Connecting your Dots: Converting an Academic CV to a Resume

Register through myFuture

You’re finishing your graduate degree and exploring careers beyond the academy – but how do you convert your academic cv into something legible and meaningful for employers outside higher education? Join us for a workshop sharing strategies for translating your record of academic achievement into a new document – a resume - designed for non-academic job applications. Open to all: This session is designed for graduate students and postdocs, and open to undergraduates.

Learning objectives:

1. Learn about the differences between academic cv’s and non-academic industry resumes
2. Identify transferrable skills and learn how to articulate them as relevant experience in the context of a non-academic job application
3. Feel confident rethinking your career stories and applying for jobs outside academia

Please note that these sessions may be recorded. To qualify for CCR recognition, you must register for and sign into the online zoom event using your McGill email address.
