What should a psychologist's CV look like?

For example, "State licensed expert in clinical psychology with eight years of experience. Dedicated to serving patients in a meaningful way, listening to their concerns, and helping them learn how to approach their mental, emotional, and behavioral problems."

Next, provide information on your educational credentials. Be sure to include information such as Year of completion or expected completion (no starting dates), degree type, major and minors (if applicable), department and institution, honors and awards, dissertation/thesis title, and advisor.

If you have any relevant professional experience relevant to the position, include them in a section titled 'Professional Appointments.'

When listing your employment history, only include contracted positions such as Postdoctoral, instructorships, adjunct, and tenure track positions. Include Teaching Assistant (TA) and one-off course adjunct positions in the "Teaching" section, not here.

After that, you'll want to include any publications you may have. Divide your peer-reviewed publications into further subcategories in the following order: Books, Peer-reviewed journal articles, contributions to edited volumes equivalent to peer-reviewed journals. If you don't have any publications, you can skip this section.

The next sections to follow should include - Awards and Honors, Grants and Fellowships, and Conferences. In these sections, start by listing your latest award or honor, and continue in reverse chronological order, listing the name of the achievement, the year you received it, and the institution which granted it.

In the conference section, include a separate listing for any talks or panels you may have served on and another for any posters you presented.

If you have teaching experience, include separate groupings that list the courses taught and list what those courses were.

Finally, list your skills, any additional languages you teach in, and finish by listing at least three professional references and their contact information and title.
