*Effective CVs for the Academic Job Search*

*Tuesday, Oct 14, 2:00-3:30pm*

The CV is used for the academic job search and in some cases for PhDs 
seeking a research position in other settings.  This workshop presented 
by Bob Dolan 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. All GECD events are open to MIT undergraduates, graduate 
students, postdocs, and alumni. Advanced registration requested via 
CareerBridge: https://www.myinterfase.com/mit/student

*Career Values & Decision Making*

*Thursday, Oct 16, 1:00-2:30pm*

As an MIT student you have lots of career and job options, but which one 
is right for you? How do you make big decisions like what to do after 
MIT or what to aspire to 10 years down the road? This workshop will help 
you clarify YOUR values - what's important to you. We will focus on how 
those values can help you make good career and job choices. All GECD 
events are open to MIT undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and
