CV Update: PGY1 to the Real World

[drugdoc]

Does anyone have any good online sources that they know of for updating my CV? I'm in the middle of my PGY1 and plan to go into hospital pharmacy when finished with my residency.

I have googled it, but didn't find really anything specific.

In advance, thanks!

ACCP has sample CVs and a CV review service on their website... http://www.accp.com/stunet/cv.aspx

Some universities also have CV templates/examples available online. A lot of them are tailored to students rather than residents, but you can still get ideas for job descriptions or formatting from them...

What specifically do you have questions about? My CV has my residency listed plus a few of the general duties, similar to any other job in my history. Then I listed any major presentation, posters or papers in the relevant sections.

I highly recommend keeping a portfolio if you aren't already and updating your CV on a continuous basis every time you do something CV-worthy, add it in right away. Makes it so much easier vs trying to think back over a year. Same with when you're out working. Keep a running list of the special activities you're doing or awards you received. Even though I'm not job hunting, I keep my CV updated at least every 6 months.

Do you keep a hardcopy portfolio or an electronic one? Do you just save every poster, ppt, etc, you've done?

Electronic.
