5 Purpose of CV and Resume Describe previous experiences Used by employers to decide whether to interview you Used during interviews to formulate questions CV History, education, accomplishments Resume Skills and abilities
6 Redefining Yourself Academia: Job title (Professor) Subjects (American history) Outside of Academia What you ve done and could do (transferable skills) CV History, education, accomplishments Resume Skills and abilities
7 Caveat Not all jobs outside of academia require a resume. Some require a CV.
8 Where Exceptions CV Academia Employers outside of the US US federal Government (PhD. Level) International Organization in US Development consulting firms Think Tank Resume US employment: private sector, government, and non profit Content Full list of qualifications Summary of Qualifications Length As long as you need 1-2 pages Style Not important Very important
9 If a US employer asks for a CV Check with the employer Confirm with others in the field Create a CV that details your skills; include a full or partial publication list
10 CV to Resume: Conceptual Shift My degree and publications are the main reasons why I ll get a job My activities that are unrelated to teaching, research, and publishing are unimportant There s one way to view myself as a PhD in X field and my CV represents that one view. The skills I acquired while I got my graduate degree will help me get a job Outside activities are valuable because they demonstrate skills and interests There are many ways to view myself and my abilities, depending on the type of job I d like.
11 Consequences of This Conceptual Shift 1. Resumes have different structure than CVs 2. There s different ways you can represent yourself on a resume 3. You need to break down your CV s job titles and accomplishments into action verbs 4. You have to understand what an employer wants when you make your resume 5. You ll need different resumes for different jobs.

16 Chronological Functional Combination How Is a Resume Structured?
17 Format: Uses: Most widely used style Information presented in reverse chronological order Highlights progressive work experience Best for those who have significant experience in the field where they are seeking a job Problems: Resume Type: Chronological Less effective if changing careers or have little work experience Older but relevant experience may be overlooked
18 Resume Type: Chronological See page 55 of Career Guide
19 Format: Uses: Experiences are grouped by skills (e.g. leadership skills, communication skills) The titles and dates of the experiences are listed at the top or bottom of the resume Good for those changing careers or who have little work experience or gaps in employment Problems: Resume Type: Functional It can be confusing because the relationship between a skill and an experience can be lost
20 Resume Type: Functional See page 47 of Career Guide
21 Format: Uses: Experiences are given in reverse chronology but are arranged by type of experience (e.g. communication experience, leadership experience) Accentuates your skills Draws direct parallels with skills in job ads Helpful if you are applying for a wide range of jobs Problems: Resume Type: Combination Can be difficult to fit one experience into just one category
22 Resume Type: Combination See page 48 of Career Guide
