Industry<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><font color="#ff0000">Thursday</font>,
January 29, 3:00-4:30pm, 3-133<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are considering exploring Industry
positions, you will need to have a resume that effectively
positions you for this path. This workshop presented by Bob
Dolan will discuss the process of converting your 4-6 page CV
into a 2 page resume for industry, and creating a document that
effectively targets the Hiring Manager. Can your resume survive
a 15 second scan and still get into the YES pile? Discussions
will surround the strategies of effective messaging and how to
be "on-point" with your written communication. Actual MIT
PhD/Postdoc resumes will be provided as handouts. Advanced
registration requested via CareerBridge: <a
