Key ideas:
"
a good CV is one that emphasizes the points that are considered to be most important in your discipline and conforms to standard conventions within your discipline."
"Gapping is the use of incomplete sentences in order to present your information as clearly and concisely as possibly. For example, instead of writing, "I taught composition for four years, during which time I planned classes and activities, graded papers, and constructed exams. I also met with students regularly for conferences," you might write, "Composition Instructor (2000-2004). Planned course activities. Graded all assignments. Held regular conferences with students.""By using incomplete sentences here, you cut out unnecessary words and allow your reader to see quickly what you have been doing.
"Parallelism is also very important to a strong CV Generally, you will want to keep the structure of your phrases and/or sentences consistent throughout your document. "
"Remember that the principles guiding any decision you make should be conciseness and ease of readability."
