Qué es un CV narrativo. 10 recomendaciones para su redacción eficiente

Resumen

Many research organizations around the world are adopting an evaluation model that moves away from traditional CVs and is based on a new format, the narrative CV. In this text, we highlight the main characteristics of narrative CVs, emphasizing their advantages for presenting academic achievements in a con-cise and focused manner. Narrative CVs, which are usually brief, allow re-searchers to highlight the milestones they consider most relevant in their ca-reer, without focusing exclusively on scientific publications or the academic impact of these. This approach promotes a qualitative evaluation of research, giving researchers the freedom to emphasize the contributions they consider most important. However, it faces criticism for potential subjectivity in evalua-tion, the influence of the applicant's rhetoric, and other challenges such as lin-guistic barriers and gender biases. Finally, with the aim of familiarizing re-searchers with this new model, we offer ten tips or recommendations for effec-tive writing of a narrative CV, emphasizing the importance of highlighting recent and relevant achievements and developing a personal narrative that allows indi-vidualizing the research capabilities of the applicant.
