Part 1 – CVs, Cover Letters, and Other Critical Documents
If you’re planning to go on the academic job market this fall, begin preparing your documents now! You never know which parts of your application package the search committee will see first and weigh most: CV, cover letter, research statement, teaching philosophy, letters of reference, and more! Come to this workshop to learn how to create a graphically pleasing and dynamic package that will help propel you to the next step…the interview!
Part 2 – Academic Interviews
Whether your first face-to-face meeting is at a conference interview or on a campus visit, you need to know what to expect and how to prepare. Come to this workshop to learn strategies for your job talk, chalk talk, and teaching demonstration, pointers for conversations with faculty and deans, and pitfalls to avoid in these critical interviews!
