<p class="MsoList"><b>Creating an Effective CV for the Academic
Job Search<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoList"><b>Monday, April 28<sup>th</sup>, 3:00-4:00pm,
4-153<o:p></o:p></b></p>
The CV is used for the academic job search and in some cases for
PhDs seeking a research position in other 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 some aspects of the academic
job search – such as writing a research or teaching statement, or
obtaining letters of recommendation. It’s helpful to bring a copy
of your CV or a draft with you to refer to as we go through the
material in the workshop. Register on CareerBridge under the
Events tab. <br>
<br>
**<br>
<br>
Reminder:<b> Campus to Career </b>- This is a joint GECD (Global
Education & Career Development) and Alumni Association event
that may be of interest to you as a postdoc at MIT. Note that
although the information given at the workshop (and others in the
series) might be geared to new graduates, postdocs are very
welcome.
<p class="MsoList"><b>Tuesday, April 22<sup>nd</sup>, 7:00-8:30pm,
32-155<o:p></o:p></b></p>
Graduating soon? Wondering what to expect in your new job? 4
dynamic alumni panelists will be addressing your questions as well
as sharing their own experiences in the first years following
graduation. Topics will include: finding, establishing, and
maintaining relationships with mentors; how working in teams is
different in industry than at MIT; what qualities to develop in
order to be a successful supervisor; and the most difficult part
of transitioning to industry. Join us for this new and insightful
event co-sponsored by the MIT Alumni Association and Global
Education and Career Development Office (GECD), as part of the
Backpack to Briefcase Series. Register for this event at
