Academic CV

Q: How do I know the Academic CV output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Every publication uses the same citation style; Unpublished work is labelled as under review or in preparation; Grants show the person's role (principal investigator, co-investigator, named researcher); Section order fits the field and post.

🗣 Say this to your agent

“Update my academic CV for a lectureship application in the UK.”“Format my publications list properly.”“I'm applying for a postdoc. Help me order my CV.”“Turn my academic CV into a two-page version for an industry research role.”

What to give it

▸The post — lectureship or assistant professor, postdoc, research fellow, industry research, and the institution's country

▸The field — , because conventions differ (author order, conference versus journal weight)

▸The record — publications, grants, teaching, supervision, talks, service, awards

▸The citation style — the field uses, or permission to choose the common one

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Every publication uses the same citation style

✓Unpublished work is labelled as under review or in preparation

✓Grants show the person's role (principal investigator, co-investigator, named researcher)

✓Section order fits the field and post

✓Nothing is listed that the person did not provide

⚠️ What it refuses to do

**Mixing citation styles.** Committees notice and read it as carelessness.

**Inflating status.** A submitted paper is not "forthcoming".

**Hiding teaching** for a teaching-heavy post, or hiding research for a research post.

**Using the full CV for industry.** Industry research roles want the short version.
