Converting Your CV to a Resume
Organizers: Student Concerns Subcommittee
Guest: Brittany Etmanski, PhD Candidate, Department of Sociology & Legal Studies at the University of Waterloo
As the market for those with graduate degrees has expanded, it has become increasingly important to prepare students for the versatile career opportunities available to them. As such, this webinar aims to foster participants’ skills articulation and transferability by discussing how to convert your CV into a resume. The session will identify what employers’ “top skills” for job candidates are, how to convert a CV to a resume (and the differences between each), and the “do’s and dont’s” during the process. We conclude in an active and dialogical back-and-forth aimed to give all participants the chance to take turns listening, querying and sharing ideas.
