What Does Not Go Into Your PIF The contents of your PAF (Personnel Action File), which is on file in the Dean s office, should not be duplicated in your PIF. Your PAF includes permanent items maintained throughout your employment at CSUN, for example, your hiring letter, acceptance letter, personnel review letters, teaching evaluations, etc.
What Does Go Into Your PIF 1. Opening statement 2. Index Tells readers where in your PIF they can find certain documentation 3. Your CV 4. Section overviews 5. Documentation of your professional activities and accomplishments
Your CV Revise your CV so that its structure mirrors the structure of Sections 632.2-5 1. Professional Preparation 2. Teaching Effectiveness and Direct Instructional Contributions 3. Contributions to the Field of Study 4. Contributions to the University and Community
Your CV Once your CV s structure mirrors that of Sections 632.2-5, you should: 1. Revise and reorganize your CV so that each item on it falls under the appropriate heading Decide where on your CV (i.e. under which heading) to put certain items 2. Arrange for your PIF s structure to mirror that of your CV Use the Index as an intermediary between your CV and your PIF Where an item appears on your CV serves as a guide to where it (or documentation of it) will appear in your PIF
Helpful Hints Saving space by Copying efficiently Avoiding duplication Practicing the enough-documentation-is-enough rule Ensuring readability by Having someone read and review your PIF before you submit it Double-checking your PIF s organization, the accuracy of your Table of Contents, the comprehensiveness of your documentation, and so on
