Your PhD in a CV
Target group
Finalising PhD students and postdocs. Aimed at more experienced researchers, but beginners who are in their first two years can join as well.
Participant limit
40 places.
Date
Monday October 13th (FEARS), 13:45-14:45
Workshop content
In this interactive workshop we will list do’s and don’ts for drafting a cv with an academic background.
Your cv is the business card that makes (or breaks) the first impression a recruiter gets of your profile. It should show your professional personality, be adapted to the targeted position and communicate your killer points. In this workshop, we will deduce guidelines regarding style, structure and content based on discussion of frequently raised questions and authentic input.
Tom De Moor works for the University Language Centre of Ghent University (UCT), where he coordinates, develops and teaches courses in academic and professional language education. Among other transferable skills, he frequently gives workshops and coaches on academic application skills.
