Oh wise readers out there...
Oct. 27th, 2006 03:43 amSo, advice on assembling a CV.
No, this isn't the first time getting a CV together. What it is however, is submitting a generalised CV to register with a recruitment agency or two, which is somewhat less targetted than applications for scholarships or addressing specific selection criteria for a job.
So:
Verbose or consise (>2 pages, <=2pages)?
How detailed?
One assumes that having obtained a PhD, they are less worried about whether or not I finished high school. But do they need undergraduate details? Course history?
Include scholarship history?
Social club history? - does it help to mention Club Treasurer and Presidential roles?
Current lineup is under the following headings:
Citizenship
Current location and contact details
Education (2 degrees + learner driver licence)
Employment History
Astronomical Experience
Computing Experience
Communication Experience
Publications
Referees
What am I missing?
Edit: just registered (or at least expressed interest in registering on their online form) with Recruitco, since they didn't want a CV initially. But they will be wanting one later I suspect. And want stuff together for the other company...
Edit2: And of coure by posting now, I have missed a certain percentage of responses from Kiwis who have already escaped for the weekend.
