A CV Template Specific to the Academic Job Search

The Curriculum Vitae, or CV, is the story of your academic and professional life. A feature of the academic job search, the CV is a more comprehensive, longer, and more detailed record of experiences, accomplishments, and credentials.

The Babb Group’s excellent editable CV format in MS word is an easy-to-use, easy-to-edit framework available in Microsoft Word. The template includes the sections that they recommend, with subheads. They update the template on a regular basis to ensure it is current with the latest best practices as they learn more about what is working in job searches.

This MS Word curriculum vitae template gives job seekers the structure and organizational framework they need to describe their lives, work, and experiences in order to tell a cohesive story about a person, a scholar, and an instructor in one document. The template helps you manage the flow of information and to contain concurrent experiences within the different sections. The template acts as a content guide to help you stay on task and on point as you write your own CV.
