Reason #234 why graduate students and PhDs can't just convert their academic CV into a resume... A resume isn't just a list of skills and responsibilities -- it's a persuasive document, designed to convince a hiring manager to contact you for an interview. And employers don't just want to see what you've done; they want to understand the IMPACT of your work. How have you applied your skills with success? What results have you achieved? How can you show -- not just tell -- your value to an employer? ?If your institution subscribes to Beyond the Professoriate, you can access the lesson "Writing Resumes That Communicate Your Value to Employers" here: https://lnkd.in/dTgB4ifX This quick lesson will help you move beyond simply listing your skills and achievements -- so you can craft a resume that demonstrates evidence of success and speaks to hiring managers. ????. ?????????????? ?????? ???????? ?????? ???????? ???? ?????? ?????? ???????????? ??????????????... ???? ??????'???? ???????? ???? ?????? ????????????????, ?????? ???????? ?????????? ?????? ?????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ???????????????? ???????????????? ???????????? ???????????????? ???? ???????????????? ?????? ???????????????????? ???? ?????? ?????? ???????????? ??????????????. ?????????? ???????? 3 ???? ?????? ???????????????? ???? ???????? ?? ???????? ???????? ???????? ?????????? ????????????????????.?

Do you want to make a good impression on the graduate program you are interested in? Then read this. As you interact with recruiters or graduate programs, you are bound to exchange emails. You are also likely to receive a series of emails with information from the university or a specific graduate program. However, I noticed in the last year that prospective students are answering these emails as if they are text messages. No signature, no specific information about their interests or background, and not even clicking on the links provided. ? Treat this communication with care, it will provide the graduate program with a first impression of your potential. ? First, carefully review the email and the call to action (what they want you to do) and any links. ? Second, when replying, provide a little bit about yourself - current degree, research or graduate program interest, any other pertinent information. ? Third, sign your email. What to avoid? ? Asking about deadlines (it is probably in one of the links). ? Email back with a one line like "I'm interested". ? Asking questions that indicate you didn't click on any of the links. You can use these email communications to establish early on your potential for graduate school.

Only a few spots left for today's (2/14) IDP workshop! See details below.
