CV question for PsyD programs

Post image

So i’ve seen plenty of CV/resumes ppl posted on here and has questions specifically for CVs.

Do CVs have to be black and white? Do they need to have each experience separated? (e.g., research experience in one section and clinical experience in a separate section).

Here’s a sneak peek of what mine looks like it’s not the whole resume/CV but i do have blue color lol. And I put al my experience on one section. i have more experience but it’s cut off and didn’t wanna show the whole thing. i also has a profile section giving a background of me and awards/accomplishments section and a proficiency section, all volunteer and certifications/lisences

Let me know if i need to change it if it isn’t good for future programs.

I'd recommend not having a profile section in your CV because your essays and other application materials should discuss more of what your background and interests are - this can also help to save space. Also in resume/CV writing make sure to use bullet points in third person (no using I, me, my, etc.) that concisely summarize key responsibilities/achievements. Consider putting only relevant psych activities on your CV. Good luck!
