Question about CV (old content)

Members don't see this ad.

Anyway, I am updating my CV and noticed that some of the older stuff might be kinda "outdated" though I would still want to include them because those were significant experiences
For instance, I worked at the ____ between 2006 and 2007 (not saying it here because if I say it, some people might know who I am, since ____ is well-known and not too many med students have worked for it before) before I started med school back in 2008. Well, problem is... the group that I worked for is no longer functioning and the person in charge of the program and conferences no longer work there.

Should I still include that in my CV? Should I get in touch with that person and put her contact info in my CV?


You know what I'm saying? Let's say you worked for a prof for 4 years back in College and you have that in your CV. However, the prof no longer works there. If the PD were to call the department and they tell him, "oh, we don't have that person here" That would be ****ed up.

Your CV is essentially a history of professional-you. Keep those experiences in there! IF you feel its necessary to do so, just add a note explaining that such and such a lab is no longer functioning.

On the topic of CVs (sorry I don't mean to hijack this thread), but do you know of any reputable resources for CV critiquing? I gave mine to the dean here who does all this stuff, but she made only 1 or 2 changes and I really think more can be done.
