    The CV is used for the academic job search and in some cases for
    PhD's 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 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
