CV writing
<p>Develop your skills in writing tailored academic CVs to ensure you put your best foot forward</p>
A curriculum vitae (CV) is an essential document for your career, having the power to open doors, win you funding, or secure you an academic position. Academic CVs have their own conventions and strategic approaches to presenting your achievements most effectively. Learn how to write an academic CV that will put your skills and expertise above the rest.
Most applications for new jobs will require your curriculum vitae (CV). Submissions for some prizes, awards, grants, and fellowships may also require it. Even where it is not required, you will need to draw upon it to provide information about salient aspects of your track record.
In addition to your CV, or very often instead of it, many applications for jobs, promotions, prizes, awards, fellowships and grants will ask for specific information about your expertise and experience – often referred to as your track record. This targeted approach, usually provided in a more narrative form, is designed to elicit only that information of relevance to the assessment or selection criteria.
