application form question

Members don't see this ad.

One of my supplemental application forms is a word document with previous work and educational experience, address, etc. One of the fields is, "PUBLICATIONS, HONORS, PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIPS, HONORARY SOCIETIES, VOLUNTEER WORK, AND RELEVANT WORK EXPERIENCE." Then they give you two lines to fill that out in. It's not enough room even if I type in 8-pt. font. Is it unreasonable to just put "see attached CV?" Is that annoying?

If it's a word document, you should also be able to adjust the size of the field. I did that on a few of them. Depending on how it was phrased, there were a few times when I said see attached CV.

It is a Word document, but it's very nicely crammed onto two pages. If I make the field any bigger, it'll bump some of it on to a third page.

so it goes onto 3 pages.....does it say anywhere on the form not to change the field sizes? if not, just run on to the 3rd page and staple it all.

i always say "please see CV" if you have a great CV they'll see you are just too tremendous to be contained in 3 little lines!

I agree with the last post - It's better that you represent yourself accordingly than to worry about the page length. I also would say see vitae

Actually, you mean "see vita." It's either a curriculum vitae or a vita, not a vitae. I would think "see CV" is perfectly fine though.
