| Jan 15, 2010 at 2:26 | comment | added | Deane Yang | @Pete: My answer below indicates the reason. I was on a committee that viewed the activity listed as a serious distraction from the candidate's professional activities (research and teaching). My feeling is that if it is not relevant, just omit it. There is only downside risk, so why take the chance? | |
| Jan 14, 2010 at 1:35 | comment | added | Pete L. Clark | @Deane: could you be more specific about this (I understand if discretion prevents you from being entirely specific)? For me, a piece of information which is irrelevant to the hiring decision simply gets ignored: e.g., if someone lists athletic achievements, then absolutely nothing is gained or lost. I have heard tell of candidates who have gotten themselves in trouble by including negative or unprofessional sentiments on their applications or webpages (e.g. "math education is for losers"), but that seems like a distinct phenomenon. | |

| Jan 14, 2010 at 0:56 | comment | added | Deane Yang | @Jose: I beg to differ. "Of interest" is not the same as "relevant to the hiring decision". I recommend omitting any information that is not useful to judging whether you are the best candidate for the position. I have seen non-mathematical information actually harm an otherwise strong candidate's chances. | |

| Nov 5, 2009 at 23:35 | comment | added | Jose Capco | I think some non-mathematical achievements are of interest even to the mathematicians. Of course I wouldnt put high school honors and other noninteresting things. However I have never included a grant in my CV, I find it a bit unusual. I wouldn't evaluate anyone from the grant he/she received. | |
