*Converting Your CV to a Resume for Industry*

*Thursday, January 29, 3:00-4:30pm, 3-133*

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: https://www.myinterfase.com/mit/student**
