Preparing a Curriculum Vitae (CV)
Most employers will want to see a copy of your complete CV before granting an interview and you will be required to submit a CV with your official application.
How to write a CV
Curriculum vitae (CV) is an organized listing of one’s achievements and experiences in the areas of education, professional experience, organizational membership, presentations and publications, honors and awards, and community service.
A well-composed CV is easy to read and contains information about your strongest attributes and experiences. Remember that a CV is a living document and that dates are very important. Start with the most recent information and work backward. For students, the following sections should be included:
- Education
- Work Experience
- Clerkship Rotations
- Presentations and Publications
- Honors and Awards
- Membership in Organizations (include offices held)
- Professional and Community Service
- Other Special Experiences or Skills
