Thursday, January 12th, 1:30pm – 3:00pm, 4-270
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.  Pre-registration requested via CareerBridge<https://www.myinterfase.com/mit/student>.
