Preparing Future Faculty

"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!

Good links to evidence that working too much has negative health outcomes, taking time off has positive health and productivity outcomes "Work-life balance: what do professors do?" by this blogger is another good post.

I have the PDF of this if anyone is interested. Individuals who work longer hours, perceive less job-based support for work/family issues, have spouses who demonstrate less support for career goals, and who are less satisfied with day care arrangements report greater levels of work and family stress. Women reported greater academic and family stress and perceptions of less institutional support for balance of work and family as compared to men.

This is a good broad example for a health sciences program.

Interesting use of ePortfolio, included links to examples of her presentations or links to pertinent articles; maybe a bit long but I think this is really engaging

Most of the ones I looked up were realively bland for my field, but I liked the way Dr. Laprade designed her website and presented her teaching philosophy

Always worth sending people to OWL to see examples and formatting for common academic genres.

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

Curriculum Vitaes (also called "vitas") and resumes have similar purposes - as jobseeker marketing documents that provide key information about your skills, experiences, education, and personal qualities to prove that you are the ideal candidate for a job in an easy-to-digest format. Primarily used in Europe, CVs differ slightly from resumes in their use format, and length.

This is someone with a more clinical background that went into the academic setting. Not much research, but it gives me some ideas of how to display my clinical side.

This is an example of one of the more well-known researchers/professors that is in the same line of study I am going into. As you will see, it is quite extensive! The highlights section, I can't decide if I like that or think it is sanctimonious...maybe a little of both

There is a lot going on here. Doesn't appeal to my eye personally but it's an example

This one appealed to me the most out of the ones I looked at. Thought it was to the point and gave good, applicable examples. Plus, I really liked that they included further examples that we could look up on our own.
