After spending ~ 4 hours on reviewing ~50 application materials today, I
came to the conclusion that there are some “tricks” you should try to make
the reviewer’s life easier, and hopefully help your profile stand out.
Keep in mind that, in average, each application would be scanned within 5
min or less (it sounds REALLY bad, I know; you have spent hours in preparing
them). But each member of the search committee would most likely have to
review 100+ applications (and NO ONE really loves reading these documents!),
and the first cursory review would most likely filter 100+ application down
to 20 or less. If you believe you are WORTHY and should be in the short
list of 20 applications, please read on.
First, cover Letter is important. A great opportunity to quickly grab the
committee’s attention. Use hold and underline to highlight your research
accomplishments, and what the focus of your future research is.
Second, CV is crucial.
• Please separate first author, from other publications; number
them
• Most recent papers first
• High profile papers first
• Anything worth noting (Award, etc.), using bold or underline (or
different color).
The bottom line: NO ONE WANTS TO READ THE ENTIRE TEXT HEAVY documents! Your
goal is to help them quickly find what they are looking for.
