deparkison Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 So, I feel that my CV is a little skimpy, since I don't have many publications to my name. I was wondering, would it be valuable to add a Blog project I'm working on, that correlates directly to the work I want to do, to my CV? Or is that non-professional enough that it shouldn't be considered? Thoughts? Recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunkyDory Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I'm including a blog project I've been working on as a self-published thing. It's probably not worth it if it's just a general blog, but the internet is a publishing platform and if you're using that for a serious academic project, then go for it.

cquin Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Are you working on your blog under the guidance of a professor or advisor? I did a somewhat non-traditional project my final semester of undergrad (short paper combined with online blog/website elements) and I'm including it on my CV because it was done within an academic setting.

runonsentence Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I've kept several research blogs over the past few years, and I documented them on my CV. My general research blog I listed under "Projects." Another I kept pertained to a specific area of research in which I had other projects to list ("Assessment Studies"), and so there it went.

deparkison Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 This is all good advice, thanks folks. My main focus is creative writing/poetry, and the blog is a videoblog organized between myself and some other poets. We have a sort of "roundtable" style discussion, where we each chime in on a predetermined subject having to do with poetry ("What's up with speculative poetry?" Or, "What is/was Modernism?" etc). I don't know if that makes anyone come more firmly down on the side of it's inclusion, but... there it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perrykm2 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I dunno. However, if you include your blog, make sure your Internet life is squeaky clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yank in the M20 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I have another question on the whole CV topic. Some of the universities I'm looking at mention work experience. For anyone who's had some time out between their BA and/or MA and PhD, should we be including a work history even if completely related to academia?

lolopixie Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 should we be including a work history even if completely related to academia? related to academia? i would say yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
