How to Write a Résumé That Hiring Managers Will Actually Read: A Webinar for Ph.D. Students
Ph.D.s and postdocs often approach résumé writing as a self-reflective exercise — they “convert” their CV into a résumé and focus on their academic accomplishments. But if you’re trying to catch a hiring manager’s attention, this is a failed strategy.
Instead, Ph.D.s and postdocs should treat their résumé as a persuasive document, designed to convince a hiring manager to contact you for an interview. An effective résumé focuses less on your list of accomplishments and more on describing how you can solve a hiring manager’s problems.
This webinar is designed for doctoral students, Ph.D.s, and postdocs from all academic disciplines who are wondering:
- What do I need to include in my résumé?
- What are common mistakes Ph.D.s make on the résumé?
- How can I apply more effective strategies to ensure my résumé catches the attention of the hiring manager?
Duke graduate students can attend this webinar for free through The Graduate School's subscription to Beyond the Professoriate.
