For 2024-2025, ACH is pleased to offer monthly professional development sessions. These informal zoom meetups will focus loosely around a particular theme—sometimes a skill, sometimes a reading, sometimes simply a discussion topic—and will offer a chance to build community while learning something new.
Our first session will focus on academic CVs, hybrid CVs, and résumés. Though they may seem formulaic at first glance, CVs can be structured in many different ways, and the choices you make will affect how readers interpret your material. Join Dr. Lauren Klein and Dr. Katina Rogers for this session offering tips, pitfalls, and overall guidance on putting your best foot forward.
Please bring your CV and/or résumé as well as any specific questions you may want to discuss.
