Cover Letters and Resumes for Diverse Career Pathways in the Humanities Workshop
A Humanities Career Connections Workshop
Register for this workshop at https://myumi.ch/W24xd.
Presented by the Institute for the Humanities, Rackham Graduate School, and the University Career Center, this series of events is intended to support humanities graduate students from across fields in exploring and preparing for the diverse career paths available to them. Students may attend events individually, but may find it especially helpful to attend each in progression.
About today's workshop:
With a focus on humanities students, this workshop will provide guidance around cover letters and resumes for positions beyond tenure track roles.
The process of synthesizing your academic experiences into strong application materials for jobs beyond academia can be challenging but rewarding. This workshop is a hands-on opportunity for graduate students to learn how to effectively develop a resume using the foundation that they have laid with information and experiences from their CV. The session will also include strategies for writing compelling, tailored cover letters and thinking strategically about how these two documents complement each other.
To make the most of the session, students should come prepared to discuss and workshop ideas, and have a simple list of their recent experiences and skills they might want to highlight (a CV or past resume would also work).
About the presenters:
Joe Cialdella is the assistant director of internships & public scholarship at Rackham Graduate School. Kirsten Elling is the coordinator for graduate student career advancement and the Rackham embedded career counselor at the University Career Center.
