How a Published Thesis Adds Weight to Your CV and Professional Profile?
3) The Case for Publishing your Thesis in Terms of your CV and professional profile Graduates often spend considerable effort honing their CVs, improving their LinkedIn profile, and preparing their application forms in preparation for the next phase of their careers. What may well not feature prominently on their list is the strong potential contribution to their professional profile offered by their published thesis. If a thesis is already an significant achievement in your life, then publishing it can only serve to demonstrate more strongly what you contributed beyond simply your output in the thesis.
A CV simply states where you studied, where you have worked and your capabilities.
A published thesis can more concretely indicate your ability to conduct research, your capacity to think independently, your knowledge of your subject area and your ability to see a project through to the end. Simply listing 'critical thinking', 'data analysis' or 'academic writing' doesn't serve the purpose of a thesis that is openly available, clearly demonstrates these very things and to what effect. It may well be that employers and institutions want to see more than claims on yourCV. If so, then the best way of providing proof of capability is with evidence in the form of a published thesis, of which other academics or indeed professionals will gain access.
A published thesis can be of great use to students pursuing further academic pathways, including doctoral studies, research assistantships, fellowships, teaching posts, postdoctoral positions and research grants, not to mention students seeking to work in roles such as those of research or consultancy or policy advisor, policy research or data analyst, or indeed the fields of healthcare, education or public services.
It provides evidence of having already produced a piece of work with academic significance. Similarly, in areas outside academia, a thesis that has been made available could provide powerful proof to an employer of the ability of the prospective candidate to undertake research and analysis, and communicate their findings with clarity and expertise. A published thesis would provide further evidence of this, as well as suggesting dedication, commitment and the ability to complete a long term and difficult task, which could be advantageous for positions within demanding organisations.
Finally, a published thesis also enriches an online profile of an applicant, as a thesis published on any database of published academic research will be found when potential employers use the internet as a tool in the job search and screening process, which again strengthens your profile by establishing a clear and documented record of intellectual input into the research community. It goes without saying that, by publishing your thesis, it also continues to offer potential benefit to you well after you leave university.
