Preparing Future Faculty

Example of a medical/health geographer's CV at a Master's Colleges & Universities: Larger Programs.

A guide for building a CV and cover letter produced by a UK government agency. It looks like a short guide, but there are many links included.

Again, detailed and has a sample CV

A sample of a CV from someone in the English field.

I thought this was a kind of fun read!

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.

Oh my gosh Katie it's too funny that we chose the same articles and I did not realize it until I scrolled down! haha

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.

Good to know the common mistakes in order to avoid them in the CV

Useful list of things to avoid on CVs

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 found this to be a very helpful guide because it listed advice in detail for each section of the CV. It is a little longer, but I feel that it will be helpful when actually putting together the CV, at least for learners like me.

These are "somewhat" in my field. I think they're a little too crowded, but it's nice to see what recent graduates' CVs look like (as opposed to my advisor's whose is 16 pages long with 60+ publications).

This is one of the only examples I've been able to find of a professor in my field. I'm finding that most professors' CVs are not publicly posted on their schools website (unless it's like ODUs where their CV is sort of smushed onto their profile page)

Here is an example of someone in the community college sector.

This looks a bit like one of my professor's CV from Northern Colorado

This CV is from John Crafton. My field is in English.

This site offers great advice on writing through the eyes of the employer.
