If you’re applying for faculty positions, your CV isn’t optional — it’s expected. But the way strong academic CVs are written has changed dramatically.

At Faculty Job Tools, our CVs are completely different from anything Dr. Dani Babb has written before. This new process is shaped by years of experience and real-time input from hiring deans, program directors, and academic hiring managers. We’ve studied what works (and what doesn’t) in today’s automated systems and selection committees — and we’ve evolved every step of our method to match it.

Your CV will be:

• Rich with the right keywords to pass applicant tracking systems and auto-screening filters.
• Concise, current, and aligned with how committees review applications today.
• Professionally formatted without unnecessary graphics or design elements that risk bias concerns.
• Structured to highlight your teaching impact, subject expertise, and commitment to student success — even if you’re new to higher education.

Each CV is written collaboratively through an iterative process between you and our team, with direct involvement from Dr. Babb, author of the first two Make Money Teaching Online books — the original guides to breaking into higher education teaching. We also include a carefully written teaching philosophy statement that can stand alone for uploads or be integrated into your CV.

There’s no one-size-fits-all academic CV anymore. Ours are built from real-world research, feedback from hiring leaders, and decades of proven results — helping faculty present themselves authentically, professionally, and powerfully in today’s higher education marketplace.
