Preparing a great resume and cover letter for a non-academic job requires specific information for public and private sector jobs. While many graduate students are considering non-academic careers, they are not sure how to approach the transition. In this presentation, we will delve further into two essential components of the non-academic job search: resumes and cover letters. This presentation will be attentive to the differences between curriculum vitaes and resumes and academic and non-academic cover letters. Crucially, it will also help academics learn to sell their particular skill sets. During the workshop, grad/prof students and postdocs will learn:
1. How to successfully convert a CV to a resume
2. Write a cover letter for public and private sector jobs
3. Learn industry specific terminology and how to translate your experiences for an industry audience
