I think anything that makes you look more knowledgable and trained in the field is a good idea. And I know you didn't ask me this, but yes-I have different sections, then I organize chronologically there. And good call on those references. A good one is invaluable :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/resume-vs-cv#post-1533473 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 06:16:25 +0000 Silva 1533473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I have presented a bit, and attended 40 hours worth of trainings a year at my last job- maybe I"ll include the highlights of the trainings. Many of them (for example, ethics, which we have to take regularly) would probably just be unnecessary to tell them about, I assume. I can also go into more detail about my undergrad/grad school thesis papers.<br /> Maybe I will include my references in a separate document. I have some recognizable references in the field, and they sort of follow me around and help me get jobs (I have no shame about this :))</p> <p>@blackbird: so you have a section for presentations, a section for conferences/trainings, etc. and then organize by date within those sections?</p> <p>@shellio: That's helpful- maybe I'll just write a brief letter stating my interest. The job is sort of always open- they are just looking to fill private practice spots within the group- but I can specify my interest in working in their satellite women's group with a cover letter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/resume-vs-cv#post-1533260 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 21:40:50 +0000 shellio 1533260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a physician in academia and also use a CV instead of a resume. I don't have any resources off the top of my head but good luck! I would also suggest (but take this with a grain of salt, best to confirm with someone in your field or who is familiar with the organization you're applying to) that even though a cover letter hasn't been requested, you could include one. They can throw it out if they want to, just keep it short. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/resume-vs-cv#post-1533221 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 21:18:04 +0000 blackbird 1533221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep a CV around and it includes sooooo many details. Namely, for me, the conferences I have attended, any papers I publish within the company, etc. It's just very detailed. I've never had to use it, but I do like to keep a running, in depth list of what I do every year </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/resume-vs-cv#post-1533186 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 21:04:23 +0000 LovelyPlum 1533186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm...I'm in academia, so I'm used to CVs. My understanding is that a CV can be more than one page and lets you detail your experiences more than a resume would. Mine has a list of papers I've presented at conferences, for example, as well as titles of my MA thesis, undergraduate capstone, and the like. Do you have any projects and/or conferences you can put on there, even if you just attended them?</p> <p>FWIW, my CV currently doesn't have my references on it.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/resume-vs-cv#post-1533143 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 20:43:29 +0000 Silva 1533143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am working on getting my resume up to date and flushing it out a bit as I prepare to start a job search in a few months.</p> <p>The group practice (I'm a clinical social worker) I am most interested in joining requests a CV....<br /> I did some quick reading on the differences, but wondered if anyone had any particularly useful guides or suggestions for crafting an excellent CV.</p> <p>For some reason I thought they were primarily used in academia, but thats what this job is looking for. Do I include references within the document (a site I found said to)?<br /> Also, this practice doesn't request a cover letter- which freaks me out a bit....if you can't tell I'm better with the narrative than bullet points :) </p>
