Your CV is used for the academic job search and in some cases for PhD's seeking positions in industry or other research settings. This workshop will cover the important elements of a CV, including strategies for how to showcase your particular knowledge and experiences effectively. We will also discuss how to covert a 4-6 page CV into a 2-page resume for industry. Handouts will include actual academic hiring committee interview questions and an actual postdoc industry resume.
