| Event: | PDCD161766 - Preparing a CV for non-academic job applications |
|---|---|
| The non-academic CV should be two pages long, targeted to a job-description and highlight skills and competencies rather than focusing on papers and funding secured. But what if everything you've been doing for the past few years is focusing on papers and securing funding? This session aims to clarify what non-academic recruiters are looking for in your Curriculum Vitae and covering letter. Being competent: Identifying competencies as a PhD/ postdoc and as a person Being focused: Targeted/ skills-based/ competency-based CVs Being relevant: Matching the job-description to get shortlisted Being yourself: 'Branding' or personalizing your application | |
