A 7 page CV for someone applying to grad programs?

That's a tad excessive. I would cut the length by 30-50%.

Yup. Shorten the bulleted descriptions.

Also...you've just listed really personal contact info for yourself and your refs online.

It has always been my understanding that you should never use bullet points in a CV (those are for resumes). You also may want to look at sample CVs online to see how to word headings and organize things. Your presentations should be brought up higher and experiences lower.

Definitely agree. Remove this information ASAP!

Get this off the internet immediately. Not only is this dangerous in many ways, it suggests there is a lack of insight and decision-making ability (with pretty compelling evidence)! Ahhh

Yup. Loud and clear.
Clearly I am inexperienced and I am looking for help so there is no need to be judgemental or nasty FionaGoode.

I appreciate the concern everyone else has expressed and the sensitivity.
Removing asap.

I apologize if you interpreted this to be judgemental or nasty, especially given that it was not my intent. I was mostly concerned for your personal (you put your personal address, name, and phone number on the internet, which is a sink able to ANYONE interested in psych--- patients and professionals,alike) and professional well-being. I don't believe that explaining the reasoning for why this is a bad idea to an inexperienced individual (which you very clearly state you are) is nasty. If I had made a similar error (and clearly wasn't aware of the professional implications), i would want to know so I could grow. Perhaps another good lesson: you need thick skin to get through graduate school. Being easily offended from solicited or unsolicited feedback (even on the internet) is something that won't be tolerated in grad school. Either way, sorry if you were offended, and good luck. I know you are new here, so please also be aware that many of us (including myself) on here do have (sometime major) involvement in various aspects of training and recruitment at the graduate school, internship, post doc, and even job levels. This is another major reason to be careful about whom you share your name with, especially if you proceed to label people as "nasty."
