Academic Job Market: Crafting Your CV and Cover Letter

Hiring committees review scores of applicants for a given position. Impactful materials, especially the CV and cover letter, are often the difference between moving on and being thrown in the “no” pile, since they are usually reviewed first. Dan Olson-Bang of the Graduate School will offer tips about crafting CVs and cover letters that give readers exactly what they want to see.

This session is part of the 4-day Academic Job Market Crash Course for graduate students and postdocs, running May 20-23, with daily schedule as follows:
