Resume Impact Workshop

Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows seeking career opportunities outside academia may find it difficult to communicate their skills and accomplishments in a way that makes it easy for hiring managers to appreciate their potential. In this intensive resume workshop, participants will be challenged to translate their experiences in a way that highlights their career potential.

The Resume Impact Workshop will be held on Jan 27 and Feb 3, 6:00PM-8:00PM in WB 407 and will be delivered by a group of U of T PhD alumni with experience in marketing themselves and working in industry.

To apply for the workshop, submit your current resume as well as a short (<200 words) personal statement to CEGSA (cegsa.chemeng@utoronto.ca) by Tues, Jan 20, 2015 at 6:00PM.

Take advantage of this great opportunity to boost your resume for non-academic employers!
