font-family:Sylfaen'>I did not mean to sound “uncollegial” or
grumpy in my posts regarding erroneous listing of degree titles on CVs—instead

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Sylfaen><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Sylfaen'>Having worked with CVs of colleagues from the College of
Music, from throughout the university, and from across the country during job
searches, pre-tenure reviews, tenure and promotion hearings, research grant
applications (internal and external to the university), teaching award
competitions, and many other places CVs represent the person and his/her work,
I know that any identifiable error on a CV is taken very seriously, and can be
costly—especially if there are many well-qualified applicants, where the
reviewer is looking for ways to eliminate candidates. If a question is
raised, and the CV content is checked and found to be inaccurate within the
person’s immediate department or college, the colleague would be advised
to correct the errors, and likely nothing else would transpire; if the CV is
from outside the college (in a job application or graduate school application),
or if the error is noted by persons outside the college (during review of a
grant application, by a tenure review letter writer outside the university, during
the university’s tenure and promotion proceedings, or other external to
the unit review), serious damage could be done to the candidate’s chances
for whatever is being applied for . . . anything that raises doubt in those
cases can be enough to have a person passed over. I don’t think
many younger people are aware of how many places their CV goes, and how it
represents them.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Sylfaen><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Sylfaen'>Of course, as a person has more experience and standing in
the field, it becomes less likely anyone would check something of this sort or
be concerned about it, because after a large body of work, the initial training
a person had is overshadowed by more recent accomplishments. For a recent
graduate, though, the degree and teaching experiences may be the most
substantial credentials the person has, and should be represented accurately,
clearly, and thoroughly enough for readers to get the complete picture of the
person’s preparation for whatever he/she is applying for.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
