Posting a CV Online - Amy Rubens, Inside Higher Ed

There can be no right answers to these questions; certainly, posting one’s CV online has drawbacks and benefits, and there many ways that the CV—or at least some of the credentials one might include in it—can be displayed online. In service to this complexity, I’d like to explore some reasons why a graduate student, in particular, might publish his or her CV online, or alternatively, keep it “private.” Then, I list some options for publishing the CV (either in full or in part) online. I gleaned some of this material from twitter exchanges with graduate students and professors. (Can I say how great twitter is for professionalizing, networking, and learning? Oh wait, I have.) As always, I’m interested in hearing from others—graduate students, their advisors, etc.—about the digital CV and its wider implications for graduate students.
