  1. This might be a silly question - but I have a handful of posters and only one publication (I'm still in undergrad, putting together a CV for jobs!). Would it be better to put everything together in one section titled "Posters & Publications"? Or have the "Posters" in one section, and then "Publications" in another? I usually see separate "Posters & Presentations" and "Publications" categories on grown-up CVS but since I only have one pub, I don't know if it looks silly on the CV to put it in a separate section all by itself. On the other hand, if I put them together under one section, I feel like it might come off as if I'm trying to mislead people into thinking I have a bunch of publications, when there's only one in there amongst the posters. Thanks for all the help!
  2. Thank you so much for your reply! I was under the impression that not listing your GPA was "taboo" and would make people think I had a <3.0 I was trying to hide It's good to hear a success story of a CV sans the GPA! I feel weird putting on JUST my junior/senior GPA (even if it makes the unofficial 3.5+ cutoff), so I'll probably just continue without any GPAs at all.
  3. I'm have a bit of a dilemma. I have a very strong CV, including 2+ years research experience & posters, but my GPA is very low (3.25, at a respected school). I don't think this reflects my abilities at all...I never really recovered from freshman and sophmore year grades. My junior/senior gpa is 3.5, which I think is decent at my school. I work really hard in the labs I've been in, and will have great/enthusiastic references if any potential employer calls them. I think I would have a shot at these jobs if anyone read the rest of my CV, but my fear is that I'll be thrown out by HR/whoever's filtering applications purely because of that GPA at the top! :/ Should I leave it off, and be prepared to have an eloquent answer when they ask me during interviews? Or leave it on, and know that at least anyone asking me for an interview is doing so despite of my GPA? Would this be a huge red flag? I know for other types of jobs (in business, non-profits, etc), leaving the GPA off can be okay, but I'm worried it'll count against me since research assistantships are more academic. I really need advice! I would never be dishonest about my GPA, I just want to secure the best chance of having my CV considered. Thank you in advance for any help!
