Overview: Public Appointments

Introduction

The Public Appointments sub-category provides the facility to list various public appointment positions that one may have held.

Public Appointments entries are listed by Appointment and Year/s.

Each Public Appointment entry requires a minimum of the Description field to be completed.

There is no restriction on the total number of entries you may add.

Existing entries may be edited / updated subsequently, if required, or deleted.

Entries may be manually sorted into a logical order which will be used when generating CVs and displaying on websites.

Each subsequent entry on this page will be listed in a new row and will be displayed alternately in a blue / black font colour. This formatting is only used within the eResearch Profile context and purely for ease of visual display of multiple entries.
