First Steps Towards Academic Employment – Crafting a CV and Cover Letter

In this interactive workshop, high quality CVs and Cover Letters will be presented and examined, and tips and suggestions on how to craft a CV and Cover letter will be provided. This workshop is designed for both new librarians and librarians interested in moving into academic librarianship. This workshop will start with finding vacancy announcements, move towards crafting an appropriate and impactful cover letter and CV, and end with what to expect for next steps if a candidate is successful in obtaining their initial application. Some time at the end will be provided for questions, however this will not be a workshop to provide personalized assistance.
