Book Chapter Description

A curriculum vitae (CV) serves an important role for any job seeker, whether a medical student applying for a residency position, an academic physician moving up the promotion and tenure ladder, or a physician transitioning to a field outside of clinical medicine. A properly crafted CV enables the radiation oncologist to tell a compelling story about his or her career path and goals. This chapter provides details of crafting a compelling CV for academic medicine, lab-based research, private practice, and industry-based jobs. Additionally highlighted are other essential documents-the cover letter, resume, and biosketch-which allow the radiation oncologist to emphasize one's strengths, and convey to the reader that the candidate has the abilities to succeed at the requirements of the job to which one is applying.
