  Curriculum Vitae (CV)

  The Curriculum Vitae (CV) is the best place to present a concise picture of your entire career and to convey information not reflected on the Promotion Information Report (PIR). It is very important that a current CV is in your Official Personnel Folder (eOPF). An absent, outdated, or improperly formatted CV will make you less competitive for promotion.

  When uploading your CV, please note that only the most recently submitted CV document is retained in the eOPF. If a CV coversheet is used, it, must be included as page one (1) of the CV. (i.e., Do NOT upload the coversheet separate from the CV or it will be the only document that appears as your CV in the eOPF).

  It is essential that you use the category-specific CV format, as it will assist board members in quickly locating information to score specific precepts. For recommended CV formats refer to your PAC website, contact your Professional Advisory Committee (PAC) Chairperson (PDF, 348kb) and/or contact your Chief Professional Officer (CPO) (PDF, 19kb). Additional contact information may be found on the CCMIS website under the “About DCCPR” tab. Referring to the Category Benchmarks is also critical when you develop your CV.

  Your CV will not be available to the Promotion Boards unless it is uploaded through eDOC-U no later than the deadline listed on the Promotion checklist.

  NOTE: It is highly recommended that you submit documentation of claims made on your CV to your eOPF. For example:

  • Interim transcripts, if working on an advanced degree, or final transcripts if you have completed an additional degree beyond your qualifying degree. For instructions for submitting transcripts, refer to the eOPF FAQs, Continuing Education section
  • Certificates or letters or appreciation for PAC, Work Group, or community activities

  DCCPR will NOT accept photographs, publication reprints, and program agendas for inclusion in the eOPF; this information is most effectively documented in writing through the CV.

  If you do not find the answers to your questions on this website, please send an e-mail to: PHSPromotions@hhs.gov.
