  2. Characteristics of CV as a “test” or evaluation tool • Reliability (reproducibility) - consistency of format and conventions across faculty and institutions. • Validity (is the content what you want to know about) – can infer prior achievement or future productivity • Feasibility (ease and efficiency of use) – information flow is clear and easy to review.

  3. Purposes of CV review • Formative for professional development: • feedback from me (next steps) • determine, anticipate support needed • Summative for admin actions: • Forward looking: predicting the future • Hiring • Tenure • Looking at the past: recognizing achievement • Recommend promotion to CAPT • Merit pay increases

  4. chair’s observations • Is there a “rhythm” (doing, planning, dreaming)? • patterns • Education; interruptions • Work is sustained and thematic • series of related activities vs. ad hoc • (abstracts, workshops, papers, grants) • record of achievement • involvement: within institution, in specialty, in scholarly community

  5. “Crazy makers” in CVs • Not knowing the reader and purpose of CV • resume vs CV; listing CME • unclear abbreviations • “Publications” • no numbering • “in preparation” • not chronologic (I prefer antegrade) • incomplete citations • mixing presentations; “published abstracts”

  6. criteria: what kind of faculty member is this ? • successful (roles, papers, grants, Level II) • reflective and self-correcting • responsive to environment and FB (from chair, colleagues, students, etc) • collaborative (esp. important at USU) • creative (not just following others)
