Description. Whether you're going on the market next year or in four years, it's not too early to start thinking about your cv. The academic cv not only presents your research, teaching and service to potential employers, it is also an important part of other grant and award applications. This workshop will introduce you to the basics of effective cv writing and provide an opportunity to receive feedback about your own cv. If you have already begun drafting a cv, bring two hard copies of your current version to be workshopped. And If you haven't yet begun compiling your own cv, no worries: now is a great time to start! Bring whatever you have and take advantage of this supportive context to get your materials on the right track.

Learning Outcomes. As a result of this session, participants will be able to: 

1. Understand the basic elements of the curriculum vitae

2. Identify effective and ineffective ways of representing experiences on a cv

3. Consider how to translate their own experiences and activities into an effective cv

4. Provide and receive feedback with other workshop participants
