Early career psychologist- CV questions
I was recently licensed as a clinical psychologist and have continued working at my Post Doc site in private practice. I’m wondering what to add and take off my CV because I’m interested in potentially returning to the VA or hospital setting. I’m unclear as to what is relevant to a grad school CV versus now.
would greatly appreciate any help I can get! these questions seem silly to ask.
Do you just list your licensing number under your name? What licensing info needs to be included? like state board exam date or anything about my EPPP date and score?
It feels weird that I have all my GPAs listed first (including undergrad honors) but not these recent exams.?
My research is not strong (I’m a PsyD) so those details are towards the back of my CV- (I don’t have additional pubs). But I had really great practicums and work experience, a lot of assessment. To showcase that I was advised to list every measurement and evidence based therapy I used under each individual site. this seems extremely redundant and my CV is currently 11 pages long?
Is it normal to list it like that?
On the other hand, I’ve thought about making a resume instead since I have such a strong work background. But I’ve seen advice to make bullet points like “decreased client anxiety by 75%” “increased note taking efficiency by 25%”
I know I’m a good therapist but I don’t have stats like that lying around. Yeah I’ve used some GAD and PHQ9 screeners in therapy but to condense it to statements like that would be a huge estimate. Is that what we’re supposed to do? 😅
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
