Researchers and research support staff
The traditional CV favours evaluation shortcuts such as research metrics and penalizes applicants with non-traditional career paths. Major research funding agencies and recruiters are adopting new formats that incorporate narrative elements, either supplementing or substituting the standard CV, trying to obtain a more comprehensive portrait of the career and professional skills of the applicants.
In this course you will:
- Learn the strengths and weaknesses of a traditional CV and the rationale behind a narrative CV.
- Learn about the different formats of a narrative CV and common feedback from the community and reviewers.
- Learn to identify and categorize education, professional experience and skills in your CV to transfer them to the different sections of a narrative CV.
- Practise writing some of the sections of the CV.
In preparation for the workshop participants should send their standard CV and a cover letter.
Participants should bring a laptop for this course.
