Title: Re: vita for undergraduates
Hi folks:
 
I'm having a problem that is stumping me.  A couple of my undergraduate students are applying to graduate schools this year and are trying to put together a vita for the applications.  I'm having a hard time remembering exactly what I included on my undergraduate vita.  I'm assuming the basics:
 
Name and address
 
Educational information (Major, GPA, graduation date)
 
Work experiences (does this include sales, waiting, and other non-psychology jobs or just those that are relevant for graduate school?)
 
Volunteer experiences
 
Research experiences (including presentations and publications but also final research projects for Methods courses, etc.?)
 
What kinds of information do you advice your students put on their vitas?  Does anyone have any sample templates for undergraduate vitas that they are willing to share? 
 
On behalf of my students, thanks!
 
Rod

Hi Rod -

APS's Observer put out an excellent article on putting together a vita written explicitly for students. Unfortunately, my copy is at home and a quick check on the APS site shows that the article isn't available from the website.

But maybe another TIPSter has the article and can forward it to Rod? It is:

For students: Writing your vita (1989). APS Observer Vol. 2 #3. (No author was listed on the website.)

In the meantime I'll check at home and see if I can't take my hardcopy and scan directly to a pdf file for you.

Good luck!


Kirsten
