CV-Resume Workshop + Sign-Ups are Live for the MIT Spring Career Fair!

Wed Feb 27 16:38:10 EST 2019

From: Robert Dolan <dolanb at mit.edu>

Does Your CV and Resume Communicate the Right Message?
Thu Mar 14th   1:30-3:00pm   Rm. 26-100

In prep for future job searches and upcoming Career Fairs this workshop will discuss the many ways of creating a CV/resume that effectively targets the Hiring Committee. Can your document survive a 15 second scan and still get into the YES pile? Whether you may target academia, industry, or both, discussions will surround the strategies of effective messaging and how to be "on-point" with your written communication. Your CV and resume needs to highlight a list of relevant accomplishments that links your skills to the needs of the institution/company. You’ll use these techniques in your lifelong career strategies. Actual MIT PhD/Postdoc resumes and CV’s will be provided as handouts.
Register at careerbridge.mit.edu View under “Events”, “Workshops”

Also, registration for the Spring Career Fair is now open.  Please see flyer below to register and attend various employer visits at CAPD office E17-294.  As a side note BCG indicated that they are looking for postdocs and they will visit on Mar 21st.

Thank you,
