Inspire the Perfect Curriculum Vitae

The range of variation that the curriculum vitae permits is truly astounding. And, in our line of work, it’s common to find 70-90 page CVs for our established investigators.  Common formatting dictates a 1″ margin on all sides with a legible and standardized font. However, when it comes to section headings–there is room for personalization. Sometimes, a little too much room.

No one knows what the perfect combination of headings and sub-headings is for your personal CV–it’s your life, your work, and you should organize it in whatever way displays your best achievements.
