being the lack of prominence given to her name. As her nationality
and citizenship are the same, she hardly needs to mention both.
Another small point is that she writes her date of birth in numbers
only (12.7.75). This is potentially confusing, as a British person
would read this as 12 July and an American as December 7. In order
to save space, Maria could well put her personal details and address
side by side, using a table to ensure they are lined up nicely,
as the example below shows.

Education
As
regards secondary school, there was no need to mention failed
Biology, and it is not really necessary to tell the reader that
Hungarian and so on are 'subjects studied'. At degree level, it
was unnecessary for Maria to mention that her degree is in 18th
century Hungarian history unless she is applying for further research
possibilities in that specific area. Similarly, the topic of her
CEU MA thesis is not going to be of interest to most readers of
the CV. As Maria has given the range of years (1989 - 1993) for
her school study, she should do the same for her university study,
not just give the date of graduation. Otherwise she should give
the graduation date only for all studies. A minor formatting point
is that her failure to use tables means that the lines for different
entries do not line up.

Conferences
There
is little need for Maria to mention the Szeged conference at all
as she did not present a paper, but if she does include it (eg.
in an academic CV), she should certainly not say that she did
not present. Details of the Kosice conference are missing and
the information which is there is not presented in the same order
as the entry for Szeged. The style used for the heading 'Conferences'
is quite different from that used for 'Education'. It is a small
point, but the title 'Witch burning In Kosice' should have capital
'B' for 'Burning', and small 'i' for 'in'.

Publications
There
is little wrong with this section, except that the date of publication
is missing. It is probably not necessary to include the name of
the publisher and the pages on which the article can be found (or
the number of pages, in the case of a book). No-one is going to
mark you down for not following Turabian on a CV.

Employment
This
section is particularly messy. Three different jobs are presented
in three different formats, and the order of the jobs is the reverse
of that used for the entries under 'Education'. The formatting of
lines for the three jobs does not line up with the rest of the CV,
nor do they line up with each other. The heading for 'Employment'
should have the same style as Education and Conferences. The information
about waitressing is probably unnecessary in an academic CV, but
would be relevant in a job CV. The decision whether to detail the
duties of the waitressing job depends largely on whether it is relevant
to the position being applied for, and how many other, more important
jobs you have had. As Maria has two more relevant and recent jobs,
she probably does not need to detail the duties of her waitressing,
but in any case there is no need to explain that she worked because
she needed money. Most of us do.

Good CV
The

& Career Advising Center Manual. They provide two examples of
how to present your CV for a research or study aplication, and a
résumé for a US employer. It is important to emphasise that this
is not the only way to write a résumé or a CV, and that differences
between these and other examples on this page and elsewhere do not
mean that one or another approach is wrong, simply that there are
a number of ways to present yourself. If you are unsure about any

Links
Extremely lengthy and detailed (even more so than our page!) with
lots of tips and suggestions, though there are no actual examples.
Very job-oriented.
This one, on the other hand, has the examples without the suggestions.
Again very commercially oriented, but there's no charge for looking.
Clear and not too commercial guidelines, with examples of good and
bad CV's. Also relatively brief - you won't be up all night reading
this one.
