[ATTW-L] Teaching the resume

[Ray Boxman]

Hi Mark,

 

We teach CV and resume preparation in our Communicating Science short course (directed at STEM grad students) – see http://communicating-science.com. Our approach is conventional, however, based on common practice and not supported by any current research effort. Most of Chapter 9 of our text book (https://www.worldscientific.com/worldscibooks/10.1142/10145) is directed at CV’s, resumes, and other job-hunting documents.

 

Regards,

Ray

Hi Mark,

 

You might check out Chalice Randazzo's work. She has done important and interesting research on reflexivity in the process of resume design, gaps and silences in resumes and cover letters, and other considerations-- almost all of which is positioned in the context of teaching students this genre.

Hi,

I was wondering if you teach resume creation (and by extension, branding one's self and tools like LinkedIn) in your introductory courses, and if so, if you have any suggestions for doing this in a way that is supported by existing research.  My own sense is that resumes, although important, seem to be less important than they once were.

 

We'll be collecting research about resume writing and the semantics of electronic resume filtering processes in class today, but I thought I would "drink above the horses" as it were and ask the experts as well.
