21-09-2020 11:00 am - 11:50 am Add to iCal
Other Online, webinar

Your CV is your golden ticket to an interview. A recruiter and a hiring manager will only hire you if you can create value and communicate it.

Enrolling a PhD program is a major career decision. And most PhDs have trained their ability to both working hard and to keeping up with a laser like focus to reach their final goal, the thesis. Although the PhD itself is an accomplishment your future career success will not be served on any silver plate. To land your dream job, weather you find it or create it, you also need to apply yourself.

Many candidates get rejected by hiring managers without knowing the writing mistakes they are making. In this webinar you will learn about branding, importance of key words, and how you can draw attention to important sections. For an industry CV – Less is more!
