Abstract
This study examined the generic structure of CVs written by faculty members at the University of Peshawar. The primary objective was to identify a generic move-step structure for CVs, analyze their lexico-grammatical features, and observe any deviations from the established structure. A total of 26 CVs were analysed using Bhatia’s (1993) move analysis model. The analysis revealed that candidates mostly employed and adhered to the identified move-step structure. However, deviations occurred when additional steps were introduced or when a single communicative function was distributed across multiple steps. The study identified a generic structure consisting of five moves and ten steps. Lexico-grammatical features included the frequent use of action verbs, the avoidance of personal pronouns, and a preference for the simple present and simple past tenses. This study aimed to develop a standardized structure that can guide the drafting of academic CVs. The identified structure may also serve as a foundation for future research on CV composition.
