GRAD700: CVs in Digital Humanities

Education

Education takes a priority in most CVs. People generally want to know what schooling you’ve had and from where. This is true across nearly all disciplines.

Projects

Commonly found in careers and professions that cross with programming or more product-based work, CVs in digital humanities and related fields often want an emphasis early in the document on what the person has worked on and where it can be found online. Most people link out to their sites or to where the code can be found. BitBucket and GitHub links go here, for example.

Professional Experience

Depending on the position or nature of the job applied for, this section might be before Projects. If the person has worked as a professor of record or has other teaching experience, it would go here. The same for titles held.

Publications & Presentations

Usually later in the document, this section is the ubiquitous one where the person lists out where they have been published or spoken. Depending on other factors, this section can be subdivided into areas that make sense logically to do so. For example, if paper publishing is more important, that section can be broken out. The same with presentations or public white papers for more commercials jobs.
