How to Write a Resume That Hiring Managers Will Actually Read
November 6 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
PhDs and Postdocs often approach resume writing as a self-reflective exercise — they “convert” their CV into a resume and focus on their academic accomplishments. But if you’re trying to catch a hiring manager’s attention, this is a failed strategy.
Instead, PhDs and postdocs should treat their resume as a persuasive document, designed to convince a hiring manager to contact you for an interview. An effective resume focuses less on your list of accomplishments and more on describing how you can solve a hiring manager’s problems.
This webinar is designed for doctoral students, PhDs, and postdocs from all academic disciplines who are wondering:
- What do I need to include in my resume?
- What are common mistakes PhDs make on their resume?
- How can I apply more effective strategies to ensure my resume catches the attention of the hiring manager?
