socaljournalist Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Can anyone recommend resources for writing a CV, whether books or websites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a fragrant plant Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 (edited) I consult a few first year graduate students' CV when I wrote mine. I found them extremely helpful. Edited November 8, 2009 by peanuttheanthro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryLandis Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I posted a thread on this forum a week or two ago and got some pretty good advice, so you may want to look through that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, JerryLandis. I did a search for your username, but I don't think I saw the thread you mention. Do you remember any of the resources that were helpful to you? I have some pretty specific questions about how to arrange this thing, and I'd love to get my hands on a book filled with samples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peffy1962 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I have a quick question about CVs. For schools that require a hard copy, should the CV be printed on fancy resume paper, or is plain printer paper okay? I'm not sure what the norm is on that. Thanks!

rogue Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I have a quick question about CVs. For schools that require a hard copy, should the CV be printed on fancy resume paper, or is plain printer paper okay? I'm not sure what the norm is on that. Thanks! I was just about to ask this same question. I'm leaning toward printing mine on regular paper, just like all the other hard copy materials I have to submit.

fuzzylogician Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) Regular paper. I don't think anyone is expecting fancy paper - this is not a job interview - so save your money. Edited November 9, 2009 by fuzzylogician Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlee306 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I was informed by my professors to print the CV on fancy paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socaljournalist Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 I was informed by my professors to print the CV on fancy paper. I sent a packet of hard copy materials (mostly writing samples) today and used fancy paper for everything. Hope that wasn't overkill. It's just a high quality white paper.

fuzzylogician Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I think this is one of those insignificant thing applicants worry about but make absolutely no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
