The Personal Statement season wound down. I am offering a significant discount on Curriculum Vitae.
Generally speaking, the CV is a rather black-and-white document containing just factual information (unlike its cousin, the resume, which accommodates more detail elaboration). Thus, the majority of time engineering a CV is spent in properly formatting and presenting the information. A greater impression is made upon the recipient (of the CV) when activities properly are presented (Education, Professional Experience, Publications, etc.) and in chronological order. Additionally, presenting the information in a manner that reconciles with your objectives (professional or academic) is important.
The CV is a static document that can serve one for many, many years, unlike its cousin, the resume, which periodically should be revised specific to an opportunity (professional or academic). Thus, when changing jobs or a program, or when participating or completing professional or academic events, the CV can be updated to reflect those new pursuits or accomplishments. I have had clients contact me months and years later for an update to their CV. Usually, because this process is less time consuming, I provide the update(s) fee of charge (provided they're not terribly time consuming).
You are welcome to contact me regarding your new CV. I will review and assess it, perhaps even inquiring if there is information missing, so that I may render my opinion including how your CV could be improved upon.
Thank you.
