writing a resume for application

[MikaLi]

hi guys,
I’m working on my PhD application, and wonder weather my resume should include selected papers and seminars from both my bachelor’s and master’s studies. I think it will perfectly reflect my research interests and experience. but I’m not sure if it’s acceptable…?

 

Thanks!

oooppss... sorry, I meant whether not weather...

You should look into what a curriculum vita looks like, as this is what you'll most likely use as a graduate student. On a CV, you can list your publications and conferences. You should include them in your CV for applications, as well.

I agree that a cv is probably a better fit for your applications.  You can search the web for cv's of people in your field to get ideas for layout and content.  The schools you intend to apply to may post the cv's of the professors and grad students in your field and those would also help you.  If you're still in school the career center or your adviser might be able to assist you as well.

CAA's career building pages also have CV layouts broken down into different fields of the arts, so for academics, museum professionals, artists, etc, with recommendations on how to tailor it to your experience levels.

This is not so relevant to the subject, but, for future reference, it is spelled résumé. I say this, because I see it spelled wrong nearly every day, and I think it could become of significance--if spelled properly-- in an application as it stands out.

There's actually no consensus on this, except that resumé is technically incorrect and resume is the preferred American spelling. After a few minutes of googling, the general sense on job hunt websites is that résumé is fussy and pretentious, and a sign of "fastidious overcorrectness." I would say the safest bet is to spell it however the school you're applying for is spelling it.

In any case, a resume (or résumé) is invariably called a CV in academia, so not worth worrying too much about it here
