JHI How-to: Convert Your CV into a Resume

You can perform close readings, create a comprehensive literature review and assemble case studies from the most fragmentary sources. You have a huge set of complex skills but knowing how to describe them in a way that lands with employers can elevate your resume into a job interview.

Join the Jackman Humanities Institute (JHI) for a practical online ‘how-to’ workshop designed specifically for graduate students in the humanities and qualitative social sciences to build a road map for a career outside, or alongside, academia.

Key topics:

• How to restructure your CV into a resume format without flattening your experience
• How to translate research, writing, and teaching duties into language employers recognize
• Which of your humanities skills map onto what non-academic workplaces actually value
• Concrete phrases and framing that help your discipline-specific experience make sense across industries
