LCL2021 Career Management: Resumes 1: Building Your Comprehensive Resume
Channel: Linguistics Career Launch
Date: 2022-02-16

In “Resumes: Part 1”, Alex Johnston presents ways to mine your experience for accomplishments to create a “Comprehensive Resume”.

Valid experience includes achievements in unpaid/volunteer work, academic teaching & research, and part-time work.

Alex will provide some exercises for identifying common threads in jobs you’ve loved in the past and identifying what aspects of jobs you love.

Alex will also promote the concept of preparing a “Comprehensive Resume” so that you have a longer doc to draw from and edit into a “Tailored Resume” for a specific job application.
