    PhD students: Is your CV online? Why?


    User: Nesrine87 - 06 October 2016 12:46

    Hey everyone,

    I'm debating whether to put my CV on academia.edu. I haven't been able to find any online discussions/articles talking about the pros/cons of doing this.

    I'd like to know your thoughts as I've been pretty poor at coming up with my own reasons for and against! I guess the main reason I want to is that there's stuff on my CV that I can't 'upload' to my profile (I find academia.edu very limited). BUT I'm constantly thinking that my CV isn't impressive enough and maybe it won't reflect well on me...

    Whether you've decided to upload your CV or not, I'd be very interested to hear your reasoning/experience.

    Thanks :)

    Mine isn't online, but then I am not a very 'online' person as far as my personal information goes, and like you I have reservations about posting things at an early stage. It would be interesting to hear the experiences of people who have put theirs online, though!

    Hmm, it seems not many people have put their CVs online!

    My CV isn't exactly online, but I've put a bit of information plus my publications on researchgate. I think some sort of online presence is important when looking for academic jobs,
