Title: Module 4: Professional Presence
Course: CJ601-01:Seminar in the Administration of Criminal Justice > Section: Professional Presence

Part of transitioning from a consumer to a producer of knowledge (e.g. an expert) is maintaining an professional presence. This includes many things, including updating your LinkedIn profile, to having professional-looking photos, to having your own website (or webpage hosted by an organization or university). Most importantly, on the academic side, is having a Curriculum Vitae (also called a CV).

The CV differs from the resume in many ways -- whereas the resume is usually 1-page and (in bullets) describes tasks you completed in various roles, the CV is a full (many-pages) accounting of all the academic stuff you've done, including classes, teaching, research, conferences, grants/scholarships/fellowships, and service.

In this module, you'll be developing your own academic CV. Specifically, you'll:

- Outline all of the academic things you've done until this point
- Review examples of good CVs
- Think about your professional presence online
