FINAL NOTES ON THE ACADEMIC CV

1. The academic CV has no place for your High school and elementary school.

2. Take off colours and graphics from the Academic CV. It is not supposed to be an artistic presentation.

3. Your age, date of birth, gender, health, religion, number of children, traditional titles, hobbies has no place in the academic CV. Take it off NOW.

4. Adding a heading that summarizes your desired position, your experience, your abilities and skills is a great way to present yourself competitively on the CV. See the attached sample.

5. The Education part of the CV must show the title of degree you hold, the year of award, the institution that awarded it, your CGPA, the terminal work you did there (project, thesis) and your supervisor.

6. Referees 'Available on request' is not an academic CV style. Add your references to your academic CV. State the relationship you have with them and their official email.

7. The header of the Academic CV is not 'Curriculum vitae' but your name boldly written beginning from your first name not SURNAME.

8. Enter your experiences in past action verbs.
- I conducted XYZ
- I researched into abc
- Taught pqr subjects

9. If you have publications, you are only to list the publications that relate to the position you are applying to. The standard is to list just two or three.

10. If you are pursuing a GRA/GTA position, your experience and skills components of the CV should be very loud.

For Experience, break into;
- Research Experience
- Teaching Experience
- Professional Experience

The skills components must have computational, statistical, discipline bias and writing skills.

Use this sample to draft your strong academic CV.

You should schedule your day, your daily rituals, and your tasks around when your willpower is highest and when it's lowest.

Lesson 6. Daily rituals are powerful

Daily rituals provide structure to your daily life that can help maximize your creativity and focus.

Lesson 7. Multitasking is a myth

You cant focus on more than one thing at a time, all you're doing is rapidly switching your focus and attention.

1. Life’s too short to spend time on opportunities that are no longer worthwhile.

4. Contrary to popular belief, quitting will get you where you want to go faster.
5. Don’t wait to be forced to quit to start exploring alternatives.
6. Success does not lie in sticking to things. It lies in picking the right thing to stick to and quitting the rest.
7. If it’s worthwhile, stick with it. Don’t quit.

Top 6 Lessons learned From the Book--"Maybe You Should Talk To Someone"

1. The only way to truly hear yourself is in silence

🔸Talking can keep people in their heads and away from their emotions. Being silent is like emptying the trash.

🌟When you stop tossing junk into the void—words, words, and more words—something important rises to the surface.

2. Most big transformations come about from the hundreds of tiny, almost imperceptible, steps we take along the way. (Remember the Atomic Habit)

3. We keep stepping in the same puddle

👉People want to be understood and to understand, but for most of us, our biggest problem is that we don’t know what our problem is.

4. Part of getting to know yourself is to unknow yourself

⏪You need to let go of the limiting stories you've told yourself about who you are, so you don't get trapped by them, so you can live your life and not the story you tell yourself about it.

5. If you go through life picking and choosing, if you don’t realize that “the perfect is the enemy of the good,” you may deprive yourself of joy.

6. At some point, being a fulfilled adult means taking responsibility for the course of your own life and accepting the fact that you’re in charge of your choices.
