Channel: Linguistics Career Launch
Date: 2022-02-20

Now that you have a comprehensive resume, it’s time to tailor! How you tailor and format your resume will depend on the sector and the job. 

We’ll talk about differences between CVs and resumes, how to write STAR bullets, and how to apply discourse analysis to job announcements.

You’ll take away a format for effective bullet points (& narratives) and tips on framing your experiences.
