A critical component of the hiring process for nonfaculty careers, even those within academia, is the resume. This webinar will help attendees craft a resume from their academic and work experience. We will discuss:
- Differences between a resume and a CV
- Basic resume structure
- Translating your academic skills for a nonspecialist audience
- Tailoring your resume for a specific job ad
We invite (but do not require) attendees to share a draft resume, preferably with an accompanying job ad or description, to get personalized feedback from the speakers. Selected resumes will be anonymized and discussed during the webinar. Please submit draft resumes to fglifederation@gmail.com by April 24.
