Academic CV writing

An academic CV obeys rules a commercial resume would break on every line. There is no page limit, nothing is omitted, everything is dated, and the publication list is the document — not an appendix to it. A search committee reads the publications first, the funding second, and the teaching record only once both have passed. Getting the order wrong is read as not knowing the field.

Academic CV writing — how we produce it

Built to the conventions of your discipline

Academic commissions usually also take the research statement, teaching statement and cover letter, since most faculty applications require all four and they must agree with one another.

The academic application package

• Full academic CV, formatted to your discipline’s convention
• Publication list with authorship position and metrics where appropriate
• A two-page research statement for the position applied to
• A teaching statement and, where required, a diversity statement
• Application cover letter written to the specific department
• A short-form CV for grant applications with strict page limits

Ten to fifteen working days for the full package, two revision rounds. Reference formatting is checked against the target style guide line by line.

Frequently asked

Before you commission

Published prices, and the LinkedIn profile is free

Most resume services will not quote until you have sent your document and had a conversation. Content Factory publishes the range: ₹2,500 to ₹10,000, decided by your profession and the seniority of the role you are applying for — a graduate resume sits at the bottom of that range and a chief executive package at the top. The figure is fixed in writing before any work starts.

The LinkedIn profile rewrite is included at no charge with every resume. Most services charge separately for it, which makes no sense — a recruiter reads the resume and the profile within minutes of each other, and any disagreement between the two counts against you. Content Factory writes both from one agreed position so they never contradict.

Where exactly you fall in the range depends on your profession and the level you are targeting, not on how long the document is. Send the resume you have now and you will have the figure the same working day — and if it needs nothing, we will tell you that instead.
