About this workshop
If you've already written your CV and Cover Letter and want feedback on them, this workshop is for you! Participants will be paired together and will use a checklist based on the Academic Career Readiness Assessment (ACRA) to give and receive feedback on their materials. Past trainees have reported that this peer-review process is very effective! Laurence Clement will facilitate this process, provide feedback, and answer questions. To participate, you'll need to share materials with Laurence by Tuesday October 6 at 5 p.m. See instructions below!

Learning Outcomes
By the end of the workshop, you'll be able to:
  • Develop application materials to represent yourself adequately for faculty positions
  • Identify areas of improvement for your application materials
  • Analyze and evaluate other candidates' application materials
  • Develop a strategy for addressing the areas of concern in your materials

Note: We do not review application materials in 1:1 appointments. Come to this workshop to have your application reviewed and then schedule a 1:1 appointment to discuss how to address weaknesses or concerns from your feedback.
