ACCP’s innovative Online Curriculum Vitae Review Service is accepting submissions. This program, now in its third year, is an exclusive service offered to student members as a means to facilitate their curriculum vitae (CV) preparation.

As the clinical pharmacy profession continues to see an increase in demand for residency positions and competition for first-rate jobs, it is vital that students have a well-written CV. An effective CV can provide a positive image for future selection committees or employers, and it distinguishes an individual from the rest of the crowd. As questions arise in preparing and completing a CV, wouldn’t it be helpful to have a seasoned professional review it?

Now through April 2, 2010, student members may submit their CV online as a Microsoft Word document and have the document randomly assigned to a volunteer ACCP member reviewer. The ACCP reviewer will provide his/her comments and suggested edits using the track changes feature in Microsoft Word. Students will receive an e-mail containing feedback from the reviewer within 14 business days.

When preparing a CV for review, be sure to take advantage of ACCP’s other Web-based resources. Learn the basics of CV formatting, view sample student CVs, and access valuable “curriculum vitae pearls,” which provide practical insights in developing a CV. These services and other resources are accessible from the student section of the ACCP Web site at http://www.accp.com/stunet/index.aspx.
