Writing Effective Resumes for Non-Academic Jobs (Mentees)

Physics students graduate with a huge array of transferable skills, which are extremely useful to employers (particularly in the private sector, which is the largest employment base of physicists at all degree levels). However, the key to successfully connecting with these opportunities lies in how well graduates are able to communicate their skills and abilities to potential employers. In this workshop we will learn about some of the many opportunities that exist besides the “familiar” academic path, and explore how to effectively represent your skills, knowledge, and strengths to employers in those non-academic fields.
