Sometimes, it is worth "counting", noting, and listing invited talks at your own institutiuon in that sort of situation, as it shows the strength of interest in your work, and may show that you are attempting and successfully performing cross-departmental collaborative work. | |

After all, you're trying to convince people of your value to the institution; giving talks in local research seminars is an important part of your job. | |

Savitt | For the CV I had to put together for my tenure case, I was required to split out the talks into various categories -- invited colloquia, invited seminars, invited conference talks, contributed talks. (I counted all my local talks as contributed.) For my normal CV, I just have one talks section. | |

| Oct 14, 2010 at 22:58 | comment | added | Ben Webster♦ | I'm with Andy on this one, just make a talks section. I have been warned that you should have a really complete list of talks you have given for tenure and promotion stuff, though I comment some of those out on the version of my CV I post on the web or would use for job applications. | |
