    "You'll spot that I haven't mentioned 'work-life balance'. I don't believe in it. There are only 24 hours in a day, and it's all my life. My work is my life, my home is my life, my family is my life and my addiction to mid-century Belgian ceramics on eBay is also my life."

    I am certainly interested in having children while I pursue a career in academia. I enjoyed this article because it was a refreshing departure from the usual negativity associated with the topic. Obviously being a parent and an academic are not mutually exclusive titles, so here's someone who talks about how she does it!

    A great article explaining why many women have to choose between tenure and children. It also has the Statement of Principles on Family Responsibilities and Academic Work by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP).

    Very interesting! Gives a realistic overview of what academic work looks like. I learned that the average age to receive a Ph.D. is 33.

    These samples have been generously donated by UCSF students, postdocs, and alumni, in order to offer you ideas about how to present your own skills and experiences. We make no claims that they are perfect, but we offer them as useful examples.... I think this is very useful because there are multiple types of CVs to look at. Additionally there are helpful tips throughout the main page as well.

    This is one of those sites I cross-reference when I'm writing CVs and other academic documents. What I like about this page is its list form and definitive do's and don'ts. It's reminiscent of a how-to guide and easy to follow.
  • Terri Konstantinou on 04 Feb 16
     
    This guide is detailed, clear, and very helpful. I also love that when someone comments on the page asking specific questions, Karen herself takes the time to answer and initiate discussion. The only downside is it is a little older, but if the guidelines still apply it doesn't really matter.

    Owl is the gold standard (for me personally) wen it comes to writing. Combined with cross-referencing, I find this site to be an invaluable source.

    What is a CV? How is it different than a resume? What should I include? Is there a standard format? How should I enter my work description entries? Find OWL's answers here!

    This handout provides an overview of strategies for writing an effective curriculum vitae. This topic is particularly important for graduate students who are entering the academic job market for the first time

    This definitely strikes a chord, its one of those things I was told I had to choose between if I wanted to go for my PhD: family or career- and by female faculty members! I won't spoil the article, but I agree- babies do matter in the academic career of women.

    I loved this for the simple truth it reveals: we all find balance in our day through a full and extended network of supports and services - whether IT or a maid, or whatever else - that make it "work." It's just as true for academia as for any other profession.

    This is an interesting "CV," styled more in the European style or alike an American resume. I like how direct it is, with content grouped to align, presumably, to reflect the position's requirements and the job seeker's skills. I wonder how this can be cross-walked, from a professional experience standpoint, to align better with traditional CV style and content. So many of the other CV examples lack a non-academic professional experience section.

    Claire, below is a link to a professor in my department with previous non-academic professional experience. This is the online version of his CV, but it appears in essentially the same format on his "paper" CV. http://ww2.odu.edu/~ckeating/cv/experience.shtml

    I like the suggestions to make the CV easy to skim, make the important parts stand out, not use course codes for classes, use page numbers, and putting things in reverse chronological order.

  • Terri Konstantinou on 04 Feb 16
     
    I found this to be very helpful because there are many pages with samples of CVs and how to set up CVs (all very helpful), but sometimes I feel that looking at what not to do is equally as helpful.

    I like how the headers were much more distinguished from the text below (the Maxwell link was a little more difficult to read). It makes sense to see much more verbiage in a History field.
