Step Seven:
Writing Your C.V.
Everyone must have a c.v. (curriculum vitae), which lists achievements, education, and other qualifications. The question is, what should you put on your c.v.?
Assume that the person reading your c.v. does not know you, and has not attended the same conferences, nor met you in the restroom. You need to be memorable and impressive. Of course, only the people who were actually at a certain conference can tell in what way you participated.
What you need, then, are several versions of your c.v., each of which will contain different information, depending on the following:
1. Whether the person you send it to knows you, or knows Big Shots in the organizations and societies whose conferences you claim to have addressed.
2. How many plausible-sounding journals and conferences you can think of. (GOOD EXAMPLE: Journal of the Method of the History of Methodological Studies; BAD EXAMPLE: Playphilosopher)
3. Nothing else.
It may sound as if this step advocates that you dissimulate. Not at all. We intend, rather, that you outright lie. Be creative.
