If you couldn’t make it to our in-person CVs to Resumes presentation in September, join Alaina Nickerson online for the same information webinar-style! Learn about the differences between an academic CV and an industry resume. This session discusses specific ways you can make your resume stand out to employers and get our documents working for you rather than against you in your non-academic job search.
