My current principal investigator has a 40-odd page CV. They’ve been doing research since the mid-70s: hundreds of invited talks, papers, posters, book chapters, awards, etc. take up a lot of space.
- adenadel 7y agoThis highlights the difference between a resume and a CV.
- hprotagonist 7y agoyes. They don’t have a resume at all in fact.
- chrisseaton 7y agoRight, but in the UK, for example, we don't do resumes, only CVs.
- mruts 7y agoAre you saying that everyone in the UK is an academic?
- chrisseaton 7y ago> Are you saying that everyone in the UK is an academic? Does it honestly seem likely to you that that's what I'm saying? No. I'm saying people in the UK don't write resumes. They write CVs. Whether they're an academic or not. And they're generally a couple of pages at the very least. I get that's different to how it is where you are - but it's normal for things to be different in different places around the world.
- distant_hat 7y agoThe funny part is during hiring etc people pore over CVs like this too. I was in academia for a few years and invited talks etc pile up rapidly, and are pretty repetitive anyway. I stopped reporting most invited talks and just had a section on selected invited talks.
