Here's how to write an AWESOME CV for your PhD applications in 16 steps📚👇🏛️
1/ CV stands for “Curriculum Vitae” which means the course of your life.
In your CV, you can include information on
-educational qualifications
-research interests
-research experiences
-conferences/workshops
-honours & grants
-professional and extra-curricular experience.
2/ A CV is a longer document than a resumè because a resumè is a very specific summary of your skills and experiences that are relevant to the job you’re applying for.
Standard CV length is 2-2.5 pages (but it may vary based on your academic history).
3/ Since you’re applying for a PhD or research position, make sure to introduce your academic accomplishments first and professional/extracurricular exp later.
You want to make sure that by the end of a minute, the committee should have already paid attention to aspects of your CV that are extremely important for a research job.
As they will be in a hurry, it’s best to put less relevant experiences towards the end.
4/ Write your experiences in reverse chronological order-meaning from most recent to last (see my CV above!)
5/ Have a blog/website that shows your potential? Add it at the top of the CV below contact information.
6/ To give clarity, you can divide your research exp into undergrad and Masters training sections (in case you’ve done a Master’s)
7/ Don’t mention anything in your CV that you can’t prove (through certificates/letters of recommendation or any other official document).
8/ Always make it easy to read your CV by using black/white format.
Don’t add too many colors as they take away the focus from the actual content of the CV.
I would highly recommend using LaTeX software. It gives a very professional appearance to your work and shows your dedication towards the intended position.
10/ A quick tip: Use the 20-second rule to test your CV.
Give your CV to your friends, family members etc. and ask them to tell you what they remembered the most from your CV after 20 secs.
If they are able to tell you your key, strong points, well done. If not, you’ll need to redesign your CV to make it memorable in a very short span of time.
11/ You can use bold, iltalics, & underline to draw attention (but be consistent with their use in every section).
12/ But don't overdo it!!!
13/ This will help them spot if a page from your CV is missing! Don’t forget to add these numbers ever!
14/ Add observational skills in addition to technical skills.
For e.g., write about what you learnt from a counselling session or an experimental technique through mere observation.
15/ Have papers that are under review or papers that you’re still writing?
Add them under sections “Manuscripts under review”, “Manuscripts in preparation”.
16/ Create ORCID ID
